Study: Waiting for a 30% Bitcoin Dip Backfired in 61% of Tested Cases
- —In 61% of 216 cases, buying after a 30% dip cost more than at the prior high
- —Median wait for a 30% decline was 134 days, with a maximum of 881 days
- —Successful waits gave a median 19% discount; failed waits, a 76% premium
- —A 10% dip took a median 14 days but still exceeded the skipped price in 57% of cases
Why it matters: The study suggests that waiting for a pullback has often underperformed buying at highs, a key consideration for BTC entry timing.
