Let me throw more light on this in a more simpler way and easier understanding to Rhow, from what I understood, buying the dip is not a problem rather it can be problematic when it becomes a primary strategy where by you have to wait for a dip before executing buying Bitcoin, but those who has considered buying the dip as a secondary strategy and not their primary strategy they are still called investors and not traders, as you said and you also need to understand that an investor who has been long gone in their accumulation process maybe some where close to an over accumulation can decide to be buying the dips and may not be buying as frequently as before, to back you up I will say that a no or low coiner who has the conception of waiting for a dip before buying Bitcoin we can called them traders because their interest is only to buy low and sell high.
A lot of people still think buying the dip" is strictly a trader’s move, but that’s not really the case. Long-term investors use that strategy too not to flip quick profits, but to lower their average cost and strengthen their position during bearish markets.
All three strategies DCA, lump sum, and dip buying can work depending on the person’s risk tolerance, income flow, and goals. It’s not one-size-fits-all. Some weeks you might DCA, some months you might sit out, and sometimes you might go all in if the market gives you a good entry. It’s all about having a plan and staying consistent.
Stormisover gave a clear explanation of what buying the dip should be and from what I understood from him, buying the dip should not be your primary approach to Bitcoin accumulation rather, it should be combined with other methods. I agree with this because if you rely on buying the dips alone, you will end up in problem, either missing out on the market or develop FOMO where there is sharp move and end up making things a little complicated for yourself. Buy the dip is not a bad strategy, but combining with the DCA method will produce great results. You can be applying the DCA method will keeping small part of your discretionary income for aggressive accumulation should there be a dip. So while waiting for the dip, you are already buying and holding and will not miss out on the market no matter what happens.
