According to the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, the steem price shows an ongoing down-trend as of 07:35am (GMT+2.)
This has been likely caused by the constant price increase of Bitcoin. Whilst the value of Bitcoin went up, it left Steem behind. I really look forward to a reversal trend ASAP.
The roles of SBD and BTC would reverse in 2018.
Steem will steemp up like never before!
Thank you for your insights @sthumacher :)
