Feb 01st 2011 20:54 hold continue deference

Hello.
Let me ask somebody how to use the term hold and continue.

Which of the sentence sounds better for you?
1. Moore's Law will hold for a while.
2. Moore's Law will continue for a while.

I can't find the deference between the two words, and there is probably no meaning deference in this case. So, if you 'feel' something, I really would like to know that.

Thanks in advance. :)
