Download the Full Report （PDF）
This report conducts a detailed backtest comparing the investment performance of Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) versus Buy-and-Hold strategies for BTC, ETH, SOL, GT, and their combinations in Gate.io investment products from September 1, 2021, to December 30, 2024. The report uses an example-based approach to demonstrate the calculation steps and core formulas for each strategy, accompanied by data tables for key periods.Key Takeaways
- Price data in this report comes from mainstream data aggregation platforms like CoinMarketCap, using daily closing prices and weighted averages as reference. Prices may vary slightly across different exchanges and platforms—please refer to the original sources for exact data.
- The classification of “bull markets” and “bear markets” contains inherent subjectivity and time delays, as the industry lacks standardized criteria. This report divides market phases by combining mainstream market consensus with observed price trends to provide a more accurate picture of market conditions.
- This report focuses on “data analysis” and does not include visualizations, conclusions, or in-depth interpretations.
- Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) can help average out costs over the long term and reduce timing pressure. Please note that past performance does not indicate future results - this report is for demonstration only and does not constitute investment advice.
- The data in this report belongs to Mia and Gate.io - any citations must credit the source.
