Trading Recommendation:
HOLD, broader market direction is uncertain, significant risk of STEEM falling if SBD returns to $1
Investment Recommendation:
HOLD, expecting to be much higher after the release of communities, SMTs, and partner applications
Analyst Commentary:
The STEEM price is up 7.65% verse the USD over the past 24 hours on higher volume ($129,445,000) as Bitcoin slowly advances to $8.7k but STEEM appears to have gained Korean attention again. STEEM is gaining ground verse Bitcoin with Korean trading still leading the volume as it accounts for 92% of market volume. New account creation is very strong at 3,600 new accounts created in the past 24 hours. The % vested indicator is up slightly at 72.16%. SteemDB has caught back up and I have updated the power down graphs. Daily active accounts is down slightly at 61,029 accounts active over the past 24 hours. SBD is at $4.75 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, but we will remain elevated until SBD returns to the $1 peg. 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 after STEEM corrects to the $3 level.
