I find that many people have a habit of holding ETH, BTC, altcoin for a long time and always hoping that it will rise again. If you are a trader, you will lose money for that. Set small target and sell them when you see profits. I only need 3-5% profit when trading.
If you see the market going down, stop loss before it's too late. You may lose 5-10% of the capital but when the market goes down you can buy more btc, eth when you hold btc, eth, altcoin.
Sell all ETH, BTC into Stable Coin when the market goes down
I think this perfectly works in a bear period. Everything is under uncertainty so you are much safer if you sold early after seeing it dropping between 3%-5% in a day. The price will always go down after gaining because the major sentiment of traders on that period will always be negative.
