So, September's looking pretty rough for crypto again. In the past, this month hasn’t been great, and it seems like this year is no different. We’re seeing Bitcoin and a lot of altcoins struggle, with more losses than gains.
But hey, dips can actually present some good opportunities. Long-term investors often use this time to dollar-cost average and boost their stakes. For those trading short-term, the ups and downs can create chances for swing trades and quick flips.
Don’t forget about smaller cap coins too. Sure, they’re risky, but they often make big moves during market downturns, and events like trading competitions on exchanges can throw in some extra profit potential.
Ultimately, it all depends on how much risk you’re comfortable with:
Do you buy slowly and steadily even when things are looking down?
Or do you play the volatility for some fast cash?
Well if we do have some fiat I think we should buy the dips. Most of my fiat I did invest in Bitcoin buying the dips and we can do same thing with the alt coins.
For me, I do think we will make more profit if we do invest in Bitcoin. There are not alot of alt coins that I do buy the dip.
Only 1 I do buy now is Ethereum when it does dip down. But if you want to invest in the alt coins now is good time to get cheaper coins.
Historically September seems to have formed bottoms in bull markets. The price has then gone on to rally hard in the last part of the year. October & November are usually good months. If you have money to but now then sure, go for it. You should already be positioned though, we have had years to buy cheap coins.
Yeah, for sure and if also you think that there will still be altcoin season or it just has started, then buy at this dip and take advantage of it. There could still be some altcoins that can give us a good return at the end of the year.
Ethereum could be one, or at least if there are Bitcoin maximalist, I think there are also Ethereum maximalist who has been holding it for the longest time, or at least this cycle. And with that, another dip like this is a opportunity that they can't resist.
Everything depends on whether an altcoin season will actually happen or it won't. Many people are convinced because it happened in the last cycle, but their primary motivator is because they are deep bagholders. If they didn't hold many altcoins that are down hard, they would not be so convinced about an altcoin season. My take is: Wait and see. Everything is very different than in the last cycle, which means that we can't predict what will happen. It is possible that an altcoin season will repeat itself, but also that it won't. If it does repeat itself, I expect it to at least be different from the previous ones.
Many projects suck, they never should have been created. It is time for bankruptcies and a clean out of this market.
Although the signs for dip has shown or maybe correction but I still believe it is rather early to go for it except for someone who has clearly spotted the tops and now aiming for the down and who knows the extent that it will go. DCA for now isn't a best option for down so that you don't get trapped. Weak hands will sell but institutions will keep hodling and that makes more complication. For me futures is looking better to pick profit here and there until the direction is clearly shown. However, Ethereum is looking the better altcoins investment for now, I wouldn't risk more in altcoins.
September has always truly been a tricky month for crypto!! like currently i took a long trade on Bome at $0.002000 since the beginning of this month and the coin has been circling around $0.001960 and my TP is set at 0.0024 the market is just slow and annoying. but though with all manner of sincerity!! the thing is that most times we already expect the market to dip around this period, so it is not that much of a surprise when it happens. it is more about how you position yourself during the bad market movement!! the thing is that if you are in it for the long term, then DCA during these red weeks can pay off later because history has shown the market always recovers after these drops, although it is technically a green week as of 7th September but green without real pump. But for short term traders, i agree that the volatility can be an opportunity as well. the swing traders are always sharp enough for qucik scalps and quick profits but it is also a bit risky because one wrong move and you are stuck holding bags just like me at the moment.
as for shitcoins they can pump hard during this time but they can also crash even harder, so it is a game of high risk and high reward. but on a personal note i think september is more of a patience testing period becuase it is either you accumulate quietly or you play the volatility carefully, depending on your risk management level.
Seriously investing in altcoins is just kind of risky, because you cant really predict them, any altcoin can disappoint at any moment, we have seen different altcoins failed us in the past, and am sure some will still fail in the future, thats why we have to be careful when investing in altcoins.
I do always recommend investors to hold for long term, even when there is dip in the market, you wont really be disturb about it because you already know that with time its going to bounce back, but short term investors will definitely panic because they dont know when the market is going to bounce back. But long term holders dont really care about the dip.
I dont really encourage people to invest in altcoins because of the risk involved in it, altcoins cant be trusted, if they are dumping, then the price might not bounce back. But if we are investing in altcoins, then avoid new coins, invest in coins that have been in crypto space for some time.
I'm being very conservative this month of September because it's usually a choppy month with almost no movements. Anybody that keeps a position only would only get eaten by fees because there's no clear move in either directions for majority of the weeks in September.
My plan is quite simple. I'm only going to keep a small position open so I'm not entirely on the sidelines incase we get a nice small move to the upwards. But my exposure is small enough that even if we take violent -20% to -30%, I can mitigate it.
