Bitcoin (BTC) attempted to rescue $27,000 support on March 28 as dust settled on United States regulatory action against largest exchange Binance.

“Today, the CFTC filed an unexpected and disappointing civil complaint, despite our working cooperatively with the CFTC for over two years,” he began.

Trader Crypto Tony meanwhile added that BTC/USD had succeeded in holding its short-term trading range.
