You have to understand clearly what does HODL Means! There has a proverb like this " HODL is Gold" If you want to make money through trade then you have two options! If you are a good trader then Trade lively and don't HODL but if you aren't enough good in live trading or if you haven't much time to do this then You may HODL for a long time. HODL means isn't like that you are holding coins then after two days later you will see price increases then if you go for sale then that is not HODL Actually.
Just hodl your coins and forget about reent market . You may make good money after a few months later when the market will stabilize. Good Luck
