Well, you can never know what happens next. Look at the Steem price chart from Nov 17 to Jan 18 - it went from 95 cent to over $8.
And that Dollar thing is not good at all for the US, even if "strong" sounds good at first. But in fact its poison for the economy. If it climbs at the rate as it did last week, it will cause all kinds of trouble in the US and other parts of the world.
Yup it screws exports for USA companies! It will not be good at all
I think given the bear trend we wil not in anyway see a jump in steem past $3.00 let alone 8 but I see your point
Wity the low volume a big whale could pump it up even 30% or 50%
But the trend is definitely down
