Crypto Industry News:
The Taiwanese electronic giant HTC has launched its new smartphone Exodus 1s, enabling users to run a full Bitcoin node on mobile devices. HTC released Exodus 1s at the Lightning Conference in Berlin and began selling the first devices during the event using the Lightning payment network, the company said.
The new Exodus 1s is a cheaper version of the pioneering HTC Exodus 1 with Blockchain technology, which has recently added Bitcoin Cash support. The company claims that the new device at a price of 219 euros can be bought with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Binance Coin and Bitcoin Cash.
In addition to offering buy, sell, send, receive, trade and borrow options, HTC claims that Exodus 1s is the first smartphone capable of supporting a full Bitcoin node.
The product will initially be available to users in Europe, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, while other regions will have access to it at a later date, the company noted.
Phil Chen, Director of HTC Decentralization, said full nodes are "the most important component of Bitcoin network resilience," noting that by introducing Exodus 1s, the company lowered the entry barrier for each person to launch the node and participate in a global network.
The predecessor of Exodus 1s, Exodus 1 and "the first native Blockchain phone" was announced for pre-sale on October 23, 2018, and was available in 34 regions, including the US, UK and Hong Kong.

Trading Recommendations:
Due to the short-term impulsive scenario invalidation, the best strategy in the current market conditions is to trade with the larger timeframe trend, which is still up. All the shorter timeframe moves are still being treated as a counter-trend correction inside of the uptrend. When the wave 2 corrective cycles are completed, the market might will ready for another impulsive wave up of a higher degree and uptrend continuation.
