Notcoin Price Tumbled as Pavel Durov Faces 12 Criminal Charges
According to the official press release by the French judicial authorities on August 27, 2024, Telegram founder Pavel Durov is now facing 12 serious criminal charges. Durov was arrested last Saturday evening at Le Bourget airport outside Paris, which sent shockwaves through the tech and crypto communities.
The 12 criminal charges include complicity in managing an online platform for illegal transactions, refusal to cooperate with authorities, possession and distribution of child pornography, drug trafficking and possession, facilitating unauthorized access to data systems, organized fraud, and criminal association for serious crimes.
Additionally, he is charged with money laundering linked to organized crime, providing unauthorized cryptology services and tools, and importing cryptology tools without proper declarations.
Amid this report, the Notcoin price plunged to $0.0086, registering a 25% loss within 72 hours, while the market cap plunged to $887.2 Billion.
NOT Price Nearing Major Breakout
For the past three months, the Notcoin price has witnessed a steady correction trend under the influence of a falling wedge pattern. This chart formation is characterized by two converging trendlines that serve as dynamic levels of resistance and support.
If the legal saga surrounding Pavel Durov continues, the NOT price could plunge another 5% to breach the lower trendline. A bearish breakdown from the wedge pattern will intensify the selling pressure and drive a 42% fall to hit $0.046 support.
The altcoin is currently challenging the lower boundary of the Bollinger band indicator, which accentuates that sellers dominate the price movement.
On the contrary, the falling wedge is typically a pattern signaling a trend reversal, presenting a new breakout opportunity. If the support trendline holds, the Notcoin price could rebound and potentially breach the overhead trendline. The post-breakout rally could renew bullish momentum and set a target of $0.018.
