Today’s drop in $ETH (-0.47%) and broader crypto isn’t random. Rising geopolitical tension and failed macro negotiations pushed $BTC (+0.25%) lower, dragging altcoins with it in classic risk-off fashion.
The question returns: when to buy?
Short answer—DCA always works. It removes timing risk and keeps exposure consistent in volatile markets. But if you zoom out, $BTC still loosely follows cyclical behavior despite growing macro influence.
Historically, the best asymmetric entries came later in the cycle reset phase—not during early volatility.
Conclusion: keep DCA active, but if cycles persist, late 2026 could offer stronger positioning opportunities.
