Despite attempts, BTC failed to surpass the US$27,000 level again. The current support for BTC rests at US$26,200, with resistance at US$26,600.

Vikram Subburaj, CEO of Giottus Crypto Platform said, «US SEC's recent crackdown on Binance and Coinbase has reinstated fear in the markets with top altcoins like ADA, BNB, SOL and MATIC declining by more than 10% in the last week. Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to hold their levels as a safer hedge for investors. We anticipate more volatility in the upcoming week as the US Fed decides on interest rate hikes.»
