Oct 09, 2018 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

IOTA has been consolidating around $0.5 for over a month, and Monday showed a 5% surge to test $0.6. However, it’s still stuck below the daily cloud on the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo technical indicator, while supported by $0.43, which is the low of mid-August 2018, and near the all-time low levels.

An alarming Bloomberg BusinessWeek report last week claiming that major American corporate giants were under the Chinese government’s surveillance via a minute chip implanted in U.S. hardware, took the country by storm.

Oct 09, 2018 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

Well, now that it has been pretty much achieved on a global basis, the cacophony of their remorse is going to be deafening.
