Is it time to buy Bitcoin in AUD or wait for a dip?

Trading at $175.707,69 AUD, +6.37% over the previous one-month trading window, crypto experts are predicting a dip.

Minimal movement over the last 5 days pushed BTC down 0.77%.

Read on for our opinion on whether to buy Bitcoin now or wait for a dip.

Buying Bitcoin in AUD Now

With BTC sitting around $175.700 AUD, hesitation is natural.

But waiting for the perfect dip can be just as risky. You blink, and the price moves.

If you believe in Bitcoin as a long-term store of value, today’s price may still look cheap in five years.

Bitcoin is an excellent asset exposure that fits most diversified portfolios.

Even if Bitcoin dips, stocks, shares, and bonds can offset the drop.

Long-term holders often choose the dollar-cost average.

It's an excellent investment strategy involving investing capital into smaller increments, making several purchases over an extended period.

The strategy avoids the stress of highs and lows.

But remember that Bitcoin is not like stocks.

It’s not tied to company profits. It moves with global sentiment, adoption, regulation, and macro shifts.

If you’re not sure, you can speak with a crypto advisor.

Is a Bitcoin Dip Coming?

BTC is testing critical support.

It’s bouncing off the 50-day exponential moving average, often acting as a launchpad.

Back in June, the same level sparked a 25% rally.

Some analysts say it’s setting up for another price increase.

They call the recent drop a "perfect bottom," forming the base for a move toward $148,000 or even $150,000 (USD) by October.

There’s technical logic behind it.

Bitcoin just pulled back to retest the neckline of an inverted head-and-shoulders pattern.

It’s a technical analysis formation on a price chart that signals a potential trend reversal.

It typically consists of an uptrend to a downtrend. Characterized by a peak (the "head") flanked by two lower peaks (the "shoulders"), with a "neckline" connecting the lows, it's easy to spot.

And it's a classic signal of trend reversal. When the neckline holds, momentum builds.

Others are watching whale movements.

A recent sell-off of 80,000 BTC by an early whale investor mirrors previous cycles.

These big profit waves often lead to a period of cooling, then fresh accumulation, then another breakout.

Some believe this is just that — a pause before the climb.

Waiting for a deeper correction that may never come isn't always advisable.

The $110K–$112K (USD) zone could be as low as it gets short-term.

And if history repeats, this could be the last time BTC touches these levels before setting new records.

The Bitcoin Market Sentiment

Markets move on math and emotion.

Sentiment tools such as the Crypto Fear, a proprietary tool developed by CoinMarketCap that measures the sentiment in the cryptocurrency market, are excellent metrics.

The index is now sitting at 62 — neutral.

Two weeks ago (07/28), it was 74 — greedy.

That tells us the market has cooled slightly, but not collapsed.

Investors are cautious, not panicked.

This matches the price action.

Bitcoin has dipped but held key levels.

It’s trading sideways, a market or security price moving within a relatively narrow, horizontal range for an extended period.

BTC has been doing that for the majority of 2025 (minus the Trump-fuelled dip), which often happens before the next surge.

ETF flows have also slowed as institutional ETF demand drops.

As a result, BTC bounced off support levels at $112,000.

Technical resistance, a price point or zone where selling interest often emerges, at points 120800.

Looking at the technical charts, BTC is forming a bear flag, with options implied volatility potentially falling to multi-year lows.

So, yes, we're in a dip.

If the index swings back to greed, expect momentum to build fast.

If it turns to fear, prices may dip slightly further, offering a last-minute entry.

2025 Bitcoin Forecast

Price forecasts for Bitcoin in 2025 remain bullish overall, with short-term noise in the background.

From our research of multiple cryptocurrency price prediction resources, here's the outlook:

The market expects a slight dip in September to $112,053.72.

By October, the forecast shows growth, with a possible top of $117,549.

That lines up with technical charts.

And with rising institutional demand (although we are in the cooling period), the pieces are falling into place.

Zooming out, things get even more compelling for an investment:

These numbers come from models that consider adoption, scarcity, and macro trends.

Institutions are still buying.

ETFs are growing, regulation is maturing, and supply is capped.

And Trump’s administration continues to lean pro-crypto.

New legislation in the US and MiCA in Europe both push adoption forward.

If you're investing for the next bull cycle, the signs are pointing to yes.

If you want a safer entry, you can wait for a retest of the $110K level.

The time to buy might not be perfect.

But it might be now.

Bitcoin is showing all the signals of a bear run, dipping slightly and potentially creating the perfect investment opportunity.
