Hello everyone!

As usual, in this Saturday Savers update, I’ll be sharing my weekly progress. In Week 17, the crypto market showed some interesting movements. After HIVE reached $0.24 last week, it has now climbed slightly to $0.25. The price of HIVE remains volatile, but this presents opportunities for those who bought in at lower prices in previous weeks.

As for me, I sold a portion of my HIVE for USDT due to some urgent real-world needs. However, I’m still closely monitoring the market, as this positive trend hints at the potential for further growth. It’s not just HIVE — the entire crypto market is currently in a recovery phase, especially after Bitcoin broke above $93,000 USD.

## 📈 Goal 1: 7500 Hive Power
- **Progress last week:** 4497 HP  
- **Progress this week:** 4585 HP  
- **Increase:** 88 HP  
- **Weekly target:** at least 76 HP

**Factors Influencing Progress:**  
This week’s gain feels better than last week’s. Several of my posts used 100% power-up for payouts, which immediately boosted my Hive Power. Even though I converted some HIVE into HBD and used it, there’s still some HBD sitting in my wallet waiting for the right moment to be converted into Hive Power — possibly during the next Hive Power Up Day. If I decide to convert that HBD soon, my HP gain might even surpass my initial target.

**Reflection on Target:**  
Progress remains on track toward my weekly goal. With this week's addition, I'm feeling quite confident about getting closer to my annual goal. Choosing to do 100% power-ups on some posts has definitely helped maintain steady HP growth.

## 🛡️ Goal 2: 25,000 SPS
- **Progress last week:** 18,295 SPS  
- **Progress this week:** 18,445 SPS  
- **Increase:** 150 SPS  
- **Weekly target:** at least 180 SPS

**Driving Factors:**  
Even though I stayed consistent with daily battles in Splinterlands, my SPS gain fell slightly short of the weekly target. The SPS price, which had recently climbed, is now stabilizing around $0.0102. Still, my enthusiasm for farming SPS remains strong. I continue to grind for SPS in the Gold league, even though I’m now playing in the Diamond league. With the upcoming new mode changes (Chaos cards being moved to Wild), it’s still uncertain how rewards will be affected.

**Reflection on Target:**  
SPS accumulation is still progressing, even though this week's gain was slightly below target. Hopefully, the reward pool remains healthy, especially with many updates on the horizon for Splinterlands.

## 🚀 Specific Challenges
Right now, my biggest challenge is managing HIVE accumulation while the price is strengthening. Higher prices naturally make power-ups feel "more expensive" compared to when HIVE was cheaper. I also need to be wise about deciding whether to convert my HBD into HIVE now or hold and wait. I still believe that within the next few months, HIVE could stabilize around $0.30 or higher.

## 📚 Additional Plans
I plan to continue analyzing SPS price movements. Hopefully, the new features in Splinterlands will help sustain or even boost the SPS price. Innovation and updates are crucial for driving growth — both for the game and the HIVE ecosystem as a whole.
