I really wouldn't be surprised or disappointed if bitcoin price tests the low support below $20k again in 2023 (but I'm sure it won't). Even though bitcoin is still trading above $24k at the moment, the possibility of a drop cannot be ignored. I don't think prices will hold well over the next few months, so of course I need to set up a budget to plan my purchases and build a strong portfolio.
The high volatility of Bitcoin really don't have to take anyone a surprise at a far range of fluctuations either appreciated or depreciated as long as long the digital coin could hover its trading rate values from the $0 and the $0.09 above til date. So as the volatility values of the coin rated $69K at 2021 in appreciations which has
also been depreciated to lower series of value rates and today it is around $37K yet 2021 history has not been surpassed.
Just as long as I am addicted to the Bitcoin volatility its value appreciations and depreciations can never have me a shock.
So @ OP, your optimistics to setup your Bitcoin portfolio at when the Bitcoin markets price is low may have you the tendencies of a long-term waiting.
You just don't hope on that to occur before you can set-up a purchasing budget. Just as we all who came into the system late are on regret why we didn't come earlier as the Bitcoin was introduced, this could also have you regreted in time after long-term waiting for a fail of the Coin before you could set-up a purchasing portfolio with a specific intension. If that doesn't happen in a close range of time, then it has proffered you wasted times waiting.
Don't panic, do some analysis and collect some bitcoins if you have more budget. I will be doing this for the rest of the year and hope it will benefit me for years to come. Don't sell at loss, that's good advice for anyone holding it so far.
Of course having a planned accumulating Bitcoin budget is a good one especially when engaged on the long-term goals of investment because it the future would always have the best when you opts out of yesterday and todays fear or experiences.
However, I love to advice that a Bitcoin accumulating budgets shouldn't gaze at only when the price is gone low but some specific periods of schedules such as daily, weekly or monthly also as yearly. But this is only possible if the Investor is a stable income earner on a diversification off his long-term Bitcoin investments journey.
