STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

We are consolidating higher than the upper line of our triangle. So even we didn't have a real Break Out, at least we are using the upper line of our triangle as a support line and it allowed us also to stay upper than the resistance line in orange.

The coming hours will be very important as we are closely following the BTC and that the BTC pattern is less positive. I'm afraid than any big drop on the BTC will make us break that triangle support easly so I don't think it is yet the time to start a new trade with the STEEM. Patience...
