What 2024 actually was: at all-time highs
Starting DCA in 2024 means buying at or near all-time highs across most major indexes. History says this still works out fine on a 10-15 year horizon, but the first few years can feel discouraging if a correction arrives. The schedule is the strategy. Future buyers in 2025 and beyond will likely thank a 2024 starter for sticking with it.
For a Ethereum DCA buyer who started January 2024 with $500 a month, the schedule pulled in 31 purchases through 2026-07-15. Total invested: $15,500. Final value: $11,046. That works out to an annualized return of -24.45% per year on the irregular cashflow series.
The numbers above use adjusted closing prices (dividends reinvested, splits applied) and apply a T+1 policy: when the 1st of the month landed on a weekend or holiday, the trade executed at the next trading day's close. Bitcoin pages execute on the exact scheduled date because crypto trades 24/7.
