$TIME is the most oversold coin.

Located in the accumulation zone 53-57.
Could pump hard 🚀🚀
I am buying some.

A few key points about the project:

1. Founded in 2016, Chrono.tech operates the biggest crypto freelance platfrom - LaborX. Seems like there're some special perks for TIME holders.
2. Token is already listed on tier-1 exchanges, including Coinbase and Kucoin.

3. In the near future the TIME token will be listed on two top exchanges.

4. TIME-30D Fixed Promotion on KuCoin, APR of 72%! WOW😳

The price stabilized at around 53-57, looks good for a medium term holding.

P.S: Not financial advice.
