Someone probably bought a large amount at a market order for the liquidity available and popped the price or could be pump and dump group or some sort of new normalisation of the price after the price suppression for the past while. Someone might be giving up their efforts.
I can see it coming back down to 0.13-0.15 before today is over. Long term I'm bullish on the platform, decided to end my delegation for daily suncoin income on suncoin.com and will move some more money into hive platform over the next few weeks. If hive price went down below suncoin again I'd be able to buy more but I don't mind either way.

all hivers are very happy because of the price increase of the Hive, hopefully the price can go up even more in the future.
