The Bitcoin Ahr999 index has increased to 0.79, which is above the support level of 0.45 but below that of 1.2. This shows that the short-term trend becomes strong, but the long-term trend is still a bear market. Therefore, It is not recommended to buy the dip in batches. However, purchasing small amounts through dollar-cost averaging (DCA) may be a viable strategy. 

Based on the above analysis, the market has become optimistic with a stable price trend. Therefore, we recommend periodically buying with a fixed amount and selling them gradually as the market rises.
