Coinbase Remains the Most Successful and Important Company in the Crypto Industry

On its 6th birthday, Coinbase received high praise from Shapeshift’s Erik Voorhees. He Tweeted, “Coinbase remains the most successful and important company in the crypto industry.” Arguably, that is very much the case. The San Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange with its barebone menu of offerings, combined with its easy user-interface and relatively smooth onboarding (almost no upfront deposit needed), provide an envious business model. That’s not to write the company is without faults, as it has many. It might not even be the future of retail crypto access, and perhaps it shouldn’t.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

As predicted yesterday, we touched the the resitance line around 3.25$ after a little correction on the support line in orange. It is again a 100% correct prediction.

Till now we are not able to break the resistance line at 3.25$ and I expect a consolidation before a second round more powerfull which will allow us to break one the line. Let's hope this will be a the resistance line but we cannot neither excluse a break of the support line in orange. Let's see the direction that the next break out will take my friends.
