Bitcoin is having a small increase, trading above $7,400 and probably the rest of the assets will follow. But for now, they're all in red, correcting consistently after last few days jump.

STEEM And SBD

At the moment of writing, STEEM was trading, on average, at $1.47 on Coinmarketcap, down from yesterday in fiat, and in BTC.

The 1 hour chart shows a rapid drop from 21k satoshis to 19k satoshis, followed by an upward correction up to 19.7k satoshis

SBD was trading, at the moment of writing, at $1.24, down in fiat from yesterday, and in BTC.

The 1 hour chart is showing a sharp correction which pierced through the 17k satoshis resistance level, SBD trading now at 16.7k satoshis

Overall opinion: Looks like we're at an inflection point: Bitcoin seems to continue its advance, while alts are correcting down, which mimics the standard markets behavior (money flowing from alts to Bitcoin, when Bitcoin appreciates). STEEM and SBD are more bearish than I'd like them to be, but let's hope the weekend will bring some energy into these assets.

We are experiencing a consolidation in Bitcoin and correction in the rest of alts, with few exemptions as Stellar.
Bitcoin keeps trying to cross the $7500 resistance but every time it punches it, it bounces down. 50 MA has been acting as support so far and we will probably have to wait for the weekend to see what the market finally decides to do. Volume has been declining and now the trading range is quite narrow.

EOS had a nice correction which seems to have reversed this morning. It never broke the downtrend channel. Price has recovered a little bit and is now trading on the $8,3 level just hitting the 100 MA acting now as resistance.

STEEM also had a strong correction which sent the price below $1,4 just hitting 200MA. This morning has bounced up and now trading around $1,45. We will have to STEEM and EOS react once Bitcoin breaks the trading range into whatever direction.

Although we are seeming capital flow from alts to bitcoin...but a bullish bitcoin means a bullish market in the long run.

Yup its the part of market. A ll we hope that good prices is ahead.
I think after every pump there is always dump.

I heard there was a lot of profit taking on binance that may affect steem prices. What do you think @dragosroua?

The current market outlook may support this. Hard to know for sure.

Although Steem is looking a little bearish but frankly I am glad it is still above 1.45 mark. The markets have taken a con siderable beating for last couple of weeks but the last few days have been good. Hoping that this would last while Steem build support at higher levels.

Everything is on bitcoin now a sudden dump and we will see more blood bath

The weekend has started here, expecting things to go as high as anything for me to catch out just a few of my steem, I need money. Lol.

It is the time of bitcoin. Dad of all alts. So stay positive for a while. Very soon alt will boom for sure.

Bitcoin gains some momentum.As Bitcoins gain momentun other currency also gains momentum. why the market is in red? @dragosroua

We still hoping that SBD or Steem will go back to those times that 1 SBD = 10+ USD. but is it possible? @dragosroua what do you think?

A better day for btc. But steem and sbd are looks down than yesterday.

all kind of topics are going down.only Bitcoin indicate some positive.not a good result at all

Better day for Bitcoin , but steem and sbd rate down day-by-day . I am very upset . I wish sbd and steem rate grow up quickly .
