Always buying at the considered dip requires extra ammos. This will be tough for an average bitcoiner.

What makes people refrain from doing buying action during every dip is confusion and doubt. Analyzing the current trend is one of the recipes in making a speculation which will result on next strategy. At most of the cases, if we say today is downtrend, it will be the case that will lasts for long period. But sometimes, people doesn't think of other way around that even how powerful a trend is, it can be reversed anytime.

So what to do now? Trust your judgement if it was properly analyzed. After all, if the purpose is really to HODL for long, people can considered every price level as dipping level*.

Buying during a dip requires confidence and patience. Analyzing market trends is key, but remember, even strong trends can reverse unexpectedly. When aiming for long-term HODLing, every price point can be seen as an opportunity. Instead of focusing on short-term fluctuations, it's about trusting your strategy and seeing dips as potential buying chances rather than setbacks.

This sounds like trading too me, because a true Bitcoin investor don't need to analyze market trends or even be paying attention to candle sticks chart pattern, and secondly, what strategy are you talking off as a Bitcoin investor?
Try to take this your trading to the appropriate board because as a Bitcoin investor we actually don't need trusting any strategy, all we need to do is to buy once our discretionary income is available, and have measures in place so that we can hold successfully, such as having a source of income and an emergency funds so as not to fall back to our holdings anytime any emergency needs arises.

It seems you are getting Xun hu wrong his statement doesn't direct to trading rather he is emphasising on long term hodling and also advising not to only wait during the dip before accumulating Bitcoin I think that's what he mean.

Regarding what you have said we don't just need discretionary income we also need a strategy to accumulate Bitcoin, we have the lump sum strategy which allows you to accumulate Bitcoin in large quantities with huge sum of money, we also have the DCA strategy which allows an investor to accumulate Bitcoin gradually either buying every week or month regardless of the price of bitcoin we also have buying the dip method but investors mostly use the dca strategy since it allows to accumulate Bitcoin regularly weekly or monthly irrespective of what price bitcoin is and try as much as possible to hodling for long once the dip come you also take it as an opportunity to accumulate more Bitcoin if probably you won a lottery you could also decide to lump sum.
