Is it best to start DCA now as a new investor ?

[SavvyTon]

With Bitcoin currently at $86k, it’s safe to say buyers are constantly buying the dip which has resulted in increased momentum in favor of the bulls. I’m excited Bitcoin is picking up again, it stayed below $80k for too long. Even though i knew it was due to market correction, i just kept wondering if it will drop further below $70k in the coming bear market. As a new investor, do you think it’s best to start DCA or to wait for the bear market before investing ? What’s your opinion on this ?

it is best to buy when you are ready if you already have enough funds and you want to buy some right now then you should take advantage of this time where the price is not as high but if you are not able to then no pressure as bear cycle is looming and soon it will come enough though of course the profit would come after a long time

To be honest, I am not doing DCA as of the moment all because I don't have a regular income but I know that this can be an effective system to accumulate more Bitcoin and even any coin for that matter. Now that there is a good dip, the more that DCA can be an effective way for any investor to use anytime. I am happy that eventually Bitcoin seems to be making a good comeback but it is not yet there near the last ATH so there remains a good room to wiggle through. So as much as you can get as many Bitcoin as possible because you will never know in just a blink of an eye there can be a new and bigger ATH established for Bitcoin's history.

Indeed, DCA is a good strategy to accumulate bitcoin, but if I share my part here, it is that I have already taken a full exit out of bitcoin, maybe at the price of $75k or $76k because I needed funds at that time, and I am not planning to buy back at the current price, and I will not buy until I find it cheaper, and until then, I am just watching the market. The reason that I believe the market is standing at its edge and from here it can rise up and fall down, and this put me in the thinking of before investing.

I will surely buy back bitcoin whenever I find it cheap, and from there I will start my DCA for the accumulation of bitcoin. This is my part in this, and here I also need your suggestion haha, as I am a bit confused here as well.

One of the greatest advantages of Dollar Cost Averaging is that it removes the headache of timing the market. When you buy, you are getting bitcoin at an averaged price, this means that when you enter the market,  no matter when, if you are consistent, you will be at the winning point in the end.

It is not strange that you are confused with your strategy. If I should be honest with you, your strategy seems outdated, it worked in the past but it is becoming irrelevant now. When you time the market in such a manner you may likely lose out entirely. Bitcoin has hit global adoption, will you be surprised if you see bitcoin at $500 tomorrow? If you keep timing the market, you will be the loser on the long run. As much as you can, keep buying bitcoin aggressively.

If bitcoin is going to fall again, I do not think it is going to fall to $70000. Also you said DCA. Yes, there is nothing bad to DCA right now. Bitcoin price will still increase before bear market will start. Not now for bear market. But investment right now should be a short term.

A person can start out now or during the bear and would still get profit, smaller or bigger, depending on the time of proper hodling and many other factors.

But the results would still be there.

For now, one should have a proper analysis according to the current market condition, then after that, he/she should start his/her DCA(Doller Cost Averging), I am saying this because the market is currently sitting high, and we don't know the next move of the market. Well, mate, where do you see Bitcoin's new all-time high, as the previous one was $109K, and what can be the next one? Would just like to know it from you! 

Other than that, I was reading a headline today that Trump was planning to give a lot of countries a break on tariffs, which I find the best decision for the current market condition. CMIIW!

It is always best to do DCA and if money is not a problem to you then buy whenever you want. If you are a low budget investor I think it is best if you have price range for you best entry or just buy weekly regardless of prices because if price will continue to go down maybe you will be able to catch the deepest dip and that is an advantage when price come back up.

No one can be sure if BTC will return to $70K before continuing its growth. The BTC price might surge straight to $150K, or it could dip below $70K and then back to $50K in the next crypto winter. No one dares to give you advice on this, especially since we're in 2025, not 2023.

Personally, I believe BTC will still hit an ATH in the $150K-170K zone, so if I have the funds, I'll still DCA more BTC and ETH at the current price zone. StrategyB is buying, Metaplanet is buying, El Salvador is buying, I'll buy too instead of panicking ^^

It doesn't matter new or old trader or holder it is very important for everyone to follow DCA because risk management can be done by making investments following DCA method. And the movement of the market can be tracked as well. When you invest according to DCA, you must follow the market constantly and at that time you will understand the movement of the market.  And you will also gain a lot of insight into which coins are doing well and may do better in the future. so DCA is always better for new traders and also professional traders

Cryptocurrency market always unpredictable and uncertain. When what will happen it is difficult to say. But i think Bitcoins price is not stable right now. We saw few days ago Bitcoin price decreased near about $70k. But now near about $86k. I think Bitcoin price will down more and more and it will come back near about $50k.
So you can follow DCA method. I think it is best policy to invest on Bitcoin in bear market. I will start DCA within short time. Because i strongly believe today or tomorrow Bitcoin price will high more and more there has no doubt.

The reason why people do DCA is because of situations like this where Bitcoin is high and you don't want the price to left your money sitting down. It's better you put that money into Bitcoin and the best way of buying and not getting caught is DCA, you guy at different prices so that your average buy price will be lower than where it's trading right now.

The best thing about DCA is that you don't need to buy your coins at once, spray them at the price and continue to buy when you have more money later, it will interest you that you might not have any loss because you are buying at the worst prices.

The movement of bitcoin now seems slow because it's like there is still not enough FOMO to give the market a big and sudden push to the upside. I'm pretty much optimistic that if a single big firm now should break news of them buying a couple 100,000 bitcoins then you see price climb up so fast.

I really don't know how long we will remain within the 80k price mark but I'm pretty sure the process will be quite a slow one.

The movement of bitcoin cannot be predicted accurately, we only predict that this year will be bullish again but the fact is that bitcoin is even experiencing a correction.

What if the price of bitcoin does not drop to $70K and instead rises above $100K you will regret not buying now right?
If the goal is for the long term then it is better to invest now without looking at the price - doing DCA is a good strategy for beginners.
