I hope you're right, @vlemon! But as more and more people say, there will never be another altcoin season again. And this applies for STEEM too. I personally think this is wrong and the alts will surge again someday. OK, maybe not like the 'good old times', but some rallies will happen. 
Who knows, maybe in time STEEM will slowly detach from the other altcoins and find its own way through the market, being less influenced by these aggressive downtrends. But for this to happen, we need more adoption... 
Regrading your post, that's what I'm also intending to do: accumulate and power up. Unfortunately I don't have the budget right now to invest and that's why I'll stick to 'growing' the account through blogging and other actions on the platform.

Cheers!
