“Buying the dip” has been the winning strategy for a decade, but in late 2025, it is a trap. With Bitcoin crashing to $91,212 and stocks sliding, analysts warn against trying to catch a “falling knife.” The momentum is decisively negative.
The reason to avoid buying is that the fundamental drivers (high rates, bubble fears) are still present. Until the Fed pivots or tech earnings stabilize, the bottom is not in.
Klarna’s CEO warned that “wealth is automatically allocated” to these falling assets. Don’t add to the problem by manually allocating more.
Even gold, the safest asset, is falling. UBS says it will bottom “soon,” but “soon” can be a long time in a market panic.
The prudent strategy is patience. Let the “correction” predicted by JP Morgan play out. Cash allows you to sleep at night while the market burns.
