STEEM Trading Update by @cryptopassion

We just broke the resistance line on the STEEM :

It is a very good sign for the STEEM. We should use the resistance which is now a support line to continue the BULL trend.

A little consolidation is possible on the support line before going to test the previous TOP that I traced you in green.

"Indian Banks Suspending Bitcoin Exchange Accounts." This is really a bad situation for the Indians.

And for the overall market. One more country fighting AGAINST the Crypto World...

Those governments are only going to harm themselves and thier own people through damage to the local economy (projects moving out, locals losing jobs, and projects not moving in) and through the cost to people under their rule losing out on investment opportunities.

I strongly agree but these developments can not prevent the crypto world from growing.
