Waiting longer for a Bitcoin dip does not get you a better price, which is bad news for buyers who keep sitting on cash hoping for a cheaper entry.

• Stretching a dip-buying window from one week to three weeks fills more orders, but the average price you pay stays the same.
• The extra fills come from trades that would have run away from you anyway, so the patience earns nothing.
• In practice, if the dip is coming, it shows up within about two days — not weeks.
• Holding cash past that window mostly means missing the move, not buying lower.

Outlook: Buyers waiting for a pullback should act inside a short window or accept they are paying up later.
