EOS never-ending problems
It seems that dreams for free or next to free EOS transactions will never come true as network block producers hoarded the most of RAM resources, engineering a sharp cost increase. RAM prices grew four times in just a single day and peaked at 0.088EOS per Kb, which means that a user needs to pay about $30 to create a new EOS account.
EOS technical picture
Looking technically, EOS/USD failed to stay above $9.00, which is now plays a role of resistance level. But the fact taht the price is still above $8.00 may be interpreted as a positive signal. EOS corrected from overbought condition, but the selling pressure may take it further down to $8.4 (100-SMA, 1-hour chart) Once it is broken, the downside may be extended towards $8.00. On the upside, keep an eye on $10.00 and $10.23 (200-DMA).
