Waiting for a drop is never the right approach. This will make you miss out on buying. You think that if Bitcoin reaches $90,000, I will buy. If it doesn't, then you have missed out on buying. You can continue to buy consistently using the DCA method, so you can buy at all levels. If you want, you can set aside some money to buy aggressively.
If you are going to hodl long enough - you can buy anytime, and be in profit.
I don't know if as many as possible were able to identify the trend of double top and double bottom and how this has been shown recently on the market performance if we are close on the chart, we would have seen this coming and know the kind of position to take as regarding investment, but for the time being now, we should expect more of the market pump and its more likely that we get to all time high this month or sooner.
Majority of the followers of this thread may not be able to relate with you because staying glued to the chart to monitor market trend and intermittent direction is attribute of traders who are looking for quick ways of profiting from the market. From my understanding, most of the discussions have been centred around long term holds so it is my believe that people here are mostly looking for how to buy and hold for long and not bother by what the price is or what is printed on the chart.
Even if there may be few traders here, they may be doing this separately from their long term Bitcoin accumulation thereby making discussions about trading here totally unnecessary.
I agree, that this thread talks a lot about investing in the long term in bitcoin and long-term investment certainly will not require too much analysis. Because basically long-term investors only accumulate routinely (for those using the DCA strategy) and hold it in the long term. Or those who invest using the Lump sum strategy are the same, they will not be too fixated on the price when they buy their bitcoin. Because basically why should we bother thinking about the current bitcoin price, or analyzing the current market, if we are going to hold the bitcoin for more than 10 years. This is where the difference lies between genuine long-term bitcoin investors and traders who say they are bitcoin investors.
In addition, buying bitcoin when it is down is also, of course, this strategy is less than ideal if you are a new investor in bitcoin and do not have a large portfolio or even none at all. Because for bitcoin investors who may already have a portfolio of 75-80% of their target, I think buying bitcoin when there is a decline will not be a problem. In addition, the funds used in my opinion must also be separate, if you want to do that. Because don't let our DCA be disturbed because we only buy when it's down.
And for beginners, my advice is, just do DCA, so don't worry too much and just enjoy the process.
