Strategy Overview & Mechanics
Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) is a disciplined investment technique where you invest a fixed amount of fiat currency (e.g., $100) into Bitcoin at regular, scheduled intervals (daily, weekly, or monthly), regardless of the current price. Dynamic Value Averaging takes this one step further: you increase your purchase size when Bitcoin drops significantly below its 200-day moving average, and reduce or pause buys when Bitcoin is experiencing extreme euphoric parabolic runs.
Bear markets, consolidation phases, and long-term multi-year horizons.
Key Technical Indicators & Tools
Systematic Execution Rules
Automate recurring purchases (e.g. every Monday at 00:00 UTC). Optionally allocate a 2x bonus allocation whenever the Fear & Greed Index drops below 20 (Extreme Fear).
DCA is primarily an accumulation strategy. Partial profit-taking typically starts when Bitcoin enters blow-off top territory (Mayer Multiple > 2.2 or RSI monthly > 80).
No stop loss is used; position risk is managed strictly via small, incremental sizing and long time horizons (3-5+ years).
