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 down 9.15% verse the USD over the past 24 hours on higher volume ($8,830,350) as Bitcoin is down at $7.25k and the broader market is down. STEEM is down sharply verse Bitcoin as Korean trading is down at 17% of the trading volume. New account creation data is not available today. The % vested indicator is down slightly at 71.13% on steady power downs and low power ups. Daily active account data is not available today. SBD is at $1.64 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.
