Cash App Launches 'Buy The Dip' Feature: Could This Continue Square's Huge Growth?

One of the rallying cries for retail investors in 2021 has been to “buy the dip.” The popular phrase centers around adding to a position or starting a new position in a stock or cryptocurrency when a significant drop happens.

Cash App has a series of new custom orders that include a “buy the dip” feature.

What Happened: Cash App, a service from Square Inc SQ, is allowing users to time dips and automatically buy and sell Bitcoin BTC/USD and stocks at future prices, according to Bitcoin Magazine.

Custom purchase orders can be automatically triggered based on the price of a stock or crypto according to the Cash App website.

“Buy the Dip” offers customers the chance to set a buy price below the current price to try and buy the stock if the price drops, according to Cash App. The order is not a limit order and not a price guarantee. Funds for the transaction will be set aside from the current Cash App balance.

Other custom order types offered by Cash App include capture gains, limit losses and buy the rally.
