Imagine having one bitcoin.
You sell that bitcoin at the current price(around 3800 USD).
Bitcoin crashes again somewhere around Christmass and the price goes down to 1K USD.
You buy 3.8 bitcoins with the dollars you got from the previous sale and you HODL.
In 2019-2020 bitcoin recovers to 10K USD (or maybe reaches 20K ATH).
You have made atleast 38K USD. Grin

I know it's not guaranteed to happen,but hey,this is the Speculation forum,so why not speculate about this.
I think that this is every crypto whale's trading plan for the next 2 years.

Everyone already think of this strategy. But sadly not all are be able to pull this through. You can short now and buy later at a lower price but as you said it is not guaranteed. There is a possible chance that after you sell your 1 Bitcoin the price goes up so that means there is also a possibility you will regret your decision about selling your BTC at this current rate.

Nah, that is not a brilliant idea. That strategy is not worth it if you mean that selling your bitcoin at the lower price and buy when it is high.
But here is the best thing to do is hold your Bitcoin until your profit was there, easy as that we all know that it will back soon the price. This is the right time to buy while the market is down and bitcoin price was up.
