๐ Bitcoin Purchase Strategy (January 2026)
๐ช As of January 3, 2026, Bitcoin trades around $88,000โ$89,000, consolidating in a tight range ($85,000โ$90,000) after a disappointing 2025 (-4% to -6% yearly return).
๐ช This follows the 2024 halving, marking the first post-halving year with losses, signaling the traditional four-year cycle is weakening due to institutional dominance, ETF flows, and macro factors.
๐ช The recommended strategy is Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA): Invest a fixed amount regularly (e.g., weekly or monthly) regardless of price. This mitigates volatility risk in Bitcoin's unpredictable market.
๐ Why DCA over lump sum?
- Bitcoin's high volatility means timing the market is difficult; lump sum risks buying at local peaks.
- Historical data shows DCA often outperforms in volatile assets like BTC during corrections, lowering average cost when prices dip.
- Studies (e.g., Vanguard analogs applied to crypto) indicate lump sum wins 68% in rising markets, but DCA reduces drawdowns and emotional stress key in crypto's 24/7 trading.
๐ Current setup:
Bollinger Band squeeze suggests imminent volatility; potential downside to $84,000 or upside to $95,000+ in January.
๐ Implementation steps:
1. Determine affordable fixed amount (e.g., $500โ$1,000/month; only risk what you can lose).
2. Use reputable exchanges (e.g., Coinbase, Binance) or ETFs for easy recurring buys.
3. Set schedule: Weekly buys capture more dips than monthly.
4. Secure holdings: Transfer to self-custody wallet (hardware like Ledger) after purchase.
5. Long-term hold (HODL): Aim for 4+ years; forecasts range $120,000โ$170,000 by end-2026 on institutional adoption.
โ ๏ธRisks:
BTC could drop further (some predict $50,000โ$66,000 in correction); no guarantees. Diversify, avoid leverage.
