1. We could have a nice bull flag forming on steem right now, if it does bust out the top this should provide enough volume to push us through the longterm supp/resist line. Currently we see higher highs and lower lows within the flag
2. unlike most of the market, steem is holding well against the complete market crash. I believe this is due to Steem already having its major correction. We are still about 90% down from ATH, reaching a low of about 100% before recent pumps
3. Steem has use. either on steemit, or dtube (youtube-like platform). In addition to use, users can also "lock" steem in a wallet for use on these platforms, leaving a smaller supply and sell pressure on dips. This can ultimately lead to gains back towards the ATH
