    What is Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)?

    डॉलर कॉस्ट एवरेजिंग
    DCA means investing a fixed amount at regular intervals regardless of price. It removes emotion from investing and smooths out volatility over time.

    Full Explanation

    Dollar Cost Averaging is the simplest long-term crypto strategy. Instead of trying to time the market (which almost nobody can do consistently), you invest the same amount every week or month. When prices are high, you buy less crypto. When prices are low, you buy more. Over time, your average purchase price tends to be lower than if you bought everything at once. In India, this is similar to a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) for mutual funds.

    Example

    Investing ₹5,000 in Bitcoin every month for 3 years regardless of whether the market is up or down. Use Fedha Academy's SIP Calculator to model returns.
