Trading Recommendation:
BUY, break in upward movement 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 1.40% verse the USD over the past 24 hours on lower volume ($8,829,440) as Bitcoin is flat at $9.3k and the broader market is mixed. STEEM is flat verse Bitcoin as Korean trading remains low at 29% of trading volume. Without any new development news coming out of official channels, STEEM is likely to continue to track Bitcoin's movements for the time being. New account creation has spiked up to 9,700 new accounts created in the past 24 hours as Steemit may be catching up on the new account backlog. The % vested indicator is down at 71.23% on steady power downs and a break in power ups. Daily active accounts is up t 59,975 accounts executing transactions over the past 24 hours. SBD is at $2.73 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.
