Just because an asset has fallen doesn't mean buying more automatically makes sense.

Averaging down only becomes a strategy when you know why you're buying, how much capital you're committing and when you will stop.
Otherwise, DCA can quietly turn into chasing losses.

When a token falls 20%, the natural reaction can be:

“It's cheaper now.”

But a lower price alone does not create value.

In a bear scenario, I would ask three questions:

Has the fundamental thesis changed?
Is liquidity still there?
Do I have a predefined budget for another entry?

If the answers are unclear, buying simply because the price is lower may only mean taking a larger position in a weakening asset.

The strength of DCA is that it doesn't require perfect timing.

Its weakness is that it can also increase exposure to a bad asset.

So instead of:

“A decline = opportunity”

think:

“Decline + valid thesis + controlled capital = a scenario worth evaluating.”

💬 What do you think is the biggest mistake investors make when averaging down?

Risk Note: A falling asset can continue falling. Averaging down does not guarantee reduced losses.
