Holding Avalanche vs day trading Avalanche
Holding Avalanche generally means buying and keeping it for the longer term, in the expectation that its value may rise over time.
Day trading Avalanche means buying and selling over short timeframes, often within the same day, to try to profit from price volatility. It takes more time, skill and risk management, as the results depend heavily on timing and market swings.
