However, they have no intention of selling as they believe the price will eventually go up. In any market, there are different types of investors with different approaches. Hodling is also an approach and a very effective one. However, not all investors become hodlers for the same reason. This means that most of them do not necessarily have a plan.

To analyze this, let us discover the types of Bitcoin (BTC) hodlers.
Break Even HodlersThese are hodlers who have been so annoyed by the bear trend that they do not want anything to do with cryptocurrencies. They just want Bitcoin (BTC) to reach close to the price they bought at, so they can sell and break even. Most such hodlers are those who entered the market exactly around $17,000 or higher. They did not see the market cycles of 2015 or 2016. To them, the gains are not worth the wait. So, they will break even, take their money and go somewhere else. Some of them may even buy again later at higher prices to make the same mistake again.
Break even hodlers see Bitcoin (BTC) in terms of dollar value. In other words, they are investing in Bitcoin (BTC) but they consider fiat as the standard.

So, they will have different price points in mind where they would want o sell. However, selling too early or too late will be a pressure in itself. Imagine an investor getting out at $25,000 only to see Bitcoin (BTC) climbing to $50,000 soon afterwards. Similarly, imagine an investor who refuses to sell at $70,000 only to see Bitcoin (BTC) falling back to $50,000 soon afterwards. These events will happen.
