Buy the Dip vs Catch the Knife

When pullback buying works vs fails

Buy the DipUptrend intactFalling KnifeDowntrend โ€” no support

Buying a dip in an uptrend is smart โ€” the trend provides a safety net. Buying a dip in a downtrend is catching a falling knife. The difference: is the 50 EMA rising? Is breadth healthy? Dip-buying works when the trend is your friend. Without trend, it's gambling.

๐Ÿ”‘ Key Takeaway
Dip in uptrend = opportunity. Dip in downtrend = danger. Check the trend first.
