From historical perspective retail hasn't even jumped to crypto yet. Despite whatever crypto performs, unless the retail actually starts FOMOing into crypto in general we can not call for the peak mania phase.
That is yet to come.
I don't know if anyone willing to accept, but the harsh reality is that hive is currently a relic.
It shows a typical chart of literal pump and dump.
Based on that I do not try to talk about any kind of price targets for hive at all.
Because the clear thing to see here is that hive will greatly underperform the other altcoins in the market.
The other thing to note is that many existing retail investors are bag holding previous cycle's altcoins. Mostly meme coins, I guess, and not Bitcoin.
And altcoins in general hasn't performed to the level of mania phase as to get the retail asking for "What altcoin should I buy?"
I recently told one of my known about the Bitcoin hitting new all time high and he didn't even knew that. He was only excited to see the interest rates going down and feeling excited about the loan to value ratio in property market.
It is this kind of retail once they know it before you regular crypto people what is the current market price of bitcoin.
That is the time to sell.
Until then, maybe keep DCAing.
