Buying dips are great provided provided you are in a long term uptrend. Moving averages are a great way to tell when trends shift. I like checking them across monthly, weekly and daily timeframes to help.
Totally makes sense that buying dips will work better when the upward trend is there. Is that what you’re getting at with this pic? I’m trying to think of buying dips without upward trend is present is still good. Would love your thoughts!
