Elliott Wave Analysis
In Elliott Wave terms, Steem began a wave one advance on November 12, 2017. The red wave one (blue sub-waves i-ii-iii-iv-v) finished on January 3 this year, and the red wave two (blue sub-waves a-b-c) correction ended on January 17. If this wave count is correct, Steem should be heading next towards the January 3 peak in the red wave three.
