Market Snapshot - Day Twenty

in #steem7 years ago

This is my twentieth day from the 30 days writing challenge I'm doing during January. Basically, I'm writing each day an article on a topic that I'm interested in, or something that I'm just learning. I tag these posts with #challenge30days, if you want to join, all you have to do is to use the same tag. Each day I will also pick 3 articles and give them a full upsteem. For all the details and the motivation, have a look at the introductory post.

Top 10 Cryptos

At the moment of writing, top 10 cryptos were predominantly green, with only two tokens in red.

Bitcoin has the most consistent growth, with 9%, also marking the crossing of the $12.5k psychological layer, which may signal the beginning of a bull trend. ETH and Cardano both show 7% growth, while Ripple and Neo are seeing minor corrections. Although still in red territory, Bitcoin growth seems sustainable.

STEEM And SBD

At the moment of writing, STEEM was trading, on average at $5.32 on Coinmarketcap, sharply up from yesterday. On Bittrex, the 30 minutes chart shows two consecutive breaking up attempts, going as high as 50k satoshis, then stabilizing around 42k satoshis.

The 1 hour chart shows more clearly the two attempts and the stabilization almost at the previous value before the pumps.

The 1 day chart shows 4 consecutive days of upwards correction, but the last candle has a very long wick, suggesting downwards pressure, or bearish sentiment, still strong.

SBD was trading, at the moment of writing, at $6.72 on average, sharply up from yesterday, with almost 50% growth. The 30 minutes chart on Bittrex shows two breakouts similar to STEEM's, showing how SBD and STEEM are very closely coupled. The pump went as high as 65k satoshis, stabilizing around 53.5k satoshis.

The 1 hour chart shows renewed bull strength and the formation of an upward trend, on significant volume.

The 1 day chart shows two solid days of growth, suggesting that SBD may stabilize around 55k satoshis, or even break up this level.

Overall opinion: After another SBD pump, STEEM is seeing higher levels and both tokens seem to be supported by very positive sentiment. There is a pattern unfolding for the last 5-6 weeks, in which, during the weekend, SBD pumps, and for the rest of the week is stabilizing or correcting down. That suggests a lot of weekend activity, which doesn't come, usually, from institutional investors. This information, coupled with the latest news, may mean SBD/STEEM are, probably, very popular among domestic traders in South Korea. Just speculation, obviously.

Wanna know when you're getting paid?

I know the feeling. That's why I created steem.supply, an easy to use and accurate tool for calculating your Steemit rewards

It's free to use, but if you think this is a useful addition, I'd appreciate your witness vote.

Thank you!

We are going to see Dteem in the top 5 soon

GREEN has now become my favorite color... feeling happy wherever i see this color...

I think Steem needs to keep good visibility for now. We'll look back in a year at when It was 'only' $5

I always remember how expensive ETH looked to me in 2016, when I bought 5 ETH at $10 each. Sold them all since then, but just saying...

SBD was trading, at the moment of writing, at $6.72 on average.

This is a good news to me.

I have a question !!! Why does it say "not secure" on steem.supply ??

It doesn't have a SSL certificate. But since it doesn't require you to input any sensitive data, a SSL certificate is not really needed. I think some browsers are expecting to see SSL certificates on every site and complain when they're not seeing it.

bitcoin got stable a lot now alts new highs coming soon :D

Hi @dragosroua, I nominated you to take part in the 7 day black and white challenge in my latest post!

You keep using Bittrex as base, but many are locked out from using that exchange...
Ok traded some SBD into STEEM, at least the built-in market works...

Just getting update & learning about crypto market from your analysis!

So Thanks @dragosroua, for sharing market statistics and overview about current prices.
