Wow that's some solid retrospective TA and wisdom to help with navigating the current cycle. It seems Hive token value gets kicked around so much by the trends of the other tokens on their downswings. I have bought in a few times on this downswing and now I am just waiting to see if it pays off quickly or I have again missed that last pulse down. It all comes out winning in the end but another phase down due to the goofiness in world finance right now makes me think it will be a while til sentiment reverses but we will see.
In the meantime, might as well power up a little as these seemingly lower reward author efforts magically turn into more value to the stake later so it is like deferred earnings. then remember how much of a gift this discount Hive is later on when it bounces back. I am leaving my Hive stake where it is!
Thanks for the thoughtful comment — and you're right, Hive often gets dragged around by broader market flows. We're still early in the larger structure, and historically Hive has needed several bullish divergences before a real cycle reversal sticks. If the roadmap repeats, the major bottom is still ahead, not behind us.
Accumulating on value zones and powering up during these phases has usually paid off over the long arc, but the real sentiment shift only comes once Hive breaks above the key levels again. Until then, it's patience and positioning.
