STEEM Monthly Charts: October, 2025 - Does another ugly month signal a coming turnaround?

September came to a close on Monday, so it's time for another look at the monthly numbers. In last month's post, I asked three questions:

1. Will STEEM's monthly close in September be above or below the August close ($0.130205)?
2. Will STEEM's price on December 31 close over or under the January close? (If it's below $0.258505, "As goes January, so goes the year?" will be true.)
3. Will STEEM's price (US) Memorial Day, 2026 closing price be over or under the closing price on Labor Day, 2025? (Labor Day's price was $0.12741.)

Here are the answers that were posted:

account	September change	EOY 2025 change	seasonal change	# Correct results
@massola	Up	Over	Over	0 / ? / ?
@remlaps-lite	Up	Under	Over	0 / ? / ?

Both guesses got the answer to Q1 wrong. Q2 and Q3 are still undecided. Based on today's price of $0.123, Q2 and Q3 are both presently in the "under" territory.

Now, let's move on to the results.

If I'm not mistaken, it appears that the September closing price of $0.117176 was STEEM's 2^nd lowest monthly close of all times. The only lower month was $0.099 in February, 2017, when the price was on the way to its all time low on March 10. All in all, this September was not a fun month for the STEEM investor.

Now, let's get on to the visuals.

Wrapping up

If there's any optimistic news for the investor, it's these two things:

1. After that February, 2017 low, STEEM's price came close to doubling in March of 2017, tripling by April, advanced by a factor of 10 by May, and increased by a factor of 49 within a year.
2. As we saw in last week's post, it seems that the last echoes of inflation triggered by the Q1 delisting of SBDs on the Upbit exchange have mostly settled down, and - starting in late July - the daily production of new STEEM is on the decline again.

Does this low also signal a turnaround? Maybe the 10% decline in September signaled capitulation? There's no way of knowing, but we can hope.

Finally

Here are this month's questions (just for fun):

1. October 31 closing price: up or down from September's close of $0.117176?
2. December 31: Over/under the 2025 opening price of $0.258505?
3. Memorial Day, 2026: Over/under the (US) 2025 Labor Day price of 0.12741?
