Before I Buy Any Dip, I Ask One Question First
Most people ask:
"How much has this token fallen?"
I used to ask the same thing.
Now I ask something completely different:
"Why is it falling?"
That single question has saved me from making some very expensive mistakes.
Not every dip is created equal.
A token can fall because:
• The entire crypto market is correcting.
• Investors are taking profits after a huge rally.
• There's negative macroeconomic news affecting risk assets.
Or...
It can fall because:
• The project has been hacked.
• The team has abandoned development.
• Token unlocks are flooding the market with new supply.
• User adoption is declining.
These are two completely different situations, even if the chart looks the same.
The mistake many beginners make is focusing on how much the price has dropped instead of why it dropped.
A 50% decline caused by market panic can present an opportunity.
A 50% decline caused by a broken project may be the beginning of an even larger collapse.
That's why I spend more time researching than watching the chart.
The chart tells me what happened.
Research helps me understand why it happened.
Since changing this habit, I've become far more patient with my entries.
I've learned that missing one opportunity is far less costly than buying into a bad one.
Sometimes, the best trade isn't buying the dip.
It's waiting until the reason for the dip becomes clear.
When a token drops sharply, what's the first thing you check—its chart or the reason behind the move?
