This is my seventh 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 slightly bullish, with 6 in green and 4 in red.
Bitcoin continues to consolidate around the $17k level, while ETH is appreciating beyond the 1k level, with almost 10% increase day to day, and reaches $108 billion market cap. The gap between ETH and Ripple continues to narrow, and it's not at $14 billion. Other than TRON, which seems to correct faster, all other top cryptos are more or less in the same parameters as yesterday (I'm excluding from this statement Bitcoin Cash, which seems to be acting on its own).
STEEM And SBD
At the moment of writing, STEEM was trading, on average at $6.26 on Coinmarketcap, higher than yesterday. On Bittrex, the 30 minutes charts shows two upswings on moderate volume, followed by flat trading.
The 1 hour chart shows a consolidation above yesterdays's lows.
The 1 day chart shows the potential beginning of a triangle formation, indicating stabilization over the next few days.
SBD was trading, at the moment of writing, at $7.88 on average, up from yesterday. The 30 minutes chart on Bittrex shows a mostly stable line around 47k satoshis, slightly up from yesterday's 45k satoshis.
The 1 hour chart supports the assumption that the downwards pressure of the last two days vanished and SBD may enter a more stable corridor.
The 1 day chart suggests that resistance may be found around 47k satoshis.
Overall opinion: STEEM is slightly higher during a Bitcoin consolidation, which indicates potential once Bitcoin corrects (if corrects). SBD seems to find support around $47k satoshis.
