STEEM has done it again and set a new all time high at $9.25
Chart Analysis
Without a doubt, STEEM has surpassed everyone's expectations. Just two days ago, on New Year's day, I made a quick chart and projected that STEEM would hit $6 in two weeks. Boy was I wrong. Well not 100% wrong, unexpected pumps do happen all the time in the crypto space, and charts cannot predict that. However, charts provide tools to analyse what's going on. Although I would love to see STEEM stay at $8-9 or more, market fundamentals always win.

The chart shows two overbought candles that are way above the upper Bollinger band. With bursts like that, there is a high chance of a correction. We have a MACD cross-over and a strong RSI supporting the pump. By doing a Fibonacci extension, we can see that the 61.80% retraction should land us around $6, which is my exact prediction from two days ago.
If the price consolidates at $6 for a while, say a week or two, then STEEM can surely blast its way above $10 with more solid grounds. Personally, I like to see healthy, solid and slow increases, with periods of consolidation, rather than quick pumps.
STEEM is currently ranked 25, with almost $2 billion USD in market cap, and is trading today around $8.
So in the mean time, sit back and enjoy some tea.

What are thoughts on SBD? Should we be holding SBD. My gut tells me to convert it to steem, because we know for a fact SBD is overpriced. It was designed to track the dollar. But at the same time, if you held it you saw 10x gains. I feel like that SBD money will eventually all get dumped into Steem, which could push Steem to $50.00. It's just a matter of when. I would love to hear your thoughts on that.
