I think, if someone is thinking long term then the exit strategy in the midst of the current bitcoin price correction situation is not a wise choice. I still believe that Bitcoin price movements are still bullish this year along with the increase in investor interest. Therefore, I predict bitcoin is consolidating for a more bullish move forward.
Of course, it is not wise to exit during a bear market, just think about it, you have your chance at $69k and you didn't do it, so why sell it as $40k'ish? it doesn't make sense.
The best strategy is to just hold for long term again, let this bear cycle settled down, it might take 2-3 years though, but if you are really for the long haul here then 2-3 years waiting is nothing. And for sure it will really be rewarding in the future.
That's right as you said when the bear market comes, it's best if we hold back don't let go.
I myself am still holding back that I haven't sold it yet because I was too late to make a decision.
I think last month's decline was a temporary decline as usual so I didn't sell and hold it.
Because I'm also sure that the price will also go up again even though I have to be patient for the next 1 or 2 years.
