Privacy coins have recently been making headlines again. PIVX, this old project, stands for "Private Instant Verified Transactions." Over the years, it has been quietly working behind the scenes, mainly providing users with optional privacy transaction capabilities through the SHIELD protocol. It adopts a hybrid model of masternodes and proof of stake, which is somewhat distinctive among PoS projects.

What needs to be said here is that after more than 7 years of a prolonged downtrend, recent technical signals for PIVX have started to show some interesting signs. On the weekly chart, it appears to be forming a bottom reversal pattern. Momentum indicators like RSI, which had been heavily suppressed, are now recovering from oversold zones, often indicating that selling pressure may be waning.

From an ecosystem perspective, PIVX has been very active in 2025. Social media followers have surpassed 500,000, daily community interactions have increased by 30%, and on-chain active addresses surged at the beginning of the year. These data points, in a project that has long been neglected, reveal some positive signals.

If you want to follow this opportunity, the technical analysis suggests the following: consider building positions in the $0.125 to $0.140 range. For targets, the first phase aims for $0.180 to $0.200, the second phase targets $0.250 to $0.280 (close to recent high points), and if enthusiasm continues, $0.350+ is not impossible. However, stop-loss should be disciplined and set below $0.118.

Of course, turning around an old project is never easy, and whether it can truly break through depends on subsequent technical breakthroughs and ecosystem development. Whether this reversal signal is a genuine turning point or just a rebound trap in a long-term downtrend, only time will tell.
