Bitcoin kept the gains pocketed at the beginning of the week and prepares for the weekend in a stable shape. Building on this stability, the bullish sentiment grows across the altcoins, which are seeing bigger gains.

STEEM And SBD

At the moment of writing, STEEM was trading, on average, at $3.06 on Coinmarketcap, up from yesterday, breaking over $3 for the third time in the last 7 days.

The 1 hour chart shows a sideways-to-bullish pattern, with flat intervals and with higher lows on corrections, suggesting the token may try to lock in a new resistance level at 37k satoshis

SBD was trading, at the moment of writing, at $3.06 on average, up from yesterday and basically at parity with STEEM.

The 1 hour chart shows a similar patter with STEEM, only the upper wicks are longer and candle bodies smaller, indicating that, while still appreciating, there is a relevant bearish pressure on the token

Overall opinion: Overall, markets are ending the week on a very positive vibe, although the gains are not spectacular. The consistency showed by all the major crypto assets is encouraging. SBD appreciated slightly and reached parity again with STEEM. Both tokens are advancing in a less hairy way, which indicates more constant interest and less pump and dump behavior.

Dear Lord! I sold my ripples at 8000sats. Hopefully we will witness slight retracement.

Oh, they're now equal again. I thought Steem was gaining ground in front of SBD. What has happened to the efforts that had been going into pegging SBD? Is it an issue with "peggers" being outnumbered or the fluidity of the market?

Is it an issue with "peggers" being outnumbered or the fluidity of the market?

Most likely. But, as I pointed out in the article, SBD is advancing with a different pattern than STEEM. It's a token that is still having a downward pressure and, in time, this should level it down to the peg. At least IMHO.

I agree, very encouraging, up we go

Growth has been organic, kind of.

Yea , if steem can be seen as an investment platform, then we need consistency rather than pump which would eventually lead to dumps. This is good for the ecosystem and I am very positive .

In crypto, dump is not a respecter of consistent or sharp positive price action.

I wonder at where will Steem be in few years time. although most people I referred to don't make past a month. How much do you think Steem will hit by the end of the year.

Only the market knows :)

That how i like to see the market i have a feeling we will have it for a while now

I'm keeping an eye on EOS as it seems to be recovering quite fast from the downtrend. Last week airdrop plus the rollout announcement of the first feature-complete pre-release version of EOSIO, Dawn 3.0 pushed the price up. But the fact that we are approaching the end of their 1-year ICO may be pushing the value up quite fast. Today the price is just touching the $10 resistance.

I'm feeling pretty good about the markets at the moment, and it seems that we could be about to go on a lovely bullish run for a while. Time to see the accumulation of bargains in bear season come to fruition.

Really appreciate your work my friend. Always the first with the regular updates. Steem and SBD are going equally side by side. But the good thing is that the value is increasing continuously. Thanks my friend. Good luck

It is always nice to see steem is progressing steadily. So SBD equalise with steem. News is great as long as steem price show bullish trend

Finally bitcoin is now going to the moon :D
