Trading Recommendation:
Except high volatility, look for trades on 15 minute overextensions
Investment Recommendation:
Hard to make a recommendation here, leadership shake ups tend to drive initial price drops and then either a recover or further drop if the shareholders accept or reject the replacement. I'm holding and may purchase more STEEM if the price collapses to a level below $0.06.
Analyst Commentary:
The STEEM price fell a significant 13.65% verse the USD over the past 24 hours on even higher volume than yesterday on rough news for the STEEM community. For those that have not seen the news, @Dan is resigning. Key leader shakeups in organizations generally lead to very volatile price movements as the shareholders agree or disagree with the secession plan and future plans of the company/platform. These times represent great times for investing if you believe in the vision of the remaining leaders or a time to exit if you think the loss was irreplaceable. Because I have view all of my cryptocurrency investments as speculative and did't invest any more than I could handle losing tomorrow, I'll be holding here and possibly investing more if the price of STEEM drops significant and reinforces the 2017 roadmap vision. If you are heavily invested in STEEM with money you need, this may be time to take some off the table.
For those of us who are planning to stay and help develop the platform, now is the time to help find a suitable CTO to push STEEM ahead. I'll be watching the developments and proving daily updates, please upvote and follow. Until I know more, I will look for opportunities to trade the price swings ... if only I didn't work 12 hours a day.
