I am halting powering down for the moment. I have 2k Hive liquid which is available for the flexibility of having it on hand.

I want another 3k when the time comes which at my size should take around 7 weeks to do when the time comes.

In reality, with laddering, there is never a sell or a buy at 5k total. Realistically it will be AS the funds are available.

I have 5.7k stake now 97% of a Dolphin. I am just going to work my way back into it and go from there. I think that is pretty sound moves?

Indeed. Keeping an amount liquid for the right time seems to be an apt approach.
