There are suggestions to trade if looking for profits during this period. How and what to do to ensure maximum profits?
Or is it better to invest in top coins and play safe?
P.S.: Though honestly, I don't think anything is safe anyways.
Hold is only the key! If you hold your coins during the bear market, you can prevent for a great loss. However, this can be done only by the long term hodlers. If you are exhausted with your capital, definitely you will sell it in a lower price. But if you want to defeat the bear market, hold it for a while till the market gradually recovers.
