The 1 day chart shows a that yesterday's red candle turned into a green "hanging man", signaling reversal, and today's candle, while undecided, it's in green as well.

Overall opinion: After a shaky Tuesday, markets seems to come back up. Bitcoin survival above $9,000 seems to be the key of this uptrend. STEEM is correcting upwards and SBD follows suit, but the parity is still broken.

SBD is slowly recovering back. But the difference between Steem and SBD may decrease in next few days.

BTC seems to be stabilized at support level of $9000.

So many comments on this post upvoted their own comment instead of upvoting the post, this is a bit concerning!

Quite worrisome if you may ask me and so annoying, such acts deserves some flagging. I mean how do you confidently upvote your comment on a post and leave the post without upvoting it too.

And why do you even upvote your comment in the first place when this is not even a contest post, maybe I would've said okay, perhaps you're trying to increase visibility for your comment. But this was wasn't even a contest or challenge post, such behaviors only reflect the true state of the user, which is greed and selfishness.

It is annoying indeed - I sometimes get people comment on my posts saying how great it is and they just upvote their own comment from 10 different accounts without upvoting the post. If we want Steemit to become a major player - we really do need to be a bit more generous towards other Steemians. I mean seriously, it will hardly break our bank if we upvote a post with our few cents.

Green is always great to see for those holding but it is just the reaction from yesterday bear move. Bitcoin is on a clear trading range around $9000 and It may be in this range for a while.

EOS seems to have ended its correction from the previous bull run and last night broke the downtrend channel. Still early to be sure the uptrend is back in but it is a nice indication it bulls are pushing strong again.

Finally, Steem remains basically on the same position form the past two days. Still inside the uptrend channel with a very low volume on the STEEM/BTC 1hr chart, but it seems to have started a smooth rebound up.

What do you think about the steem to SBD ratio in the future?
Since I showed up on the blockchain, the ratio was always between 0.9 and 1.1. These days it floats around 1.2. I do believe that Steem will leave SBD behind! Steem is registered on much more exchanges than SBD, so it will attract much more interest!
What are your ideas about this?

SBD should go back to the $1 peg. It worked like this for a long time and that's the initial design. As a witness, I support this trend by adjusting my price feed bias, so as to increase the SBD supply.

Thx for the response. Do I understand it correctly that it will become harder to grow in steem when the SBD is going back to $1?
Now the pay-out in SBD is 50% of what we are receiving, which is much more than the 50% in Steem.
I was wondering what I had to do with the SBD. But because I want to grow to Minnow status I am powering up as much as I can!

Happy moments :)

The markets are holding steady. It’s nice to see Steem flirting with $4 again. Thanks for the update!

This is good for steem bitcoin keeps leading the way for the altcoins, we may never know how long the correction will last though hodl still

Looking at sbd and steem this morning. there hasn't been an significant growth in steem as we can see with sbd. It seems steem has remained a bit stagnant while sbd is getting a bit bilullish. Well let's see what happens in few hours time.

steem and SBD is gradually flying upwards. It is a good sign.

So happy to see this greens. Bitcoin is doing well again. Steem is correcting upwards and even will rise more than it has in the last couple of days.

Steem is becoming a power.

9 out of 10 coins are in green color and it's really a great news <3
It's May and May is a good month for crypto.
keep sharing your knowledge with us <3
God bless you sir!

This is not a correction, this is a second chance :))

Overall opinion: After a shaky Tuesday, markets seems to come back up. Bitcoin survival above $9,000 seems to be the key of this uptrend. STEEM is correcting upwards and SBD follows suit, but the parity is still broken.

This is awesome news my friend , it so sad to see our steem goes down but thanks heavens. It’s nice to see it rise again

Nice to see the market renouncing back to upward trend. I believe the crypto market today will be bullish among most top crypto coins. And I also see STEEM and SBD to be bullish also. Nice and helpful market analysis @dragosroua

Seems we are having more green today than yesterday and the price of sbd and that of steem has risen. The exchange rate of sbd/steem is also green. Good day

Glad to see Crypto is doing good and rising!

Price of crypto not doing so much thriving. But I hope it will go far.

yeah i am waitting for that time when sbd cross the steem..

Steem is seriously making me proud right now. Even when other cryptos are bearish, steem has remained bullish and has consistently dragged sbd along. Better days ahead I must say.

We needed to know "Market Snapshot - May 2nd 2018"

Thanks for share with us.

Steem reward is no longer included on the post payouts since Steem and SBD crossed $3. Should there be an explanation for that, let me know please.
Thanks

I think that this correction in SBD and STEEM is very healthy, now it's time to consolidate the price. Then, in a few days we can break some new resistances

thanks for sharing @dragosroua!

Again top ten crypto's mostly in green. That's good to hear, but you never know what future holds for the crypto currency.

a bit of dip and back up looks like something is strange is that a bull trap

it's a significant change steem and sbd.
daily updated .thank you so much to share.
great

Indeed, the parity is still broken and we look forward to something better. Thank you for the beautiful update @dragosroua.
I now look forward to your Day 2 post, 30 Days Writing Challenge
