I think STEEM will definitely set a new all-time high in USD price this year.
Traders typically like round numbers, your year-end price target may be a tad low in USD price, I was thinking this morning when your $2.80 USD target was realized that $5.00 USD is very possible this year with a target of possibly $10 USD next year (2018). Of course I think this is dependent on growth (new accounts).
The latest new account metrics in Daily Steem Stats Report - June 09, 2017 by @penguinpablo
This "new accounts created" chart shows another drop off after the latest surge of new accounts. Is another backlog of new accounts forming? Steady new account creation will be important to attaining new price targets in STEEM.
In Clif High's webbot, he predicted ebbs and flows in the price appreciation of STEEM with the price appreciation being related to new account creation. We will see if this pans out.
