I think more time to accumulate will occur this year though it seems we wont be going back to the lows of the year, thats been rejected a few times. I do think it takes some time to get past 70k and properly move beyond. The real time to buy was either in the teens or when we were rising from there, it required more confidence to do so. Right now we've been stuck in a range for 6 months, most tempting thing is to buy the lows of that range and sell the highs hence it repeats.
Even though I understand that no time is absolutely wrong to buy bitcoin, I would also want to understand that you are suggesting that there will be more dips in the form of higher lows in the future. If this is what you mean, then I agree with you completely. On the contrary, if you are suggesting another round of bitcoin winter, which is not impossible, I will not agree with you base on the fact that we are already entering the last part of the year where bitcoin perform great.
Most of the negative news that would have caused major dump in price have come out yet bitcoin withstood them, so I do not see much things that will lead to any dump. Rather there are serious optimism in the market and bitcoin is responding accordingly. As I am typing, the price just hit $68k and the momentum to the upside is still very strong. Anyone waiting for a dump in price before buying might actually be waiting for a very long time.
