Guys , where’s the dip that was promised ?

I mean, before halving , historically there is a dip of 30-40% . All I can see is couple of thousands, back & forth. How can an average person buy bitcoin at these price ranges. Should I average in my whole salary & become the exit liquidity. All suggestions are invited. Hope we maintain the respect & the safe space this forum provides. This is one of the few forums where we have productive discussions across the board in reddit
