Bitcoin is pushing toward new highs, and the energy in the market is picking up again. But I am wondering is dollar cost averaging (DCA) still the best approach now?

Many people DCA during bear markets when prices are low and fear is high. But with current prices climbing and sentiment shifting toward greed, is it still wise to keep averaging in at regular intervals?

Are you personally continuing your DCA strategy, adjusting your frequency or amounts, or taking a different approach altogether?

Let’s hear how you are thinking about your Bitcoin stacking strategy in this phase of the cycle.

DCA is a powerful disciplined investment strategy and it makes sense to do it when the market is low for bitcoin. You can buy more at lower prices at regular intervals which reduces your average purchase price over the long term. It is also almost impossible to accurately predict when the market will peak DCA takes the pressure off you keep investing whether the market is up or down.

Absolutely agree with you, DCA removes the stress of trying to time the perfect entry, which even seasoned investors struggle with. It keeps you in the game consistently, allowing you to build your position over time without getting caught in emotions or hype. And when the market is low, it becomes even more powerful because you are getting more value for each dollar spent. In the long run, it is not about catching tops or bottoms, it’s about staying committed and letting time do the work.

I am and that's the good thing about it. You have no limits, how low or high you are going to buy. No one gives you an amount on how much you should buy because we're doing it out of our free will and availability of our pockets. If we can buy at the dip, it's also a good one but being consistent in DCA, it will take you to the mountains and you'd see how effective it is when you're about to sell at the right time. But, are you going to sell when that comes? maybe half yes and no.

That’s the beauty of DCA, it’s flexible and personal. You are not forced to meet any fixed amount or timing. Whether it’s a dip or not, what matters is the habit of showing up regularly and buying within your means. Over time, that steady effort compounds, and you will be surprised how strong your position becomes.

As for selling, it is always a tough call. Some might choose to take profits, others may hold longer. But the key thing is you will have options. And having that control is what makes the journey worth it.
