Today’s topic is IOTA and our analysts took a deep look into the coin that wants to be in the internet of things, and found a lot of promise–as well as a few reasons to worry.

IOTA’s Price Action Analysis
Sure enough, IOTA’s price also seems to be struggling and December and January rallies weren’t able to bring it to the key resistance level and 23% Fibonacci of 0.00011. Even worse, two weeks ago the IOTA/BTC pair broke below the daily Ichimoku cloud. We’re now waiting for the 5th Ichimoku moving average, the Chiko span to break below the cloud as well to confirm a longer-term bearish period. For now, The pair could be headed towards the lows of 2018 and October 2017, at 0.00006.
Now I’d like to hear from you. If IOTA does drop to these low levels, do you think it would be a good time to buy? Or would you stay away? Once you’ve subscribed, head over to the comment section and let me know.
