Of course it's time, the market is unpredictable and you shouldn't expect that it will grow and be stable for a long time! These are cryptocurrencies and they are just interesting to most traders because of their volatility.
For coin with PoS mining it is very important that the price of the coin will grow in future. Coin holders must be sure that the coin in staking will grow.
I already wrote above that it doesn't matter what kind of mining a coin has, miners and coin holders will always want the maximum value.
