HODL is the best when you are at loss, always keep in your mind that you will lose only when you sell, but if you HODL that to sell at loss, it is still the best, you are still winner. For me, HODL is really the best specially when you bought so many coins.
Thats right if the market conditions deteriorate and you don't want to panic and sell, then to avoid loss is dont to enter the market
and see the bleak market conditions, hold it for the next few months, I'm sure it can avoid you from losing
