Hive (HIVE/USD) has spiked nearly 18% in the last 24 hours, pushing its 7-day gains well above 70%. The Delegated Proof of Stake blockchain ecosystem also witnessed a volume spike of more than 70% driving its market capitalisation above $645 million.

Should you bet on the bull run?

From an investment perspective, Hive offers an exciting opportunity for investors targeting a blockchain-driven IoT market. And with companies continuously investing in data and information gathering and analytics tools, its long-term outlook seems exciting.

Therefore, although HIVE/USD is up more than 100% in the last 30 days, it may not be too late to buy the utility token of the DPoS protocol-based blockchain ecosystem.

Therefore, investors could target technical pullbacks at about $1.50, or lower at $1.28. However, those willing to overlook the short-term turbulence for long-term gains could also target extended gains at about $1.82, or higher at $2.01.

In summary, HIVE still looks like an exciting buy despite the recent rally.
