If you bought in recently, then sell. The only people with a valid reason to hold on at this point are people who owned it at $100+. They should have sold Thursday, but they didn't and realistically they're down so far they may as well hold on for a miracle. The rest of the people buying over the last few days bought into a dead bank walking, and will lose unnecessarily... banks don't recover from lack of confidence.
Honestly, you could have burnt the cash for warmth. At least that would be a "return." The bank has 13B in tangible book value and 160B+ in deposit liabilities. If these facts confuse you or don't seem problematic, then buying equity in a bank was not the right sandbox. Truly, you should sell that back if you can tomorrow and buy VOO or VTI.
