Buying the dip? Catching falling knife? Have you try it before? You end up earning a lot or losing everything? Haha.
Well, buy the dip is a term used to describe an investment strategy of buying a fundamentally sound asset when its price falls, commonly due to outside factors. Investors then“buy the dip”in anticipation of prices recovering for that asset.
As buying the dip increases an investor's position, the returns can be higher if prices increase, but the risk of a potential loss can also be greater if prices fall.
Personally, I practice 2 different strategies when. Buying the dip:
1. Firstly is purely fundamental and belief. If you trust the company is doing well and the share price is short term affected due to black swan issue, then that's an entry point during the dip.
2. Otherwise, I will judge using the technical indicatior especially RSI 14. If the value is below 30, it signifies an oversold situation which may start to attract the entry of plenty technical buyers. If the value falls below 10, then it's really a great deal. However, this only works for the good stocks that suddenly dip but not on those lousy stocks that keep dropping non stop over the time.
Last but not least, remember, if buying the dip was consistently effective, everyone would be doing it. The fact that stock prices and markets go down, often for extensive periods, proves it won't work for every investor every time. At best, buying the dip can be a way to pick an entry point for an investment you already wanted to own.

Buying the dip can be a profitable strategy if done correctly, but it also comes with risks. Here are a few things to consider:
Fundamental Analysis: Before buying the dip, it's important to assess the fundamental strength of the asset. Look at the company's financials, growth prospects, competitive advantage, and industry trends. If the dip is due to temporary factors and the fundamentals remain strong, it may be a good buying opportunity.
Technical Analysis: Using technical indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) can help identify oversold conditions. An RSI below 30 indicates that the asset may be undervalued and due for a rebound. However, technical analysis should be used in conjunction with fundamental analysis for a more comprehensive assessment.
Risk Management: Buying the dip involves taking on additional risk, as there is no guarantee that the price will recover. It's important to set a stop-loss order to limit potential losses if the price continues to decline. Diversification is also key to mitigate risk by spreading investments across different assets.
Patience and Discipline: Buying the dip requires patience and discipline. It's important to avoid emotional decision-making and stick to your investment strategy. Sometimes, the dip may take longer to recover, and it's crucial to have a long-term perspective.
Research and Due Diligence: Conduct thorough research and due diligence before making any investment decisions. Stay updated with news, market trends, and company-specific developments that may impact the asset's price.
Remember, buying the dip is not a foolproof strategy, and there is always a risk of further price declines. It's essential to assess the risk-reward ratio and make informed decisions based on your investment goals and risk tolerance.
