HODL only works in bull season or if you invest for a long time. But you can earn good amount of money in a bearish market if you make day trading.
right ! You can only hold and invest long-term when the market is in uptrend, but the current market is bearish in the long term, so to be able to profit with the lowest risk, you only should invest short and day trading. Always have a plan and follow the plan and I believe you will succeed.
