This morning I saw an article where a guy made a simple calculation through Google trends about HODL strategy, and it showed that call to HODL used less and less from February of 2018. Popularity of word Bitcoin and crypto currency is also falling down.

Is it not a normal thing to see people's interest dwindle a little bit in occasions like this? Psychologically since a lot of people got greedy, got FOMOlyzed and then believed that bitcoin is going to get to $1million overnight, the whole idea of HODL came into play and now they just cannot wait to break even and sell which I believe a lot of people are going to be doing and then the cycle will just continue that way until they come back joining FOMO again in the future.

HODL is investor strategy form long therm, a trader will trade if they already have profit.

If you differentiate investors and traders in terms how long they do hold their position then you sound right. But, we must remember both are into their action for the hunting of profits hence investors may buy and sell once (or multiple times but definitely in less frequency) whereas might do almost everyday. But, for both of them, holding will definitely work out.
