Today is a sea of red on coinmarketcap.com and the reason it seems is the news of Koreas number one exchange UpBit being raided by the authorities which seems to have caused widespread panic and triggered a sell-off.
According to sources the authorities have confiscated hard drives and other hardware with the intention of uncovering alleged fraud relating to the sale of cryptocurrency of which they are accused of not having.

Upbit confirmed this news on their website with the following:
"UPbit is currently under investigation by the prosecution, and we are working diligently. UPbit services such as all transactions and withdrawals are operating normally. Your assets are kept securely in your account, so you can rest assured that you can use UPbit services."

Despite the fact that we are experiencing a sell-off i think this could spur a bounce and even result in a test of the $10,000 psychological barrier in BTC, once people realise that this latest news is a nothing burger i would expect people to start pouring back in.
