Is Buying the Dip Still a Thing, or Are We Just Catching Knives?

Not gonna lie—every time I “buy the dip” lately, it feels more like “buy the drip, cry later.” 😂 I’ve been DCA-ing into a few solid projects, but the charts just keep giving lower highs and lower lows.

So... be honest:

Are you still buying dips in this market? Or waiting for a proper trend reversal before jumping in?

Would love to hear how others are managing entries. Are limit orders your friend, or are we all just playing musical chairs?

Haha, “buy the drip, cry later” — too real 😂

I’ve definitely felt that sting lately. What used to feel like strategic DCA is starting to feel like slow-motion knife catching. That said, I’m still buying... selectively. I'm focusing on long-term conviction plays — stuff I’d be fine holding through pain — and only adding on actual dips, not just red days.

Lately, I’ve been combining DCA with some simple trend signals (like 200 EMA or HTF structure) to avoid buying into obvious downtrends. If price is making lower highs/lows, I let it bleed and just keep stacking stablecoins or yield farming in the meantime.

Limit orders are definitely my friend — I’ll scatter a few at support zones or just below wicks, but I’m not chasing anything. Also trying not to go full degen and throw cash at everything that “looks cheap.”

Honestly? Patience feels like the real alpha right now.

Curious what others are doing too. Are we all just chilling in stables until something actually breaks out?
