📈STEEM Investor Report 17 May 2018 (Bitcoin and STEEM Up Slightly)

*** Catching up on yesterday's post, data was pulled about this time yesterday

Trading Recommendation:

BUY, price drop is an opportunity to buy, significant risk of STEEM falling if SBD returns to $1

Investment Recommendation:

BUY, expecting to be much higher after the release of communities (coming soon), SMTs, and partner applications

Analyst Commentary:

The STEEM price is up 1.89% verse the USD over the past 24 hours on lower volume ($8,105,300) as Bitcoin rises to $8.3k and the broader market is mixed. STEEM is holding ground verse Bitcoin as Korean trading falls to 28% of the trading volume. The strong downward movement of Bitcoin is the primary driver of the current fall in STEEM, wait to see if it stabilizes before STEEM moves up again. New account creation is strong with 2,200 new accounts created in the past 24 hours. The % vested indicator is down at 71.21% on steady power downs and lower power ups. Daily active accounts is up at 62,304 accounts executing transactions in the last 24 hours. SBD is at $2.23 on Bittrex which is still very elevated over the peg, receive you rewards in 50% SBD and then use the SBDs to buy STEEM on the exchange. SBD conversions are a waste of money again!

For traders, I believe STEEM is fairly valued around the $3 level even after SBD returns to the $1 peg. If SMTs and communities have the expected impact of broadening the use cases of the STEEM blockchain, STEEM could be fairly valued at $8 or more. On the investor side, I believe we will be significantly higher after communities are released and the account creation problem is solved (the timeline for this is currently unknown). I would power up your rewards and buy STEEM below the $3 level.
