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

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD repeatedly testing the $27,000 mark overnight.

The pair had seen downward volatility the day prior as news hit that Binance was at the center of a civil complaint by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

The move unsettled markets, with commentators well aware of crypto firms previously targeted by authorities in the wake of the FTX debacle.

In a dedicated response to the complaint, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao dismissed the accusations.
