Cryptocurrency Market
Crypto markets, especially exchanges, took a significant dive this week due to a new regulation announced by the People's Bank of China. On the 24th, the spot prices of BNB, HT, and GT all saw a significant drop. The prices of major cryptocurrencies such as BTC and ETH also saw a decline, particularly BTC has seen a plummet of 4.58% in a single day. From a technical standpoint on the daily chart, BTC is still hovering within the Bollinger bands and has not broken the lower limit. For the time being, the new regulation hasn't caused a ripple effect on major cryptocurrencies.
On the 29th, the BTC momentum index has seen a minor increase. CCI and ROC both got rid of the slump of the previous days and started to rise, and a reversal trend is starting to emerge from a market pattern view. Since the 28th, the price of GT began to pick up, returning to within the bounds of Bollinger bands. The CCI has also returned to the normal fluctuation range of -100 to 100. Although GT and other CeFi tokens are still showing weakness on the trend indicator level, a rise in the momentum index may signal a reversal.

At the CNBC Investor Summit, Katie Haun, General Partner at a16z, a VC firm, commented that the crypto coin industry is not really against regulation, but does need clarity from regulators. Global regulators need to assess the fact that we have moved beyond a purely financial use case in cryptocurrencies, and therefore regulation cannot simply be a one-size-fits-all approach. Haun also noted that the SEC's position in the traditional financial industry allows it to regulate a large part of the industry. But in reality, there are increasingly more areas within the industry that no longer fall under the jurisdiction of the SEC.