I do the former. I accumulate patiently at most times and if I take profit, it's not going to take the whole stash that I have. I've learned already with my former mistakes in the other bull run and that's why I am patiently stacking up for what I've sold too early and to this date. Even we're in a bull run now which is likely to end anytime, I'm going to continue of what I've been doing and that's why whenever the dip is in, we have to take that moment and never let it slide without doing anything. Unless you're in a tight situation and all you can do is watch.
Just prepare some USDT if you're waiting for september dips. Though I believe the dips already happened at the end of august and bitcoin is consolidating.
Current support is strong enough but maybe it can be a better chance to reallocate from altcoin if dips were to happen.
From the chart though, I don't see bitcoin going down that much. DYOR though. I think bitcoin is still pretty strong although things can happen within the span of 3 weeks.
It is reassuring to remember that September, is a bearish month even when we are supposed to be in a bull run, we still experience it's dip, I hope that the prediction that price will rally in the last quarter of 2025 will be a reality. If you believe in this speculation then it is better to fill your bags now in anticipation to get impressive profit returns in the remaining months of this year. If for any reason we enter bear run now I don't think that we should panic because our Bitcoin is not lost expect that we have to wait till another bull run to hit another ATH. As for altcoins and the rest of the shitcoins what I can say you should buy with amount that you can afford to loose, many of them are scams.
The strategy of "buying the dip" and "selling the news" in cryptocurrency trading revolves around seizing opportunities. Buying during a price dip is often a smart move. For instance, if someone had purchased Ethereum during its dip in 2021, when the price dropped from $4,500 to $1,300, they would have needed patience, as it took four years for ETH to return to that level. Panic-selling during market fluctuations can lead to significant losses.
The crypto market is vast, like an ocean, and exploring high-potential altcoins can yield greater profits than investing solely in high-value coins. Success in crypto requires strategic timing and patience.
In the red market, accumulating Bitcoin is an opportunity not to be missed, and I see no reason why an investor who is supposed to aim for long-term investment should panic and not buy more in the red market.
The red market is a season that real investors are very happy with just to accumulate more Bitcoin. As far as long-term investment is concerned, this is a time to buy more, but at this time, people need to be very careful about the coins they are dealing with, especially in the altcoin market, because there are so many altcoins that are not even reliable in the market. If you go into the market without doing your research, you may end up buying the wrong coin.
It is an avenue to buy bitcoin at a lower rate but people will still complain about the price instead making use of the opportunity thats present itself to them, i heard and seen people predict that the price of bitcoin will reach $150 by the end of this year, since we can't come up with the exact price will wil be arriving at this year end and the year is just remaining 3months to round up, who knows that price might be possible but before that we must experience dip which we don't know if that's what we are battling now, to every bitcoiner that's active, this is time to buy not time to put excuses or to feel bad about the price, the recovery stage of bitcoin might surprising and am sure no one will want to get a surprise of what they had the opportunity to buy but couldn't not because they don't have the money to do so but because they were either waiting for it to get more dip or uncertain of what could become of it.
September is the case of slow accumulation, because we do not know how the September work which has a quite interesting historical, the decline is awaited at every purchase.
The bullish area for the end of the Bitcoin cycle will be an extraordinary thing, the price surge will definitely occur, so the Altcoin Pilhla is very resistant to the community so that it has the probability to get the maximum profit.
I don't know for many altcoins anyway, but I think since we already started the month with bear, we should have much expectations from it to pump in general crypto markets, while Incase anything happens and we have bitcoin fall, other coins too will follow the same pattern and go bearish, additionally, we can predict what may happen between now and the end of the month, any coin we are buying should worth it, while we may continue holding the once we had already.
Nice observation about Septembers as I just checked and noticed the same thing. It is then right to say that now is a great time to get in for those who want to join the ride if we are to see the peak this year. The ongoing correction is then like the last opportunity to buy more because from November, we will be close to when short term investors will be contemplating taking profits.
From my understanding those information are not authentic because there is not strategic time that altcoins survive, making a reference of September this month that altcoins do not survive or does not make a profit during this month of September that is a total fallacy and also assumption from people who makes a predictions in cryptocurrencies,
It is obvious that any coin can survive at any point in time another thing that makes a coin to be successful is when the particular coin have a sponsor and also been a volatile coin that is when a coin we gather a traffic at any cost, so it does not matter the month what matters is the demand of the coin in the market that is what helps to Skyrocket the price of any coin.
For Bitcoin better buy since waiting will not bring good any result and you might just regret every position you've missed.
But for altcoins? I will think about twice doing it and carefully will think about each decision I possibly made since I don't have huge confidence on alts since they are more fast moving especially with those shitcoins in the market.
Also for sure I would trade with volatile movement of other alts but for Bitcoin I continue to accumulate and HODL it for long time.
