That China news has been put out of context, I mean they love blockchain technology so I can't understand why suddenly the price exploded because of that news. Maybe whales riding on that statement and others started to sell that news to newbies to FOMO again.
It really hard to explain what's the real causes of the spike, maybe it's the China new or not. But as you can see on the price, after the FOMO the price started to go down, and in the last couple of hours it tried to get to $9500 successful but it was not sustainable. Meaning the news has died down already.
