Bitcoin (BTC) has been trading upwards. The price tested the level of $18,408. South Korea's government released emergency measures for cryptocurrency regulation on Thursday. Bitcoin exchanges will now be regulated. Among other measures, there will be a ban on banks, minors, and foreigners trading cryptocurrency as well as a clampdown on virtual bank accounts needed to trade cryptocurrencies in Korea. Technical picture looks bullish.
