🗞 Ethereum's Next Upgrade Could Be the $29 Billion Blockchain's Biggest Test Yet

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion
Here is the chart of yesterday :
Here is the current chart :
The resistance line in orange has been tested several times these last hours but we failed to break it. We should have a little consolidation just under that line or a little drop till the resistance line in red before a new test to try to break it. In the case of a drop, the resistance line in red must hold this correction or the Up trend of the last days will be cancelled.
