I think there doesn't seem to be a clear answer whether you should HODL or trade NFT tokens. Sure, it would be best if you could do both and maximize your investment, but that's easier said than done. Perhaps trading is a smarter choice if you are trying to cash out sooner rather than later but HODL might be a better choice if you are looking at the long-term future for NFT tokens.
I think you should consider holding NFT for long term because the NFT hype will end anytime if the community wants to raise a new trend to support the market recovery, because after the bear market ends maybe the market will enter a new hype in the recovery period until the end of the year.
