There will be no specific time to buy and to sell. It will depend on the situation. But the point : buying at lower price, selling at higher price. This is the basic role that we can gain profits through trading any crypto coin (including Bitcoin trading).

Sure, we need to do analysis to get the appropriate time for entry (buying). Mostly people will say that we buy at the correction or dump. Then, selling at the next pump. Unfortunately, we may be trapped if we choose the wrong time for entry. That's why it is need to do a deep analysis before considering to buy Bitcoin or altcoins.  Wink

So the best time is to buy when I have the money~
Of course.  Grin
You don't need to think about trading if you have no money at all.
It is the main requirement, you actually shouldn't forget it.

At first glance, it look so easy that one may buy bitcoin at low and then sell when its prices are higher but in reality this isn't as easy as it seems. It is not very easy to time the market. Even if you are a very good techical and fundamental analyst, still its not granted that the move you tak, the prices will always move in that direction.

The only thing that can add to our advantage is Holding. If we can hold the bitcoin for longer term, it will usually give us good return but since many trades need short term profits, that isn't as easy.

It is trap to try to time drop as prices may fall further once you make your order, and with Bitcoin already falling almost 50% since its recent high of over $126,000, it is specially risky trap to time drop.
I think that, other than trying to figure out lowest point, most useful way to stop losing in huge way would be Dollar Cost Averaging where one buys small parts at regular times to lower their average price per bit over period.
With automated selling of Stop Loss orders when price reaches point you can no longer afford, and investing small parts of your total wealth, you can trade highly unsteady 2026 market without emotional pain of staring at screen 24/7.
I don’t even know how some persons claim they do time the drop of Bitcoin coin, because for me then when I try to time to enter I normally don’t get the perfect price..
Trying to time Bitcoin isn’t accurate at all, when you think you’ve bought the bottom, the market could still drop further..
Like for example, most people thought 70k would be the bottom of Bitcoin when this drop stated, but didnt it drop further than 70k?? It did.. Trying to time the market isn’t the best at all, so it shouldn’t be done..
Instead, investors should stick to strategy DCA, it will help straying consistent..
This just to tell you that no one can time the market correctly. To me it is much like a waste of time to be speculating the market because it may end up not going the way we have planned.
Timing the market is mostly for traders and short term investors that are looking for a low entry point before they can start accumulating bitcoin but for long term investors timing the market is a waste of time since they are not into bitcoin for quick profit.
And a lot of people don’t want to accept it, but we all know that timing the market perfectly is almost impossible..  You might get lucky once or twice, but consistently? It is impossible.. especially for long term holders, stressing their self for a perfect bottom is just draining energy..

If the goal is long term growth, then been consistent will beat trying to be correct every time.. That is why strategies like DCA is good..
