Personally, I still consider that it would be better for you to figure out what your dip criteria would be, since if you end up waiting even 6 months, your $20 every week is stacking up and pretty soon you have $520 ($20 X 26) in your dip buying funds, and that money could have had been in bitcoin rather than sitting on the sidelines...and sure, of course, that is your choice to figure out your criteria and the balance that you should be striking.
I have stated many times that guys in their very early stages are likely better off to be buying every single week no matter what, and to be fairly conservative with any money that they are holding back for dip buying.. and even within each week a guy can try to buy the dip within the week but on a certain day if no dip comes he is going to need to just buy with his weekly authorized amount because there is entering into a new week with a new authorized amount coming available for the new week.
Sure, of course, you have to figure out what you believe is the right balance for you, which may or may not end up serving your objectives if you end up making mistakes with it.. but that is on you.
Actually we know that the market never increases continuously, there are ups and downs. I don't know if we will get a big dip but we can take small opportunities. 14-7-25 Bitcoin reached 123+ maximum. Nothing can be said for sure but it may come close to 100 or below. Then we can take the opportunity. 23-6-2025 Bitcoin price was 98, down from 108. On 3 April 2025, it came from 88.5 to 74.5. Actually, although nothing is certain in crypto currency, it can be assumed that there will be a dip at least once in six months, so we don't want to miss that opportunity. Suppose I invest weekly, if the market is at its highest at the time I invest, I will still invest but the dollars in the deep fund will be allocated only for the dip. Yes, you are right, $520 ($20 X 26) would have been in Bitcoin, but when it dips, you will regret it again. Of course, it is true that investing in Bitcoin will not result in a loss, you just need to hold it for the long term. Still, if you can save $2-4 by buying through the dip, it doesn't seem bad. No matter how we invest in Bitcoin, success will come one day.
It depends on the way you chose to invest that you can lose, but I tell you no investor, that invested in Bitcoin regrets or loses anything except for traders, that has being saying they are always at the gain which is not true instead they re looking for investors to deviating from their aim of investing into trading.
Invest what hat you can afford to lose, if the amount you use in buying Bitcoin is higher than the present purchasing price does not mean that Bitcoin will not rise above it, and that is why we say that the price of Bitcoin in the market should not be our priority but accumulating and HODLing for a long-term of 4-10 years or more, since we are no trader.
