Trading Recommendation:
Look for trades on hourly trends
Investment Recommendation:
SELL or HOLD, fundamentals continue to decline, pending power downs look lower for next week
Analyst Commentary:
The STEEM price fell 0.81% verse the USD over the past 24 hours on weak but slightly higher volume than yesterday ($149,547) as the Bitcoin price rose slightly then stalled at it's current level. The % vested figure dropped significantly with the new Wednesday @Dan retirement power down of over 1 million STEEM. Active accounts fell slightly but I expect it to rise over time due to slowly increasing rewards. For traders, the recent fluctuations in the STEEM price are producing opportunities for trading on hourly trends (trade opposite Bitcoin trends). Thursday through Sunday should be a relatively low power down period with just over 1 million STEEM powering down. The quieter power down period may allow for a STEEM rally supported with more details being released about the @Steemitblog marketing plan. On the investor side, no change, the fundamentals have been consistently declining which tells me that the price level will break to catch up with fundamentals or the decline is built into the price level. Either way, I don't see long term improvement until after full payouts resume.
