In my opinion you have to keep a balance between long term investments and smart short time investments that leads to profits. It all depends on the project type whether it's investable for the long term or a short term for profits.

Some projects might be out of trend but mostly we can have a ideas whether it's a long term investable project or a short term.Market research is very important and following the trends is also very necessary you need to have bulls eye to get profits in crypto because you never know what the market is up to in next minutes.
