Buying the first major dip in a bull run? That's always the hardest trade to make.
You're sitting there thinking: what if this isn't a dip at all? What if it crashes lower? What if I just bought the top… again?
And then the noise starts. Everyone who missed the bottom suddenly shows up with the scariest charts you've ever seen, trying to shake you out.
I remember March 2023, right after the US banking crisis hit. I bought that dip. It was terrifying. The sentiment was awful. Everyone was calling for lower.
If you're new and feeling this right now — that pit in your stomach, that second-guessing — it's completely normal. This is what dip-buying actually feels like. It's supposed to be uncomfortable.
But here's the thing: if you did your homework, if you still believe in the bigger picture, then you just have to sit tight. The fear passes. The charts that scared you will look silly in a few months.
You'll be alright.
