Its right now better to hold your bitcoin for the price increases that will come soon or later, maybe it will occur this year or maybe a bit later but it will come without any doubt.
I think that the bitcoin has a great future too so that is pretty nice.
It's good that you plan to hodl a bit longer onto your coins, but there is nothing wrong with also taking advantage of short term fluctuations alongside your other investment.
It's basically a win win situation. Especially in the times where the price doesn't go up at all, even though you were expecting it to do so.
Then you have at least made your profits from your short term trading sessions. Always think further.
