Should Traders Buy The Dip?
While to many investors, the dipping value of Bitcoin could be a nightmare, to those who are yet to invest seems to be a good opportunity. Buying the dip sometimes reel in huge profits, which traders are always scouting for through trading platforms. However, looking at the trading analytics of Bitcoin, the crypto has not gained much since its all time high in November, 2021, which was at nearly $69,000.
Moreover, crypto expert Peter Schiff recently predicted that if BTC falls below the 30,000, its value go down ever further due to its bearish move. Hence, traders and investors should be well aware of the situation before buying the dip and make a decision based on how the market is moving.
