Technical Analysis of BTC/USD for 12 February 2020

Crypto Industry News:
The Ukrainian Ministry and the Committee for Digital Transformation of Ukraine have just published the most reasonable and reliable crypto-regulatory policy for public Blockchain and Proof of Work (PoW) mining on the ground.

Regulatory ministries came to the conclusion that the Bitcoin protocol and enforced consensus rules are sufficient to regulate onchain activities because network rules are enforced by the protocol itself, node operators and the social consensus of the users themselves. Therefore, it does not need government supervision or intervention.

Ukrainian officials understand that Blockchain technology is self-regulating due to the use of open-source protocols and open network access, which allows privacy and free flow of resources, secured by a decentralized network, cryptography, PoW system and social consensus.

Instead of micro-management and blatant regulatory requirements, Ukrainian officials focus on developing state policy in the fields of digitization, digital economy, digital innovation, e-administration and e-democracy, and the development of the information society.

The regulatory policy of Ukraine is trying to revive participation in the creation of virtual assets, blockchain and tokenization, artificial intelligence and other technological innovations.

It is a breath of fresh air that shows that Ukrainian officials actually understand the no-impediment and open public Blockchain chains.

Trading Recommendations:
The market might have made the first impulsive wave up of a higher degree. This strategy is valid as long as the level of $7,582 is not violated. Nevertheless, the larger timeframe trend is still down and all the shorter timeframe moves are still being treated as a counter-trend correction inside of the uptrend until the level of $10,278 is clearly broken.
