Is it smart to sell my profit and buy back later to increase my share count?

I have a Trading 212 pie with multiple stocks and it’s currently doing well (+11.32% overall). I’m up about €423 in profit right now.

I was thinking about selling just the profit part (so not my original investment) and then buying back later during a dip, since the market has been dropping for a few days in a row.

The stocks in this pie are:

Kioxia @ 20% Western Digital @ 15% Sandisk @ 12,5% Seagate @ 12,5% AMD @ 10% Micron tech @ 10% SK Hynix @ 10% IonQ @ 5% Samsung @ 5%
