This is my twenty eighth day from the 30 days writing challenge I'm doing during January. Basically, I'm writing each day an article on a topic that I'm interested in, or something that I'm just learning. I tag these posts with #challenge30days, if you want to join, all you have to do is to use the same tag. Each day I will also pick 3 articles and give them a full upsteem. For all the details and the motivation, have a look at the [introductory post](https://steemit.com/steemit/@dragosroua/let-s-start-2018-with-a-bang-join-me-in-a-30-days-writing-challenge-during-january).

Bitcoin almost recovered last week losses and it trades close to $12k. Ethereum is posting double digit growth, aiming for $1200. NEM recovered surprisingly well after the Coincheck hack 2 days ago and it trades basically at the same level before the loss. Overall, market seems relatively strong on the bull trend.

# STEEM And SBD

At the moment of writing, STEEM was trading, on average, at $6.24 on Coinmarketcap, slightly up from yesterday, marking the third consecutive day of growth (in fiat). On Bittrex, the 30 minutes chart shows a downwards slope, from 54k to 50k satoshis.

The 1 day chart makes everything clear and puts the downtrend in context: it's the third day of correction against Bitcoin, but after a very bullish run 5 days ago. The correction is just about 1/3 from the gains.

## Overall opinion: STEEM and SBD both lost value against Bitcoin, while Bitcoin appreciated, in such a way that, in fiat, STEEM and SBD are slightly higher, or at least stable. It's a normal trend when BTC appreciates: value from alts go into BTC. The SBT to STEEM ratio is lower than yesterday suggesting that the "traditional" weekend SBD pump couldn't happen this time.
