On the one-hour scale, Bitcoin price has seen nine consecutive negatives since 3:00 on the 31st, and the short side may hit the $33,858 price support point during the day. After 8:00 on the 31st, Bitcoin price protruded through the lower Bollinger band, and the spot price may enter an accelerated downward channel. RSI and MACD indicators collectively show that the market is bearish. By midday on the 31st, the short side still dominated the market.

In an interview with the Financial Times this month, Michael Hsu, the newly appointed acting director of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OOC), said he hoped U.S. officials would work together to set a regulatory scope for cryptocurrencies.

"How will Treasury identify, deter, and prevent fraud and scams in initial token offerings and in the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies in the U.S. financial markets," and other questions urging Treasury to take steps to protect investors.
