Earlier this month economics minister Johann Schneider-Ammann, made the case to journalists for Switzerland to become a major, “crypto-nation” as he arrived at a private crypto finance conference in the alpine resort of St Moritz.

The nation is keen to be a part of the cryptocurrency action, and one area the Swiss are very keen to develop is that of initial coin offerings (ICOs).

ICOs form the financing drive that allows cryptocurrency start-ups sell their tokens and raise funds to develop further. Early investors potentially win big if the solution grips the market.

The FT reported last week as the ICO industry grows in Switzerland its business-friendly reputation has in the past been damaged by tax scandals.

These scandals have cemented a bad reputation for Swiss banks and finance firms allowing wealthy clients to evade tax.

The market around Bitcoin has been relatively measured through the first two weeks of 2018, as last weeks close was at roughly similar levels to where we were three weeks ago. As the market has forged ahead, Bitcoin traders have competed to determine a direction to start the year, and this dynamic provided the opening for a round of sideways price action as bulls and bears wage a battle for control.

As we enter this week, Bitcoin price is struggling to remain on the topside of a classic triangle formation, and if we see a break to the downside early in the week, it could prove to be a crystallizing event foretelling the re-emergence of bearish control on the ultimate direction of the price of the popular cryptocurrency.

Last week, there was a significant development as we saw a move below the 50-day moving average on a daily chart, and the lack of support at that level could be interpreted as a clear warning sign for traders
