4 Months of Fear: Why DCA Is the Smart Move
Welcome back,
The crypto market has been in a state of fear for the last four months, and this has been one of the longest fear phases in recent history.
The Fear and Greed Index is something that has helped traders decide how to manage their buying and selling strategies. However, over the past four months, the market has been so brutal that no matter where you buy, the price seems to go down.
This is where DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) comes into play as a helpful strategy. It allows you to average out your buying cost on your favorite assets over time. While the market is still in fear, I would advise everyone who wants to be profitable in the future to invest wisely.
By now, many people have already invested most of their money and may not have much left to invest.
But if you are a new trader thinking that you will win just because you entered late and expect to get the perfect entry point, you are mistaken. The market can punish new traders as well, especially those who think they are smarter than it.
Even if you are new, you should practice DCA. It helps you reduce risk compared to those who invest all their money at once out of greed or fear. Do not be one of those people. Instead, invest based on your total capital.
For example, if you have $1,000, you can invest $250 in Ethereum now. Whether Ethereum goes up or down, you can continue investing gradually over time. This way, your average cost will be more balanced and acceptable.
So follow a strategy and stop complaining. That’s all for this vlog.
Thank you, and happy trading everyone.
