Even if it rises after you sell you are now waiting it to fall , and short time period it always falls just wait 1-2 months low and buy even if it drops more you basically gained profit. So if you can read some trend moves you can invest mid-term so you dont have to hold for years. If price starts to rise historically then it is time to buy.
what OP describes is not holding but trading semi actively in a regularly short time fluctuating market condition
people who are hodling usually because they're in negative profit and waiting for price to recover
or in another case, they are hodling for believing the price is in the bull run and waiting for the peak price to sell
