Seems like we've been in a rather bullish mood until a couple of hours ago, when a sudden dip of Bitcoin rippled across alts as well, lowering their gains. It remains to be seen if it's just a temporary dip, or the bears are back.

STEEM And SBD

At the moment of writing, STEEM was trading, on average, at $1.97 on Coinmarketcap, significantly up from yesterday.

On Bittrex , the 30 minutes chart shows a very recent spike, which drove the price almost to 32k satoshis, followed by a fast correction to the previous levels

The 1 hour chart puts that spike in perspective, showing a consistent bullish trend, on relatively high volume.

The 1 day chart confirms the bullish trend and indicates stabilization around 29k satoshis:

SBD was trading, at the moment of writing, at $1.93 on average, slightly up from yesterday.

The 30 minutes chart on Bittrex shows a similar spike with STEEM, but the correction was deeper:

The 1 hour chart is flatter than STEEM's, on the same spike interval

The 1 day chart confirms once again that, while STEEM is growing, SBD is gently trending down

SBD to STEEM Ratio

At the moment of writing, according to steem.supply, for 1 SBD you get 0.983 STEEM, down from yesterday and we're below parity.

Overall opinion: Markets are showing a generally bullish sentiment, which seems to be tested now. Sending Bitcoin again over $7,000 would be a relevant sign that the bear pressure is over and we can expect at least sideways trading for a while. SBD is slowly decoupling from STEEM, which is on a bull run.
