IOTA unveils blueprint for Coordicide
IOTA has launched a website for Coordicide update and revealed a blueprint for the Coordinator removal . It's an important step for the company as it confirms its commitment to decentralization and scalability principles.
"Removing the Coordinator from the IOTA network will realize a long sought after goal in the field of DLT: scalability without centralization. The solution itself is inherently modular, meaning that users will have ultimate freedom to tailor the system to their individual needs. Its implementation will be a major milestone in the IOTA Foundation's goal of creating a truly enterprise-ready DLT," the company wrote in the accompanying blog post.
IOTA's technical picture
Looking technically, IOTA may have a hard time taking off from $0.4300 level. The way to the North is packed with important technical barriers including a host of SMA (Simple Moving Average) levels and the middle line of 4-hour Bollinger Band. A sustainable move above this area will open up the way towards the next bullish aim of $0.4670 (the upper line of 1-day Bollinger Band), followed by psychological $0.50.
On the downside, the nearest resistance is created by the intraday low of $0.4180, which is closely followed by the lower line of 4-hour Bollinger Band at $0.4160. Once it is cleared, the downside is likely to gain traction with the next focus on psychological $0.40, strengthened by SMA50 and the lower line of Bollinger Band on 1-day chart.
