How do you time DCA buys in a volatile market?

Timing DCA buys in a volatile market means setting a fixed schedule and amount in advance, rather than trying to predict the bottom. Dollar-cost averaging works by buying the same rupee amount at regular intervals, so you acquire more units when prices fall and fewer when they rise, smoothing your average cost. For example, investing 5,000 rupees weekly buys more during a dip and less during a rally, without any market call. The discipline is the point: a consistent cadence removes the timing decision that volatility makes so difficult. A documented, rules-based approach is how Qatobit structures its index products, including a Crypto SIP. See the methodology.
