I think that a professional trader will not ask such a question. For a person who trades every day for many months in a row, this is not a problem. He will continue to do this because a bear market is also a good time to make money.
The guy is the newbie. He was just going to get the help of the professional traders and the people with the experience. I think the beginners should hold now, not trade.
But if he can do analyze, then he can continue choosing the right coin, although it's difficult. But stop trading, for now, is better than to analyze which will need time before he can find the right coin. It is up to him and only he that will know. But for me, it is a good time to buy another coin which has a chance to increase later but be careful for this.
