Does buying the dip help?
Dip-Catcher DCA
Buys $40 extra whenever BTC is down 5% or more in 24h — at most once a day.
When the price of BTC updates, if 24h change <= −5% and fired < 1× per 24h → buy 40 USDT of BTC (market).

Fee-Window DCA
Buys $20 only while the next-block fee is under 8 sat/vB — on-chain state gating an exchange order, so your post-buy withdrawal lands in the cheap window too.
When the fee estimate changes, if next-block fee < 8 sat/vB and fired < 5× per 7d → buy 20 USDT of BTC (market).

Jul 2025 – Jun 2026: fires averaged 1.64 sat/vB vs 1.58 sat/vB over the window — fees sat near the floor, so ≈ nothing to save. Published anyway; that's the norm here.
