Buying at a low price is a very good choice and a good move. But it is not at all advisable to set a time limit for it. If you ever get an opportunity to buy at a low price or buy DIP while maintaining the continuity of your investment, then it is definitely a good move to take that opportunity. But when you stop the continuity of your investment and wait for the market or DIP, it will be a completely inappropriate thing. In this, you will only delay your investment and remove yourself from the investment journey. You will even continue to suffer financially. So give more importance to maintaining continuity in your investment and take the opportunity to buy DIP if you get it. Never wait for a specific time.
Literally I think it would be unreasonable to set a time limit for buying at a lower price if you are in the early stages of saving because it may not be easy to become the owner of coins in the initial stages of savings because confusing moments can overwhelm you at every moment. It is true that it is an inappropriate thing to do when someone despite understanding the market sentiment waits for a dip instead of maintaining consistency. Therefore it can be said that instead of waiting for a specific time to create opportunities for financial empowerment, it would be possible to become a responsible investor by understanding market trends. Maybe it is known to all that investment must be lively, but the initial stage will be slow but to my knowledge after starting at a small level the real potential of this asset will always continue.
Waiting or setting a timeframe to buy the dip is not a good choice in my own opinion because nothing is guaranteed in the market, anything can happen, and sometimes the dip you thought would happen might never come, so if you were actually waiting and hoping for it to come before buying, you will be left disappointed and an opportunity has been wasted, so that is why I think that the best possible way to acquire a huge chunk of Bitcoin in a dip is to continue buying through the dca accumulating strategy either weekly or monthly, and when the time of the dip comes, you falls back to your reserve funds then and invest aggressively, by so doing, you didn't lose either way, you were active in your accumulation on all fronts, not by waiting when you are not sure that the dip you envision in your head might happens.
You are absolutely correct, waiting for the Dip is just like someone who finish the little food he had even when he is not hungry hoping that manner will fall from heaven the next day, and this situation two things are involve and one thing is that if the manners fall from heaven then this person will feed well but if it doesn't this person will go hungry. Remember the possibility that this manner will fall is not certain so bouncing back to investor who are hoping for Dip before they will invest, they are really wasting there time because there is no guarantee of this Dip and so the best thing to do is to keep buying little by little regularly and also be preparing for the Dip.
Dude you are mistaken the function of discretionary funds to reserve funds, the discretionary funds is where an investor will dip hand and front load when there is dip and not reserve funds, reserve funds are used for human needs and wants not for investment so don't get it twisted.
