trading does have a very high risk, but with such a high risk I prefer trading compared to just holding.
holding not thinking too much about the strategy, they just wait for the price to go up to sell the tokens they have.
This depends on the individual if they have time to do trading. Trading requires time, patience, and determination in order to at least render it profitable. With HODL, you can focus on different/prioritize on different things while making time doing its thing.
The problem with HODL, you do not have the capacity to speculate or read about the market situation in order to maximize the profits. You are only letting time do its work and sell your investments if its price is beyond the initial acquired price.
With trading, you can study the external and internal market factors to reach a conclusion to your next financial decision. It involves a series of technical analysis and speculation unlike HODL.
Hold and trading should be always with risk management because both different way has potential to offer good profit but also with the same high risk. Both way only good to do when crypto oversold just like current situation. We should be also have target profit for each way and avoid greedy.
Before buying it is best to determine the price to sell because this market we cannot predict anything and if Bitcoin turns red then all other altcoin will be red. Currently, Bitcoin has shown great stability in the last 7 weeks and it is likely that we will soon see red in this market, so consider selling before it's too late.
The market is very unpredictable. There exist no direct or inverse proportional relationship among cryptocurrencies as it all depends on the market. If you were to trade, it is advisable to focus into one coin alone and extensively do your research about the said coin.
