has massive wicking. This hasn’t happened since early 2018. When these wicks happened in early 2018, BIG moves were associated with it. Every dump is being bought up, UNDER massive support. Every pump is being dumped, ABOVE massive resistance. The trend is your friend. That means … DOWN. is being held in place, in a very calculated manner, since we dropped. …Why? Especially when we have Mr. Big Bad Inverted . ( patterns typically occur when an existing downtrend has ‘lost’ momentum) (Key word ‘lost’. Haha. Ya.) This is for you. However, need to profit… So, which direction do they go? Well, according to my friend lines, this is it. We break either of them and you can trade accordingly. Up, long. Down, short. ez.

The People’s Bank of China is turning its attention Initial Coin Offerings (ICO), seeking to regulate the new form of crowdfunding.
China to Regulate ICOs
Although cryptocurrency on the big three Chinese exchanges, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) isn’t quite through with the cryptoworld. Now it seems like it’s going after Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), seeking to regulate the new phenomena in the crowdfunding world.
Weixin reports that Yao Qian, head of Digital Currency Research Institute at PBoC, has stated that the PBoC will soon regulate ICOs.

or ICOs are a way to fund projects or companies crowdfunding methods. This typically includes selling project tokens for fiat currency, bitcoin, Ethereum, and other popular cryptocurrencies. These tokens are usually required in order to use the platform or they can also represent equity through a dividend or buy-back program.
Current ICO Landscape
The news comes at a time where ICOs are extremely popular, gathering millions of dollars every week and amassing higher and higher market caps.
Most recently, the ICO, gathered $30million in a matter of seconds, while the Aragon project gathered $20million in roughly 15 minutes. The gathered over $53 million in the course of its month-long ICO.
While most ICOs currently take place through the use of the Ethereum network, other projects are also getting in on the action, as is the case of the Waves Platform, Wings DAO, and
Although some of these crowdfunding campaigns have had exorbitant returns for investors, many members of the community are also about the validity of some of these projects and if they are really worth tens of millions of dollars before having even built their project/platform or an MVP (minimum viable product).
Regulatory Clarity Could Boost Industry
Although the moratorium on cryptocurrency withdrawals has come to an end, the PBoC has that they are not yet done with bitcoin exchanges. Now, bitcoin miners in the country are their operations in fear of future regulatory pressure like the one applied to exchanges.
Some bitcoin miners in the Szechuan province, a place with cheaper electricity prices due to abundant hydropower resources, have decided to shut down in fear of regulation. One miner YiCai Global:
The price is so high at the moment. Shutting down costs mine owners hundreds of thousands of yuan every day.
In China, the pressure from the PBoC has resulted in a weakened bitcoin market, and may now also affect mining and ICOs as well. However, regulation can also be helpful. In Japan, the new regulatory framework built around cryptocurrencies has allowed their popularity to grow in the country.
Can the new stance on Initial Coin Offerings by the PBoC change the ICO landscape?
