That's why you should only buy aggressively during the dip if you have the financial leverage to do so, but if you don't have just move on with what you are doing weekly or monthly, their is no cause for alarm.

An investor can buy aggressively at any market conditions, I don't think it's ideal to only be aggressive when there is dip. It all depends on what the investor wants to achieve with his portfolio. Since long term investors buy at all market conditions, an investor can decide to buy aggressively when he has resources readily available irrespective of market sentiment.

Of course, aggressive buying can be praticed at any time as long as you have the funds to do so. If you slow down the pace of your aggressiveness when you can do it because it is not yet in the dip, what if you keep the money and before the dip comes you have used it for something else because the dip comes at a time unknown to anyone. I am not talking about reserve funds here because I know thag those long-term investors who want to put everything in place as they keep their bitcoin investment accumulation ongoing, they will definitely create a reserve funds which they can use to buy at the dip but not necessarily aggressively.

I might have an opportunity to cut down my expenses because I want to buy bitcoin aggressively and move down to a low cost environment where cost of living isn't expensive based on some good reasons best known to me and I decide to use the excessive money for paying the mortgage and other expenses to invest in bitcoin and I will still libe a normal life. I wouldn't start piling up the funds to wait when bitcoin dips before I can buy aggressively. Rather, I will start buying aggressively after I move to the new apartment. Only buying bitcoin aggressively during the dip wouldn't help you increase your bitcoin faster compared to when you buy aggressively at any price level.

I think it's better to analyze and study these dips whenever they happen. Rather than framing it as “Bitcoin proved everyone wrong,”

What benefits will studying and analysing the dip do for you as an investor? For me it's a total waste of time and energy. We all knew that there will always be dips as an investor so there is no point trying to analyse or study whatever might be the cause of the dip. Such studies and analysis is not really necessary the way I see it.

Keeping records is good.
