Airdrops are meant to be sold, but there can be exceptions. And there are a few ways to identify these exceptions.
If an airdrop wasn’t heavily farmed, people are less likely to sell it right away they think, “It came out of nowhere, I can afford to take a risk” (like with TIA, DOG, etc.). But if it was farmed, then the duration of the farming becomes important. For projects that were farmed over a long period, people tend to sell quickly once they receive the tokens.
Another factor is how many people received the airdrop. The more recipients there are, the more sellers there will be, which creates pressure on others to sell too.
In short, if a project wasn’t farmed, or was only farmed for a short time, and if the number of recipients is relatively low then it’s more likely that people will choose to hold rather than sell.
