"Buy the dip" does not mean "buy at every dip."

The biggest mistake I made at the beginning of my cryptocurrency journey was entering too quickly when the price dropped—without confirming the trend, without technical analysis, just with FOMO and the belief that "it will definitely go up again."

🚨 Back then, I bought a mid-cap altcoin during a 20% correction, thinking it was a golden opportunity. It turned out the correction continued down to -60%. I panicked, sold at a loss, and ultimately regretted it twice: once when I bought and once when I sold.

📚 Lesson:

1. Don’t buy just because the price has dropped—first understand the market structure (bearish or bullish).

2. Use dollar-cost averaging (DCA) with a plan, not impulsively.

3. Learn to be patient. Sometimes no trade is a trade.
