Bitcoin’s Wild Ride: Why Experts Say ‘Don’t Buy the Dip’ (Seriously!)

by

In a move that could only be described as a diplomatic game of “who can throw the biggest tantrum,” the U.S. has decided to slap a whopping 104% tariff on Chinese goods. Yes, you read that right—104%! This new tariff, which will take effect at the stroke of noon on Tuesday, April 9, 2025 (because why not make it dramatic?), is the latest chapter in the ongoing saga of the trade war. Apparently, the White House felt that China’s refusal to remove their own retaliatory tariffs was a personal affront, much like someone stealing the last biscuit from the tin.

Bitcoin’s Price Faces Critical Test

Meanwhile, in the land of digital coins, Bitcoin has found itself in a rather precarious situation, like a cat on a hot tin roof. The cryptocurrency is currently testing a support zone that traders are watching with the intensity of a hawk eyeing a particularly juicy mouse. The price is wobbling between $75,152 and $77,672, which is a bit like trying to balance on a tightrope made of spaghetti. If it manages to hold on, we might see a bounce back, but let’s not get our hopes up just yet—there’s always a chance it could plummet lower, like a lead balloon at a party.

In the short term, Bitcoin’s price action is as predictable as a cat’s mood. If it can muster the strength to rise above $81,282, we might just see a glimmer of hope for a bullish trend. But let’s be honest, a brief jump above that level is about as reassuring as a chocolate teapot. For a real trend reversal, we’d need a breakout above $83,792, which is like asking a cat to fetch—possible, but highly unlikely.

Should You Buy The Dip?

In a recent tête-à-tête with CoinDesk, Glen Goodman, a crypto trader and author (and possibly a wizard in disguise), shared his sage advice on whether investors should dive headfirst into the market after a recent crash. Spoiler alert: he’s not exactly waving a flag of encouragement.

  • Avoid Catching a Falling Knife: Glen warns against the age-old folly of trying to buy when prices are plummeting faster than a rock in a pond. The phrase “don’t try and catch a falling knife” is a favorite among traders, and for good reason—nobody wants to end up with a hand full of regret (and possibly a trip to the hospital).
  • Wait for Stabilization: He suggests that patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to the crypto market. Glen prefers to see the market stabilize and show signs of recovery, like a toddler learning to walk, rather than jumping in during what could be a “bull trap.”
  • Long-Term Outlook for Bitcoin: Glen also muses on Bitcoin’s long-term potential, noting that while it’s too early to declare the bull market dead and buried, the recent dip has raised eyebrows. After all, Bitcoin has been on a strong trend since 2023, but will it continue to grow at the same pace, or will it take a leisurely stroll instead?
