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

[doc]

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 ?

Long-term DCA can be started anytime... even now if your financial planning for the future is clear, start now... for DCA we buy prices based on time, and it's routine... so when the end of our planning is finished, we will get an average price, which will make our purchases when Bitcoin prices are expensive, become helped and cheaper with our other cheap purchases...

DCA is suitable for 3-year and above investments, or at least through the four-year cycle phase after halving... which we usually see ATH there more often...

Currently I am still using the DCA method to buy top coins that according to my analysis will increase this year. although some friends have stopped using the DCA method because they feel the price of the coin is getting higher, they are afraid of being trapped in high prices because of some bad news that blows we will enter a bearish season, but I don't believe in that.

I don't really know what to think of Bitcoin but certainly Altcoins looks good for buy as many of them has dropped drastically where they are trading. If Bitcoin drop and you have interest to buy, the DCA is very good but my fear now is what s going to happen to altcoins if Bitcoin decide to drop from here, it will be a marker sucide for many.

There is nothing good at this market right now other than Bitcoin, new coins that are been launch go down immediately after some time that's why if one has short term plan on Bitcoin, he has to be very careful about the situation of the market otherwise, the loss will be difficult to bear unless they have plan for long time.

When it comes to DCA then Bitcoin is still the first choice as it's safest and overtime it will surely grow in value. Although, good alt coins can also be some useful choices, but still Bitcoin is going to be the number one choice for most investors.

DCA is only for someone who can't dump a lump sum all at once when the market dips so they choose the long game of buying small amount in regular intervals as well as consistently irrespective of the price fall or rise then only it is possible to reach the goal in the next few years. I mean even owning 1 whole BTC is out of reach for many retails investors so one who can afford to invest $100 only should start buying now...

Yes, with the strategy of the DCA method, one is in a position to invest anytime and any day as long as they are set and ready. So as to minimise the risk on the price per point we are able to buy periodically without having to concentrate so much on price. The other benefit is the opportunity to purchase construct at a lower price most especially during poor market conditions because this way, it leads to buying at a better average price. This is good for the long term investment, because it will be a part of a large pool of demand that will benefit from the average prices trends and then wait for the price cycle after halving which is likely to result in the highest next few years.

Statistically speaking, the "buy the dip" strategy, i.e. buying during the bear market, yields better returns than the DCA strategy. But, unlike the DCA, which is newbie-friendly and anyone can pull it off, trying to time the market is a different story, as it requires some knowledge and constant market monitoring.
So I guess it all depends on the amount of time you want to put in and how active you want to be in trading.
When looking at the past charts, everything seems so easy, but predicting future price action is way harder than it seems. The current situation is a good example, people can't even tell if we're still in the bull market, or are we on the way down.

The current price of bitcoin is below the previous ATH and this could be called a dip if the price rises back to the ATH or above. There is no right time on buying bitcoin every single opportunity you have, its best to utilize it by using the DCA strategy to accumulate fractions in accordance to your financial strength. I like making use of DCA strategy because  it helps keep the investor in a state of comfort while accumulating to his desired plan and goal without  affecting  other financial needs. Though it's positive  to make use of other strategies that best fits your comfort to accumulate for example  some investors might make use of lump sum  to make aggressive  accumulation probably because they sense the dip.

The market is already in the bull season and any moment from now or even as the market is now, we don’t need to be told that those investing now didn’t get the early investment start and needs to be more careful when buying now. To be on a safer side, using the DCA method should be the best approach for the market now. In no time, we are expecting that the market will go on another bull run and those that want to use the DCA method will likely be on a safer side if the market goes sideways and decide to dip a while again. It will be an opportunity for them to buy more. Those that missed to buy early should only know that using the DCA method will be the best for them.

Yeh bitcoin is one of the best among other altcoins, so it's better to bitcoin 80% of the rest you can gamble on altcoins.
I don't want too many altcoins in the portfolio because the experience used to be a lot of trapped until it was difficult to recover again but bitcoin every cycle there is always a high increase so that's what investors expect.

I will give Bitcoin  a 90% somehow  the the 10 % for others  and  it looks like the cycle could be different , doesn't matter  we will get to know before or by October, let's see how it all goes.

The usage of the Dollar costs Average is not how you are seeing it, it actually has nothing against any situation of Bitcoin price because all you are to only do is buy and keep buying, so if you are asking me weather is the appropriate time to buy when is dropping I will call it an abuse of Dollar cost average because that's not how it should be utilized and anything strictly on price dropping is considered as an only a dip buyer and not DCA.

[Mate2237]

Op if you are asking for DCA, there is no specific time of buying bitcoin with DCA. And now that the price is at the rate of $79k is an another best time to buy. And in DCA you don't have to wait and yours is continue buying either high or low and you will enjoy the it when the price is low.

And those who are buying when the price is low are seasonal investors and not DCA investors. Seasonal investors use big amount to buy bitcoin at once and wait for another low or dip again. That is how they are buying bitcoin.

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 ^^

The next crypto winter will be much more like the story of the grasshopper and the ant.

Those that are prepped will not starve they will thrive.

so op are you prepped do you have a pile of cash are you ready to buy dca?

Golden price, imo. We won't see it like that for the years to come, so we need to buy now, and never fear
