What is the break-even point in Crypto? Understand it clearly to invest without being 'vague'!
'Break-even Point' – The break-even point is the average price at which you bought a coin. At this point, if you sell, you neither lose nor gain.
For example:
• You buy BTC 3 times:
• 1 time 10 million VND at the price of $30,000
• 1 time 5 million VND at the price of $32,000
• 1 time 5 million VND at the price of $34,000
=> Total capital: 20 million VND
=> Average break-even price: about $31,750
If the price of BTC rises above $31,750, you start to profit.

Why is knowing the break-even point so important?
• Avoid FOMO – Losing while thinking you're gaining
The market turns green, everyone shouts 'take profit', but if the price hasn't surpassed the break-even point, you're still at a loss.
• Confident decision-making
Knowing exactly where you stand helps you be bolder when DCA-ing, or more patient when waiting to take profit.
• More effective investment strategy
Understanding the break-even point allows you to allocate capital more wisely, avoiding mistimed DCA – especially when the market is highly volatile.

In conclusion:
'Knowing where you stand allows you to know when to advance or retreat.'
The break-even point won't make you rich immediately, but it helps you invest wisely – and safely.
