After reaching as high as 15k satoshis, STEEM is back where it started, on the hourly chart

SBD to STEEM Ratio

At the moment of writing, according to steem.supply you could get 1.059 STEEM for 1 SBD, down from yesterday, and above parity. Since SBD printing rate is 0%, rewards are paid now in STEEM / Steem Power.

Overall opinion: The entire market seems down today. STEEM went through a pump and dump yesterday, in the anticipation of HF 20, which is expected to go live this afternoon. All in all, caution seem to be our best friend these days.

A strong correction sent prices back to pre-weekend levels.
Bitcoin went all the way down to $6400 crossing the $6500 support/resistance line again as seen in the 1hr chart.

If we take a look at the daily chart, it seems we are facing another approach to the year lows as stochastic is moving down and has not reached oversold yet. This could be the final run to reach the year lows before facing the expected bull run.

EOS strong correction moved the price close to the $5 level again after a few days above the $6 level. Stochastic is on a low again after the third down leg seems to have ended so we could finally see a trend reversal in the hours to come.

STEEM strong pump due to expected HF just vanished after a few hours and prices went back to $0,90 as volume has declined again. We will have to see how the HF deployment impacts the market today. The stochastic oversold signal may also be an indicator of a reversal.

I think STEEM is at $0.92, not $0.82. It's just 10 cents, but it matter, IMHO :0

Let's see if we are lucky and price start approaching the $1 level again.

The market not breaking all the resisting lines

The exchanges seem to have a wide range of prices for steem today and I heard some food not allow for buying it at the moment. I expect people are waiting to see how the hardfork goes. We need a smooth transition really. Then we can move ahead and confidence may improve, although I've seen a few people saying they are unimpressed with the changes.

The volatility is high because:

  1. there is a significant change in the platform, which should improve user acquisition and retention
  2. the underlying technical change directly affects exchanges, which need to upgrade themselves too if they want to continue trading

Two source of disruption, actually.

As for the actual changes implemented in this hardfork, I'm one of the guys that tell a different story: especially the new account creation feature will massively change things around here.

So sad to see the market like that

Let's see what happens post HF 20...

What do you expect for hardfork in terms of down time?

As my father-in-law would say, "from your lips to Gods ears" haha

Dang, it went down. Oh well, maybe next time

let's hope that HF 20 brings more users to consolidate the value of SBD and STEEM

The price action around steem was a pump and dump afterall, a bit sad but not a surprise to be honest.
