Hey, @bagofincome.
It certainly is possible that there's pre-HIVE hype buying go on. I'm not sure if we'll like all of the reasons why that might be happening, though. :)
Regardless, we might know more as time rolls on as to what was going. Looks like the rest of the market is starting to go green now, too, so maybe there's an actual wave coming. Hope springs eternal I guess. :)
