STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

We tested the resistance line in red but the first attempt failed (green circle):

The faillure created a little pull back but we should do a second attempt really soon to try to break that resistance line.

The more we are testing a resistance or support line, the more that line is becoming weak.

So there is nothing negative if we cannot break a line at the first attempt, except if the pull back is very important but it is not the case here. Let's see if during the coming hours we will be able to test again that line and break it.
