Bitcoin doesn’t neatly fit into “Buy Buy Buy” or “Sell Sell Sell.” It’s currently consolidating just below its all-time highs—anchored by robust institutional demand and ETF inflows, yet running headlong into bubble chatter and concerns of overheat.
It's depends on your timeframe:

• If you're bullish long-term: Ride out volatility and scale into positions on pullbacks—these look like strategic entry points.

• If you're short-term or cautious: Consider locking in gains near current levels, since upside momentum may be fading amid rising bubble risks and regime uncertainty.

From what you've said, it is clear you are approaching Bitcoin from a trader’s mindset, and not the long term investing mindset. And honestly, I respect how open you are about your style. And it also shows you are still be new here.

You might want to take some time and really pay attention to the discussions happening in this forum. Most of us here are not chasing short term moves or trying to time tops and bottoms, because it is not the best approach to Bitcoin investment, we’re building conviction over the long term. Bitcoin is not something you flip for quick gains, it is something you accumulate, understand, and hold with a long term vision using DCA method.

Anyone who is chasing short term profit will definitely end up somewhere they would not like, because when someone invested am amount that is beyond what they are suppose to invest with the hope and thought that they will make a bigger profit in a short time and if the investment doesn't go as planned and let say the money invested was money that was suppose to be use for a particular need and then after seeing the market Dip that is going opposite their expectation they will panic and sell in loss because the money was supposed to be used for something so is not good and most people always make this mistake.

I disagree with one of your points here because most experienced investors do not chase short-term profits because they are familiar with Bitcoin and I think that is what those who are new to Bitcoin investment do because they seek short-term profits because they invest excess Bitcoin to grow their wealth quickly and then panic when they see the price of Bitcoin fluctuate and sell Bitcoin which hurts them financially,
By following the DCA strategy, you can gradually invest in Bitcoin so that you can invest it on a weekly or monthly basis. You will become experienced and confident in investing for a long time, while also being able to grow your wealth.

I don't understand what you disagree with him on, he didn't say experienced investors chase short term profit, the fact the you are talking about an experienced bitcoin investor means that you are talking about someone who has been investing in bitcoin for years already and experience means understanding how something works so the investors understands how bitcoin works, Derek funds wasn't talking about experienced investors, he was talking about people who invest for short term gains and these kind of people aren't investors they are traders
