Nothing like some good old FOMO
So I have to admit, the Hive CEX whales are hard to predict. They just randomly pump HIVE by like 50% like it is nothing. Just some days ago we were sitting at rank 550+ and are now back over one hundred places at #422 with a MC of 46M.
Volume is up by 1000% with 17M, although the big caveat is that CMC does not include Upbit's volume for some reason. Upbit itself has 18M... so that puts us to 35M which is like 76% of our entire MC.
Of course the unpredictability is only partly true, since we have known for years that the whales almost always pump Hive at 00:00 UTC! Why? Who knows... But this time is no exception.
The candle itself is preposterous, but nothing we haven't seen before. It's a solid candle - the one we have seen that signals trend change. It happened in 2021 and 2025. Volume overall is actually still low (red box). However, we still have some days left in the week and it's clear that it's still a biggy.
Time to Sell?
Generally speaking, these pumps have always been good for selling. Personally, I just sold a ton of SPS for Hive, but used it to buy RUJI... seems like I always just miss the opportunity.
Anyway, if you have some spare Hive lying around, it might actually be a good idea to sell some (if you can resist the FOMO). But if this is really a trend change, it might also be quite risky...
The bottom line, I suppose, is that HIVE hasn't been forgotten by the big players. While we know that they are only in it for profits, pumps like this do have a tendency to revive the hype and ecosystem as well as the activity.
As a general reminder: Please keep in mind that none of this is official investment advice! Crypto trading entails a great deal of risk; never spend money that you can't afford to lose!

We’ve talked charts for years, bro you know I love your posts. But this one looks like pure sentiment to me.
Structurally I think this is just an exit pump, same pattern we saw last bear, 150–200% moves before new lows. ENJ, ORDI, HIGH all did the exact same thing in April.
If HIVE mirrors them, maybe we tag the Oct ’25 candle top before the real bleed. Great place to sell a bit and reload lower.
I was lucky and caught the move the day before, but the weekly was screaming for a bounce, and BTC confirmed it with the breakout.😊
I talked about this exit‑pump setup already in my PUD post and the deviation follow‑up, so structurally this move wasn’t a surprise:

Imo HIVE still has a long way to go in the bigger cycle.
Yes these pumps should always be sold into. But getting 650M Hive daily volume is no small deal to me. This has so far always triggered a larger macro trend change. We'll see in a couple of weeks if it was just a fluke I guess
who's buying?
@ruggbby13
The pump is massive good news
Hive down again 😭
it's perfectly normal - always happens, but I think we are in a trend change overall
Perfect time to sell Hive and Buy Bitcoin
why are you even here? :D
Like you said ….
Buy Low. Sell High ….
Enjoy Life !
Upbit volume > CMC
I was also surprised with the sudden pump on Hive
