Nice STEEM / SBD Pump, On A VERY Significant Volume

in #steemit7 years ago

During the last half an hour, something strange happened - in the good sense of strange. STEEM jumped with more than 1k satoshis, up to 40.5 k satoshis and now it's sitting at around 39.5k satoshis,

The Bittrex chart - above - doesn't make justice to this jump, but the Upbit chart, below, does:

The volume on that half an hour, on Upbit is almost equal to the entire day :) The SBD chart is seeing a similar pattern too.

Anyone knows something about any news that might have caused this?

Wanna know when you're getting paid?

I know the feeling. That's why I created steem.supply, an easy to use and accurate tool for calculating your Steemit rewards

It's free to use, but if you think this is a useful addition, I'd appreciate your witness vote.

Thank you!

Looks like a reaction to the Asian rally in bitcoin and ether. I've noticed over the past few months that SBD tends to have these abrupt pumps when bitcoin starts going up.

The Wiess report may have had some effect too.

Probably not the report but explanation on why they valued STEEM so high.

could be.
I was encouraged when I read it.

IMHO it was fair enough about STEEM. At least now (from this explanation) I can guess on how they evaluate other cryptos in their rating.

and it doesn't look good for most of the others

No idea mate but I hope it continues, I believe steem and Steemit have a great future it’s still early days for both now and then you hear predictions of $ 10 and I used to be Sceptical but as time goes one I now think it’s only a matter of time. Thanks mike

OMG! that was a good shot!
any ideas why?

Bitcoin demand in South Korea rises again as trade volume hits monthly high on South Korean exchanges

perhaps this might be significant?.

ceva s- a intamplat acolo , pump calumea

Yup, off the chart.

wow i am so happy so see that pump in steem and i hope this pump will last long and we might see at least 10$ steem soon, thanks for staying us updated regarding steem coin, Stay blessed

Who actually pumps this thing? This question has been on my mouth since I joined steemit and I haven't gotten an answer to it.

maybe no one knows the answer.
your mission..should you chose to accept it.
is to investigate.
We'll expect your report soon.

I usually get a bit scared when I see sudden pumps, but this seems tiny, so I won't worry. I've seen many cryptocurrencies get a sudden pump and then plop into nothingness. Do you think this will just help it go up faster in the long term?
