> A "price hike" is not necessary an "increase"

A "price hike" is always an increase, and specifically a large increase. If the value has decreased it'd be a "price drop" and a large drop would be a "price slash".

Yeah, that's the point, ambiguity.

Again, what I meant is, of course, "price hike" in itself always constitutes some increase, but its nature can be one of two: 1. positive delta 2. setting the price to a ratio > 1.
