buy the dip
Purchase discounted assets
Buy the dip is investor slang for purchasing an asset after its price has fallen, on the expectation it will recover: The stock dropped 15% so I bought the dip.
The strategy assumes temporary decline rather than permanent collapse.
It became a rallying cry in cryptocurrency and meme-stock communities, sometimes used ironically when prices keep falling.
