Have you ever felt cold on a sunny day or on the other hand, sweating inside a fully air conditioned room? The former could be a described situation in which you have a fever and your temperature went against the odds and the latter could be you are in a hot seat. A defense hall, an interview or worse to add, an interrogation.
Maybe I will flow with the most scary of them ALL, it seems the financial market is undergoing some form of market interrogations. This is one of those times where everyone is interested in the most sustainable news. I saw my overall Hive wallet balance slacking and I knew something was up. While we keep awaiting a stamina position, Oops!!! We go again.
Let's just look at the current situation of Hive and the entire financial markets. Can 2026 be the year where the bears won it all?. We are seeing this seem so from the first day of this year. As we speak Bitcoin is trading at a 50% market decline from October till date.

Before getting there, how about Hive? The chart above is not price tracking encouraging. Hive has been down the lane for the past 365 days. From $0.34 cents to $0.062 cents; this is my first time seeing Hive trade within this price mark. All my market predictions for 365 days had been completely altered and well, you know what that means.
I went through some articles lately and some are predicting a stamina position around $0.05 cents. Can it be a good position to enter for more?. Having a reasonable stake can be very lucrative in the long run when the market begins to switch direction. Ok, this is such a story that is difficult to endure when your stakes lose price value right in your face.
And we can say, Fiat price has been one of the big disadvantages that entangles cryptoverse and decentralization. Just consider how it would have been if all concerns were to just hold your Hive without external price pairing. It gets difficult to resolve this anyway because in the end, every transaction needs a backend or landing page and it boils back to centralized hands.

Turning to Bitcoin, on October 6, 2025, it was trading above $126K. Predictions were out about a rally to $500K soon. Many analysis here and there to make every predictions rhyme but here we are; nearly 50% has faded between that time of predictions and NOW.
The financial market remains one dangerous ground to trade more than one can afford to lose. altcoins have followed suit and that's one reason Hive has been on that bad decline since. Anyway there are other factors to also look at in-between. The big one is, the cryptoverse is Bitcoin dependent and until this norm is properly dealt with, it remains very difficult for altcoins to thrive.
To conclude, let me add, as for Bitcoin itself, it has that bounce back hopes. It has been a TOP notch project and as it stands, a big opportunity for the big names and firms to gather as much as possible during this sales pressure.
Turning to Hive, we await any chances of revival. This is where we all have to admit that the future of crypto tunes the direction of utility that drives revenue. What next moves can turn this entire ecosystem around, it's left for us to do that brain cracking. Anyway, brain cracking is just a part of the entire story.
