Hold will not easy, but I am sure we can hold bitcoin this time. Before the price increase so high and back to above $60k and break the barrier and still increase, maybe a correction like this will be necessary to get more supports. The early people involved in bitcoin will not panic if they see the drop of bitcoin price because they can buy back more bitcoin at once or make many orders buy at a lower price.
I do holding for some reason but if I find that there is only a little chance for the market to recover in a shorter time, I don't hesitate to sell it instead. I might sure if this is a smart idea but looking into that particular situation, I think that is the safest way.
That will need more analysis to find the market can recover quickly or stay like that for some time. Yes, that is why we always need to analyze to know or predict how the market will move to determine what we should do. Maybe we can always get the right analysis but at least, we can do something related to the current situations in the market.
This situation is only temporary, and people do not have to worry about this because sooner or later, the price will start the rally and who knows, the next rally will bring more chance for bitcoin to back to $60k and make a new ATH.
I hope as well but can't ignore such possibility for the market to face again for a long bearish season. I can't simply forget about the last 2017 and that is the reason why I decided to sell, not to hold.
We need to analyze every possibility of moves for the market, including if the market still moves for a long bearish season, as you said. Yes, I can not even forget about what was happening in 2017-2018 because almost all of my coins drop to the lowest price. But I already take my profit by selling the coin.
