As of the last two days, Steem has finally found a bottom at 1.36. It has broken the 2.00 resistance as well, in response to Bitcoin breaking over the 8500 upper trendline and is currently sitting at 2.16.
If you've seen my last Bitcoin post, I stated that a break over 10k was needed for confirmation of a short-term bullish uptrend.
Similarly, for Steem I would like to see the price breakout from the 3.08 resistance level. By then, we will be over both of the EMAs, and Bitcoin should be channeling between 10k and 10.5k. For right now though, I would like to see an impulsive move towards 2.50 resistance, (100 EMA) giving a better chance for the confirmation at 3.00 to happen.
By looking at the chart, there was some sideways movement a week ago. As a result, there could be some of the same action taking place soon at 2.50 before the run to 3.00.
Another reason that this could happen is the fact that the RSI will most likely be overbought at this level, an indication that we might see some consolidation/several small pullbacks before the next run.
