Why Buying the Bitcoin Dip Might Not Be the Best Move Right Now
With Bitcoin’s price falling sharply below the $100,000 mark, the “buy the dip” crowd is louder than ever. But let me offer a contrarian view: now may not be the right time to make significant Bitcoin purchases. Before we dive deeper, this is not financial advice—just a perspective aimed at helping you navigate the market more effectively.
Let’s address the question: why avoid the dip? First, it’s crucial to protect yourself from becoming exit liquidity for more experienced players cashing out. Second, a dip does not always mean a true discount. While Bitcoin is currently trading around 13% below its all-time high, such fluctuations are routine in the crypto market. True buying opportunities often emerge during more substantial corrections, like those that occur in Bitcoin’s well-known four-year cycle. Historically, Bitcoin's price surges post-halving but declines significantly in the following “bear year,” typically reaching lows near or below the previous cycle’s peak. For example, in 2022, Bitcoin dropped to $15,500—well below the prior cycle’s high of $20,000. Based on this pattern, a meaningful discount may only appear when Bitcoin retraces closer to $53,000 in a future cycle.
This doesn’t mean you should abandon sound strategies like dollar-cost averaging, especially if you’re a long-term investor. However, if someone asked me today whether it’s the right time to buy heavily into Bitcoin, I’d likely advise caution. Timing your purchases during deeper corrections maximizes the upside potential, particularly for new investors. While market sentiment is currently buoyed by governments and corporations increasingly adopting Bitcoin, it’s worth noting that selling pressure from institutional entities like Bhutan, Germany, or Tesla also plays a role. Given the cyclical nature of Bitcoin’s price movements, I believe a sharper correction may still lie ahead—and that’s when I’ll be a more aggressive buyer.
While there’s optimism about Bitcoin’s future, exercising patience and waiting for significant market opportunities often yields better results. For now, it’s worth holding off on sizable investments and letting the market dynamics pl
