Does anyone know a service that can email/text you when Bitcoin drops x%? I'm thinking DCA most the time but save the 'extra' for times when the market dips.

I think there are a bunch of apps that can do that. I've never used them as I think you need to pay for the price alerts

You can use If-This-Then-That to setup that kind of thing.
They have the price of Bitcoin available and they can send SMS and email.

I don't use cashapp to buy bitcoin, but i have it anyway cause its the best out of those kind of apps. They have push alerts if it moves more than 5% that pop up for me. (I think cashapp might be US only though)

Aren't there apps that allow you to DCA extra if a dip triggers it?

I just signed up for Swan, never got OKCoin and Amber to work with my bank...Most of my transactions are with Strike. I haven't seen that option to buy extra.
Also thank you x1000 @K00b for SN and all the work you do!

I also signed up for Swan but then I realized they only work with US banks. I am in Europe :(

Couldn't you just leave a standing limit buy order? (assuming you have fiat balance).
There are quite a few exchanges now that offer DCA, but as far as if any do this type of a limit order, I wouldn't know without researching each. The following blog post has a list of exchanges with DCA:
