🗞 Crypto Exchange Bitfinex Denies Rumors of 'Insolvency' and 'Banking Issues'

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

This sunday, we had the start of a nice up trend on the STEEM. All the day of yesterday, we went a little bit higher each hour to finally reach 0.85$. We are now consolidating but let's hope this trend will resume soon. If only the BTC could start also a UP move in the coming hours, I'm sure it would help us to quickly join the 1$ level.
