Steem Should You Buy Or Sell It All?In my last analysis I predicted a Steem price between 1.75 and 1.90 which is about where we are right now. Steem seems to be inching lower lockstep with BTC. If you do your BTC analysis you will know that we are likely going to fall further before we move any higher (around $1000).
Full disclosure I hold both Steem and Steem Dollars.
The goal of most alt coin holders is to gain more BTC. That is unlikely to happen with Steem or SBD until BTC has corrected course. I wouldnt be surprised to see Steem hit 1.25 or lower while BTC continues to slide.
If you are timing the market to buy Steem at a discount - we still have quite a bit of pressure to move downward - I wouldnt buy for anything less than 1.50 or more likely 1.25.
If your in the Steem and looking to make a move - you might want to get your position to cash and wait for the inevitable downturn - before the market goes bull again.

Steem Moving Up But Be CarefulSteem is moving up after hitting some lows. Most of this has to do with BTC dropping more than some inherit problem with Steem.
The challenge in trading alt coins like Steem is you have to keep an eye on the BTC chart as well. BTC has gone up a bit in weekend trading an so has Steem.
If BTC continues to move up - you can count on Steem to move up - but it will likely be temporary if BTC correct again (which is likely).
If you are sitting on some Steem and are looking for an opportunity to make more - i've set my target on the chart. A re-entry point would be somewhere below $2 as BTC does another dip.
I'm a believer in Steem - it should be a $10 coin when the market picks up again. In the meantime the volume is very low - but opportunities to get in low and get out a little higher still exist.
Stack That Steem!
STEEM - Long term wedge breakout pending - BUY SIGNAL Higher lows forming within the long term wedge, have tested the resistance twice. Also some rumours starting to stir that STEEM might be getting listed on bithumb soon.

Buy And Sell Calls For Steem/BTCSteem is a currency that can fluctuate wildly. From a TA perspective its been fairly predictable since the large price swing we saw previously.
Heres how to play it. If you are in the money and waiting - keep waiting - until about 0.00023000 - it may dip a bit lower than this but this is a could place to setup tent.
The first target sale could take place at 0.0002600 or possibly higher.
This is my own analysis using techniques that have been consistent for me. These idea are not financial advice - do your own research before investing!

* Sell: NO NO NO
#Steem finding support around 50fib region. #steembtc Steem seems to be in an ascending channel , facing resistance at the 20DMA level at 36.8k sats after bouncing off the 61.8fib support at 31.7k sats, currently its being supported by the 35k sat region which is the 50fib level of the move X-A and also 23.6fib of the B leg .
If #steembtc manages to break above the 20 DMA and subsequently the important resistance level at 39-40k sat region, then we can expect it to rally to 42.5-43k sats, before we see some correction.
STEEM Analysis [UPDATE 21-05-2018]Scenario casting two possible moves for STEEMUSD.
Currently forming a nice break out pattern with a smaller breakout pattern formed at the top of trend line. This further squeezing is normally is a very bullish indicator of an impending breakout to the upside. However, it appears that there is no buying momentum to break out now, which will more than likely result in a spill further down. Should this be the case, we can expect consolidation near the key $3 level.
There is a head and shoulders pattern that isn't the clearest, but on completion would target $1.50. At this stage, the bearish scenario looks more probable and provides the greater risk/reward should you decide to trade.
On the flipside, should STEEMUSD break out to the upside, we can expect a re-test of the $4 area.

STEEM (STEEMBTC) Trade Analysis by Alan Masters
CHARTS, SIGNALS & INDICATORS
STEEM did its first wave after bouncing from bottom on mid March and reached up to 250% of its bottomed out price. Now STEEM has retraced nicely, it found support and is getting ready for another ride. We want to position ourselves by opening a position now, so that we can profit on the way up and sell a portion of our tokens each time we hit one of our targets. We later use these profits to buy back lower in preparation for another run, or we keep it for new trades or withdrawal depending on your own personal choice.
STEEM is a very strong project. You can buy and hold this coin long term, so this is a safe trade because it will grow as the market grows regardless of the short term view perspective and price swings. Let's get into the details right away...

