I feel the opposite though if STEEM price is less than I get more STEEM power.
For example if STEEM is 1 USD a post of 10 USD will give me 10 STEEM but if STEEM is less than 1 USD I will get more STEEM power for the same 10 USD post.
I negated the curation on both. Plus right now I only want to power up atleast untill I reach 1000 SP. That's my goal for now.
