It can be more effective when you have a strong backup fund and sufficient cash flow. There is nothing wrong with buying in a falling market, but waiting for a falling market or planning around a falling market can prove you wrong and if you fail to catch it, you can take the wrong steps which can cause you a lot of losses. A market fall is a good opportunity for every investor to stock up. Let it happen naturally, when you try to buy the dip artificially, you can be forced to take the wrong steps. Because you do not know when the dip will happen and how long it will last. Here you are more likely to panic and there is a higher chance of hurting yourself.

The market can go down or up. If you have a solid plan that you've stuck to from the beginning, this shouldn't affect you. For example, if you said you would buy Bitcoin on the 3rd day of every month and you're buying it, don't postpone it to the 4th day just because Bitcoin has fallen and might fall further. You can't predict when the decline will stop and the rebound will begin. Instead of wasting time on that, stick to your plan. When you see how many coins you have in the long run, you'll naturally stay away from the temptation of daily trading. Everyone makes plans, but very few people stick to them.

This is very correct and an important point, since the market's ups and downs are completely unpredictable and despite a big dump at any moment, Bitcoin is capable of recovering a huge amount in an instant, so we should never delay in investing, we should strictly adhere to consistency, if we set a specific time for investment, we should invest as soon as that time comes and then no matter how low or high the price is, it does not matter, it is the right decision to keep buying continuously without worrying about the rise and not affecting yourself by it, then it is possible to get better results in the long term, but the mentality of waiting for a little more dip to buy when buying, and this is a trading mentality, and its results are never good every time.

My sincere concerns goes for new investors in Bitcoin or rather say newbies in their investment journey. I believe following the wrong strategy at the beginning will definitely affect them sooner or in a long run. A newbie who is very much excited about buying the Dips and internationally stacks money aside to buy dips has invariably reduced his Bitcoin accumulation speed at his early stage in the name of waiting for uncertainty( I mean Dip period because it's never certain of the time). Why holding down money which can be used to gradually increase your portfolio while waiting or hoping for dips? Dips are nice to stack up a hole lot of Bitcoin, but I feel it's better of as an investor who has spent some time in investment scheme, which gives him some experience, a little bit of judgemental decisions of when to buy and not to buy, such an already existing investor is aware and used to the ups and downs of Bitcoin and so many related matters. And investor with few is these experiences can actually prepare for dips and not just a new born baby who not know his right from left to get so much excited of the gains from dips and then begins stacking and waiting for dips thereby reducing accumulation speed.

International Ans progressive accumulation of Bitcoin by newbies should be directed towards the DCA strategy using the discretionary funds. Accumulate as you can no matter how small the discretionary. This gives you confidence for long term investment journey and gains since you invest without pressure after settlement of basic needs(discretionary funds). Stacking and waiting for Dips isn't a bad idea, but as a newbie, I feel you should gather more knowledge in the market as you invest, get to understand signal, get to know the workability of the investment journey, gather few experiences, them you can at least think of anything like dips, so I think.

I agree with you. You have raised some very important points. First of all, waiting for a dip is never a good sign. Actually, no one can say what will happen to Bitcoin in the future. People wait to buy Bitcoin at a dip. But when it is seen that the price does not dip as per their expectations, they cannot invest in Bitcoin. Many people follow DCA and invest but keep a separate fund for buying at a dip. For example, a person is buying Bitcoin with $200 every month from his discretionary income. Along with this, he is saving $100 every month and has decided to invest when the price of Bitcoin drops by 15% or more. In this way, even after 6 months, he saw that the price did not decrease as expected. On the contrary, the price has increased even more than before. In this situation, he has saved $600 in 6 months but has not invested in Bitcoin. But if he had followed DCA with discretionary income and invested, he would have made a lot more profit. So investing by following the DCA method is always a good sign.

However, as you mentioned above, those who have an experienced market understanding of Bitcoin can buy at the dip because they understand when the price will be low or high. In fact, I personally think that it is very difficult to know what the price of Bitcoin will be in the short term. I don't think anyone can say what level Bitcoin's valuation will be in 1 month or 3 months. But in the long term, the possibility that the price of Bitcoin will increase is very high, we can understand it by looking at the past market conditions. So if someone has a lot of money. From which if he loses a small amount, it won't matter much. He can invest to understand the condition of different types of investments, but I never support waiting to buy at the dip or creating a separate fund to buy at the dip.
