If you want to stick to dollar-cost averaging (DCA), you need to let go of the idea of 'buying the dip.' For most people, the bottom is a range, not a single point. And even if there is a single point, you’re not lucky enough to guess it or hit it. $15.8k in 2022 was the lowest point, but how many people actually bought at that price? Even if you did, would you have dared to go all-in? Probably not. Back then, many thought BTC would drop to $12k or even break below $10k. Looking back, from May 2022 to October 2023, those 17 months were a great window for DCA. The average execution price was around $23,400, during which we went through major events like the LUNA crash, 3AC/Celsius collapses, and the FTX meltdown, as well as the $15,800 cycle low. So, using the discipline of DCA to counter market uncertainty is the most reliable strategy for ordinary people to navigate through cycles.
