Bitcoin is barely holding off above $9,000 while all the other assets are looking down. It may be related to the fact that May 1st is usually a holiday in many parts of the world. Or it may be that the market is simply correcting itself.

STEEM And SBD

At the moment of writing, STEEM was trading, on average, at $3.80 on Coinmarketcap, down from yesterday.

The 1 hour chart shows that 43k satoshis resistance was broken downwards and now the price is hovering around 41.5k-42k satoshis.

The 1 day chart shows a 4th consecutive red candle, but with longer wick and shorter body, which may indicate the correction is approaching and end.

Overall opinion: Markets are correcting harder today. STEEM lost 1.5k satoshis in one day, but it's still doing well, SBD is continuing the gentle downtrend, heading to the peg. Volume seems to be very low for both assets.
