Should I pull short term funds from Bitcoin or Ethereum if I plan to rebuy in 3-4 months?

Hey everyone,

I could use some outside perspective.

I need to pull some cash out of my crypto portfolio for a short-term need (roughly 3-4 months), but I fully intend to reinvest the money back in after that.

Most of my holdings are in bc and eth, and I'm trying to decide which one makes more sense to sell from.

My initial thought process:

Bitcoin feels like the more "stable" long term store of value while Eth has more upside potential but also more volatility.

I am thinking I could just pull from one and then re-enter later using a dollar-cost averaging approach.

So my question is:

If you had to temporarily exit one position for a few months, would you pull from btc or eth and why?

Also open to hearing if this is just a bad idea altogether and I should approach it differently.

Appreciate any insight.
