This is my eleventh day from the 30 days writing challenge I'm doing during January. Basically, I'm writing each day an article on a topic that I'm interested in, or something that I'm just learning. I tag these posts with #challenge30days, if you want to join, all you have to do is to use the same tag. Each day I will also pick 3 articles and give them a full upsteem. For all the details and the motivation, have a look at the introductory post.

Top 10 Cryptos

At the moment of writing, top 10 cryptos were all in red, following news from South Korea crackdown on exchanges.

There is a sharp decrease in value on the entire spectrum, with half of the top 10 tokens seeing double digit losses, in a very short period.

STEEM And SBD

At the moment of writing, STEEM was trading, on average at $4.26 on Coinmarketcap, 20% down from yesterday. On Bittrex, the 30 minutes chart is showing a flat trading along the 36k satoshi resistance line, until the news broke out.

The 1 hour chart supports an abrupt downtrend, with a potential resistance line forming around 32k satoshis.

The 1 day chart suggests a continuation of the downtrend. If the 32k satoshis resistance line won't hold, the next stop is around 22k.

SBD was trading, at the moment of writing, at $5.26 on average, 26% down from yesterday. The 30 minutes chart on Bittrex shows the moment of the panic sell, with an interesting recovery pattern after the first hour.

The 1 hour chart confirms the downtrend but shows consistent support around 40k satoshis.

Overall opinion: STEEM and SBD, already on a bearish trend, both took a hit along with the entire market. The interesting part is the strong support for SBD around the 40k satoshis level. If that line holds, we may see a fast rebound, as demand seems to be still strong. If not, the downtrend pressure will continue.