STEEM/BTC (STEEM token) Cycles, Tigers & Bear$ Oh My!STEEM/BTC (STEEM token) 720 minute/12 hour semi log scale, candlestick wicks removed for wave clarity.
05/17/18, 9:00 PM EST, by Michael Mansfield.
Hi trader friends! Looks like we have more sell offs with this token, if these cycles are correct.
Steem is a token from the blockchain enabled social media site, SteemIt.com, which, is kind of like a cross between Facebook & Medium, add YouTube (via Dtube) and you have a winner. Check out our page there, but not right now.
ELLIOTT WAVES & PATTERNS:
The most likely pattern appears to be larger ABC or ABCDE contracting wedge pattern, that should be heading lower now, in line with the cycles shown at the top of the chart.
I’ve used the shorter ABC Elliott Wave corrective pattern for now. However, if STEEM breaks any of the black horizontal breakout lines up or down, or the GANN 1:1 diagonal resistance line up, or the upper or lower blue wedge diagonal trend-lines, then a new trend trust in the direction of the breakout/breakdown is very likely underway.
If a breakout looks imminent, I'll try to do a new post for that potential event or update this post with a new forecast.
THE DOWN KEY:
The dashed horizontal blue line just below yesterday’s low must be breached for this down wave pattern to continue as forecasted, else, it could be full "Steem" ahead.
CYCLES:
Blue cycle = general trend momentum thus far.
Green cycle aligned with the 3 major prior lows.
Red cycle tends to catch intermediate highs.
There is definitely longer and smaller cycles than shown, but the data history is too limited to determine the larger cycles at this time.
Currently, these three cycles are heading down. Thus, the path of less resistance and the highest probability is lower prices until mid August (10-13th ), when the green cycle is due to bottom, or late September (26th exact date), around the time the longer-term blue cycle is due to trough.
SHORT ACTION: Look for short opportunities now, or wait for buy opportunities around the expected cycle low dates in August or September, mention above.
TRADER TIPS:
Cycles are about potential energy shifts, not always the direction of a perfect sine-wave. Sometimes cycles invert, called a cycle inversion or flip flop, whereby an originally expected cycle top turns out to be a cycle low. This occurs more with short-term cycles, than longer-term ones. Sometimes cycles are amazingly accurate, but don't use them alone. They yet are another confirmation and planning tool to tilt the odds in a trader’s favor.
Case in point: Years ago when I was a commodity broker, (can’t tell you when, but before I became a CTA), gold and silver had an almost perfect 7 week cycle, low to low. They both went up 4 weeks, then down 3 weeks. This went on for around 9 months. I was able to exit virtually all of my many clients out of the metals market at a 2-3 day double/triple top on the days surrounding the 4 week high. This particular "time & price area" occured after 5 Waves up in Elliott Wave terms, it was also around the time for a seasonal top for gold, and gold hit a Gann or Andrews line and held.
After selling out everyone that would listen to me, which was 90%+ of my clients, guess what happened. Gold and silver then crashed 30%! How long did the crash take? You guessed it, three weeks! The 3 week cycle low came right on time! After that, the cycles changed and were less consistent, so I moved on to other markets.
THREE MORE CYCLE TIPS:
Gold has a very consistent cycle of 8 to 8.6 years, top to top.
Commodities tend to have more consistent cycle highs than lows.
Many digital assets (cryptos) trade more like commodities and currencies, than stocks, but have been far more volatility. Still, tops often seem more consistent than lows for many tokens, but not with all tokens.

STEEM - Accumulation areaHello folks! Today i want to show you STEEM in 4h timeframe , is accumulating around 37k zone , that's holding strong in 4h timeframe and EMA200 is acting as support. Would buy STEEM with a tight SL below this zone and 3 different Take Profits. Let's watch it closely , might decide the next movement direction soon. Have a nice and profitable day!
STEEMBTC - Entering possible buy-in zoneSTEEMBTC is a pretty great coin because when it moves, boy does it move. Managed to pull in two 20% trades in the last 2 weeks!
It had a clear 5 wave structure complete on April 27th peaking at 0.000504, and has been undergoing a clear ABC wave down, currently sitting at 0.000386.
I marked off the area where I think it will finish it's correction based on ratios of 1-1 ratios of A-C, and it's already had a dip into that area earlier today.
There was a big spike in volume that coincided with that time, so I think that may have been our capitulation benchmark.
RSI, MacD and Stochastics all show the potential for this to go a bit lower (no clear bullish divergence anywhere that I can spot), so I don't think it's totally done correcting - but I think it will be soon.
It likely won't get any lower than 0.000346, but you never know sometimes. It may not even get that far, preferring to stay around the 0.000367 area.
If it hits that point and starts going up, we likely just saw a double bottom.
Anyways, watch this one closely because when it decides to go up, I think we could see some really huge gains. Over the month of april it went from a low of 0.0002 to a high of 0.0005.
So the next wave is likely to take it to as high as 0.00084 ~ (0.0005-0.0002)x1.618 + 0.00036.
Good luck!
