That FUD about them backing off did some damage though. It's a great example of how people react to bearish news in a bear market and at the same time how little or no effect have bullish news. You can put some unimportant bearish FUD and people start ripping their hair out, but when this gets busted nothing happens. People who sold are afraid to go back in because what if there's some new FUD and another panic. The strangest part is that people never learn and it will happen again in the next cycle.
The FUD really caused lots of havoc in the cryptospace. Thank goodness its been refuted and most definitely things should begin to take a new shape henceforth.
