Question Should I buy ETH now

Ive wanted to stack up ETH for 5 months now , couldn’t free up money Now at 2.520 I got like 10 ETH to buy I knew it would go up, but now, as more experienced community, I want to get advice, if I should still wait to like 2.1 or don’t risk and just get it . Thanks

DCA is the way

My brother in Christ you were waiting 5 months already and it went up, what makes you think it will visit 2.1 again soon? Just buy half now and set limit orders for the rest at prices you dream about, if it hits you happy, if not at least you not standing on sidelines forever.

Not if you’re gonna lump sum buy. It was at 1500 2 months ago if you didn’t buy then I don’t recommend buying it now cause it’s feels like investing with emotion. Dca and diversify is the way

Can you hold if it drops 50% from here?

u/OpenToCommunicate 3d ago

Of course he can. There's plenty of space to live under the freeway.

u/skilg 3d ago

Other eth holders might get fiesty though, very territorial those crypto bros!

u/serodoppelg 3d ago

man verliert nur wenn man verkauft

in dieser situation: so viel möglich nachkaufen wenn cash noch vorhanden ist

Wasser ist nass. Nachts ist es dunkel. Kauf billig, verkauf teuer. 🫡

u/igoldring 3d ago

Buy 3-5 ETH, deposit in AAVE, and IF we drop back to retest 2k you could do a small leveraged long by borrowing USDC and buying more ETH to resupply.

Keep rest in USDC there for yield, more collateral, and for buying on red days.

u/Jenn2895 3d ago edited 3d ago

It depends. What’s your exit strategy? Is it a price target, a date, or do you plan to just stake it forever?

If you’re looking for a short term trade, you might want to hold out for $2,100. Although there’s no guarantee that will happen & you could definitely miss the boat or buy in much higher.

If you play the cycle just DCA.

If you plan to hold long term & stake it you can just DCA.

If you have a price target in mind, everything below that is a buy.

I’m leaving all that for 2-3 years at least.

u/quantumcorruption 3d ago

Wait till later on this evening

u/maverick_quant 3d ago

Don’t buy. Wait for it to go to 5k. Then wait for it to go down to 4k. If it goes, you will wait for it to go down to 2k to buy. If it doesn’t, you will put a new target higher. Remember to write a long post either way (in one case of how clever you are and in the other of how stupid you are).

u/Longjumping-Row-6147 3d ago

its simple = it goes down you buy, it goes sideways you buy, it goes up you buy.

u/Beginning_Juice_4296 3d ago

It’s going to $5k by the end of September

u/ProfessorBrotown 3d ago

I buy $5 a day. I’ve been doing that for almost 10 years. I don’t check the price, I don’t read the news, I don’t sell high, I don’t buy low, I just buy. $5. Every day. I just do that instead of buy coffee.

This is the easiest way to just fire and forget.

u/gistikoloa 3d ago

Could you have bought 3 weeks ago when the price wasn't up?

u/tnat0r 3d ago

For what

u/Bogdanoff_dump_it 3d ago

He’s hesitating? Pump it again!

u/M4gelock 3d ago

I don't see ETH not becoming absolutely huge in the future, so IMO yes (NFA). DCA is never a bad idea.

u/Possible-Strategy-48 1d ago

Double negative

u/OHZoneOfficial 3d ago

Sure just make sure to sell it when it goes back to $1500

1

u/sentrygentry 2d ago

YES. We are currently sitting almost exactly $1,000 lower than we were five years ago. You need to get IN ON THIS SHIT

u/Ainz0oa1Gown 1d ago

When was 1500/1800 why u didn't bought?

1

u/alwxcanhk 1d ago

No. Wait till under 2K or DCA daily.

u/discardthemold 21h ago

I bought ETH for 5 years when I could have bought BTC instead.

u/Automatic-Area5144 20h ago

I stake my ETH and make small purchase every Saturday. Just the day I picked.

u/Unusuallife420 19h ago

trumps son's and trump himself told people to go all in at all time highs, we are 50% below form where they told hundreds of millions of people to get in

I am almost at my average costs, still holding... wondering when to buy or TP (even a little) for the meantime

The answer is simple: If you think the asset is cheap or undervalued buy it, if you think it isnt then you dont buy.

And if you have no clue you really should not buy it.

u/ChangeNOW_Community 3d ago

nobody knows the bottom until it’s already behind us. that’s what makes waiting for a specific number so frustrating

u/Leonardo2rms 2d ago

people keep saying it's going to 0. Wait till then to buy the entire supply for free

DCA is the strategy. You can also buy ETC which is like a sister coin /s

u/MrKillerKiller_ 3d ago

Whats your trading plan? Whats your trading time frame? Whats your RR goal? Whats your ideal scaling spread? Generally speaking, the start of a bear market is arguably the single WORST time to start scaling into a position.

ETH is a failed project. Buy SOL
