Advice on taking profits
Post Body

So I've taken profits on coins before by selling them all and reinvesting my capital back in different coins and then spending the profits on whatever I want to. My strategy, generally, is to hold until I believe I'm close to the top of the bull cycle and then sell everything. However, I've missed out on a ton of unrealized gains, sooooo many times by just holding instead of selling and then buying back during the dips. I'm not gunna make the same mistake again. Basically I own a fairly large bag of Matic. I've been holding since early this year and I'm in a great profit currently. I think it will pump a bit more in the next day or so. I want to take some profit out and then buy back when it dips but I need advice on the best way to do it. So I'm considering either selling my entire bag of Matic, keeping £5k profit for myself, and then eventually reinvesting my original capital plus all my gains(minus £5k.) For example, Matic is currently at £1.86. If it goes to £2, I could sell everything, keep £5k profit and then reinvest the rest back in Matic when it dips back down to £1.86. I'd end up with more Matic than I currently hold, plus I'd have £5k cash. The other option I'm considering is, once it pumps a bit more, sell £5,000 worth of Matic and hold the rest. I'd have £5,000 cash but less Matic. What is the best way tax wise. Bare in mind, I live in the UK so the first £12,300 in capital gains is tax free, anything over that is taxed at 20%. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update I knew I should've sold lol Matic is now down 30% since I posted this. I hope this serves as a reminder that it's good to take profits because, like I said in my original post, there will be many major dips to come. Could've taken out £5,000 cash and bought back with the rest of money and have about 24k more Matic.
