The Real Question Behind 'Buy the Dip': How Many Points of Discount Are Enough

One thing that always confuses me about the popular advice of 'buy the dip' is that analysts rarely explain what *'the dip'* actually means in terms of points or percentages. Everyone says 'buy the dip' when the market falls, but they never specify at what point the discount becomes worthwhile. For example, should you be looking at a 2% dip, a 5% dip, or something more significant like a 10% dip? How many points should the market fall before you consider it a good opportunity to buy? This lack of clarity is often frustrating, as the market can fluctuate a lot, and it’s hard to know what level of dip actually presents a good buying opportunity. In my strategy, I’ve broken this down with specific thresholds for when I consider buying after a dip. It’s important to have a clear plan, not just a vague idea of buying when the market goes down. If you've ever wondered how to approach the 'buy the dip' advice more effectively, I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences
