Anyone who invests in crypto has asked: 'When should I sell?' Some say just HODL forever, others surf every hour. But the truth is: there is no one-size-fits-all formula.

However, I will share how professional investors decide when to hold, when to sell — so you don’t watch your profits evaporate. 👇

🔥 3 COIN HOLDING STRATEGIES THAT PROS OFTEN USE

1️⃣ Short term (A few days to a few weeks) – Move quickly, high risk ⚡

This is a type of surf trading – quick profits, no love for the coin!

✅ Focus on coins with strong upward momentum, trending, or hot news (meme coins, AI coins, narrative coins).

✅ Must have clear entry and exit points – don’t hold 'to see what happens'.

✅ For example: I once surfed $SOL from $140 to $185 in a few weeks. Always take profits, no regrets.

❌ Mistake: Turning a surf trading order into 'long-term holding coins'… then getting stuck at the peak.

2️⃣ Mid term (A few months to 1 year) – Catch major trends 📈

This is where breakthrough profits are made.

✅ Choose altcoins with solid foundations, clear potential (like $SOL, $BNB, ADA, etc.).

✅ Understand market cycles – Bull markets usually last 1-2 years, but bear markets can 'blow away' altcoins by 80%+.

✅ For example: Buy ADA at $0.3, sell at $1.2 after a few months – x4 your account.

❌ Mistake: Holding altcoins throughout the bear market – most will not recover.

3️⃣ Long term (Many years) – Go big, change your life 💎

Holding long-term with Bitcoin and Ethereum is the safest strategy.

✅ BTC and ETH have survived every market crash – while thousands of altcoins have 'disappeared'.

✅ History shows: BTC reaches a new peak every cycle (about every 4 years).

✅ For example: Buy BTC in 2017 at $3K, hold until 2021, sell at $69K – no further explanation needed!

❌ Mistake: Just holding all coins long term – many coins will never return to their previous peaks.

🔍 CONCLUSION FOR YOU

  • 🚀 Short term: play the hype, surf the waves

  • 📈 Mid term: follow the trend, ride the cycle

  • 💎 Long term: only hold BTC & ETH
