SEC Sends Wave of Subpoenas to ICOs, Including Overstock’s tZERO

On Wednesday, the Journal report stated that “scores” of subpoenas and information requests were sent out demanding details about the structure of sales and pre-sales of ICOs. While the article specifically mentions that the SEC has declined to comment and cites nebulous anonymous sources, the probes reportedly sought the subpoenas and requests from tech companies and advisers involved in the digital tokens market.

THE CRYPTOCURRENCY TECHNICALS

  • BITCOIN RESISTANCE:  Bitcoin finally fought through the old resistance level of $10,000.  Looking ahead, an upward sloping channel points to $11,800 as a near term target and hence the next level of resistance.  If bitcoin can break that level we could be setting up for a move back to the all-time highs.
  • BITCOIN DOWNSIDE SUPPORT: Downside technical support for Bitcoin is now at the $8,600 level.
