Abstract generation in progress

Many people ask: "When should I exit an order?" Some say HODL forever, while others scalp daily. But the truth is: there is no one-size-fits-all formula. Let's explore 3 coin holding strategies of the "pros" so that you don't miss opportunities and also don't end up with an empty wallet! 👇 1️⃣ Short Term (A Few Days – A Few Weeks) ⚡ Objective: Take advantage of waves, lock in profits quickly – high risk but many opportunities. Follow the trends & hot news: meme coins, new narratives, AI projects, GameFi... Set clear entry/exit points: buy limit, sell limit. Don't hold "just in case". Practical example: Buy SOL at $140, sell at $185 in 2 weeks → profit ~32% ✅

⚠️ Common mistake: Holding short orders for too long, turning scalping orders into... "bags"! 2️⃣ Medium Term (A Few Months – 1 Year) 📈 Objective: Catch the big trend - beautiful profit, reduced risk. Choose a quality altcoin: SOL, BNB, ADA, or a project with a clear roadmap. Follow the market cycle: Bull market: lasts 12–24 monthsBear market: can retest the bottom – altcoins usually fall by 70–90%Real-world example: Buy ADA at $0.30, sell at $1.20 after 4–5 months → 4x ✅ profit

⚠️ Common mistake: Holding onto altcoins throughout the bear market and not cutting losses in time. 3️⃣ Long Term (Many Years) 💎 Objective: Build sustainable assets, retain the "backbone" of the market. BTC & ETH priority: two "blue chips" that have survived every crash. History repeats every ~4 years:BTC: from $3K (2017) → $69K (2021)ETH: from $8 (2016) → $4K+ (2021)Phương "Buy and HODL": Buy in installments according to DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging)Không interest daily volatility

⚠️ Common mistake: Putting everything into long-term altcoins without diversifying. 🔍 Summary of "Plan & Execute": 🚀 Short term: for those who like to take risks, take advantage of the hype waves.📈 Medium term: take profit according to the cycle, moderate risk.💎 Long term: hold BTC & ETH, focus on core value.

🛑 The final secret: No plan = Gambling. Set goals, manage risks, and adhere to discipline.
