Around 250,000 verge were stolen by the attacker, forcing the project team to prepare a hard fork.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

We haven't been able to stay upper than our support line in red. The break of that line created a pull back and we are now consolidating on the MMA20. You can see in the little green circle a DOJI. This pattern is showing a pause in the drop and a possible change of direction. If the drop stops at this point, we will go test quickly the resistance line in red. However, a break of the MMA20 and MMA50 (violet line) will send us directly in the direction of our support line in brown. The coming hours will be important to follow...
