Bitcoin is down to $6,500 and some assets, like XRP and EOS, are posting double digit losses.

STEEM And SBD

At the moment of writing, STEEM was trading, on average, at $1.07 on Coinmarketcap, down from yesterday in fiat and in BTC

On the 1 hour chart, although STEEM reacted to the market dive, it still maintains the gains from last week, trading above 16k satoshis

The 1 day chart is still flat around 16k satoshis and it might look like STEEM may break out of the bear trend and start a flat / sideways pattern

SBD was trading, at the moment of writing, at $1.06, almost identical with yesterday, in fiat but up in BTC.

The 1 hour chart shows that SBD reacted correctly to the BTC dive, appreciating against the main asset and maintaining its value in USD.

The 1 day chart seems quite stable, given the latest market swings

At the moment of writing, according to steem.supply you could get 0.972 STEEM for 1 SBD, up from yesterday, and still under parity. SBD printing rate is 8%, down from yesterday.

Overall opinion: SEC announced a delay in a very anticipated decision about a Bitcoin ETF, until September, and that took the markets down. The move was way too sudden, though, and I expect a correction up soon. STEEM and SBD are holding ground, which is very good news.
