In the past few days, the sense of push for ETH has been very strong. Some people are asking whether to take profits at this position.
If you are a short-term trader, then follow your plan to take profits; if it's time to go, then go. But if you are a long-term investor, things are different - when the market is uncertain, you need to think clearly:
What will you do with the money after selling?
If the funds from the sale are just sitting idle, waiting to 'buy back on a pullback,' then you need to bear a risk:
The price may not come back to your expected level at all and may continue to rise. At that point, will you buy back at a higher price, or completely miss out? This becomes a psychological game.
For long-term holders, unless there is systemic risk or a more certain investment target than ETH, there is no great need to exit easily.
Currently, ETH not only has potential benefits from spot ETF staking, but there are also mid-to-long-term stories like RWA and on-chain brokers that institutions and large funds are already betting on.
So, if you believe in the fundamentals and long-term value of ETH, then continuing to hold during uncertain market conditions may actually be the most stable decision.
Short-term fluctuations are inevitable, but the long-term trend is the reason for your bet.
