I will advice to hold your altcoin and be patience, and when the price gets high and if you think that you can get much gain to sell your coins so sell your coins.
$1000 is the price low price, I don't think that Bitcoin will come on this price, know Bitcoin is going to be down and down but it is impossible to come $1000, it can down $2500 .
Certainly its a very good time to purchase a coins in crypto market, the price of Ethereum and bitcoin are very good to buy in this market. I don't think that these coins will come again on this price.
It is not a solution to leave the market, If you want to see some new so just continue stay in the market. I know that some person have also quit the market but it is not right decision so just be patience.
