I use to think that there was a correlation between the price and PoS difficulty. The higher the the diff meant more people were staking and less coins were available for sale so price went up. That seemed to be somewhat correct when we had cryptsy/volume and it worked for me. Now not so much. Difficulty has been relatively high the last couple of weeks but the price stays low. I wish Cryptopia had more volume. Short of a big exchange adding tek I think the BTC halving is what will raise all ships.
This definitely is a great time to buy and cost average tek holdings.
