This is my seventeenth 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 red, posting double digit losses.

Bitcoin avoided to dip under $10k, but it hovered really close twice during the last 24 hours. Ethereum is trading under $,1000 again and Ripple is heading towards under $1 levels. It's been quite a damaging day all over the crypto spectrum.

STEEM And SBD

At the moment of writing, STEEM was trading, on average at $3.62 on Coinmarketcap, sharply down from yesterday. On Bittrex, the 30 minutes chart shows movement between 37k and 32k satoshis, with consistent downward pressure.

The 1 hour chart confirms the breaking of the former 37k satoshis resistance level with the next potential resistance level around 32k satoshis.

The 1 day chart shows a fourth consecutive correction day, but the engulfed 4th candle may suggest an upward correction tomorrow.

SBD was trading, at the moment of writing, at $3.48 on average, sharply down from yesterday. The 30 minutes chart on Bittrex shows significant volume around 32k satoshis, suggesting a potential resistance level around this value.

The 1 hour chart shows a more pronounced downwards trend, with yesterday's resistance level - 40k satoshis - broken..

The 1 day chart suggests that sideways trading is over, and the last candle may indicate a reversal.

Overall opinion: STEEM and SBD took the hit along with the entire market and are trading almost 50% lower than a week ago. Parity was reached and SBD continues the downward trend. The sell pressure seems to keep the momentum and, despite some minor correction today, we may see further depreciation during the next couple of days.
