Bitcoin news, the cryptocurrency’s price trades above $27,000 for
the first time in weeks. BTC recorded a 2% profit in the last 24
hours and seven days, while the price of Ethereum leads the
incipient bullish momentum. Shocking Bitcoin News For Traders On
Binance According to crypto report Colin Wu, the price of Bitcoin
crashed on the trading venue from its current levels to as low as
$2,700. As seen on the chart below, and unlike previous occasions,
the crash took place on different occasions. The incident was
recorded at 16:17 UTC+8 time on the crypto exchange’s perpetual
futures platform. One of the most popular trading instruments on
the crypto exchange, its CEO, Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, responded to the
incident. Via his personal X account, CZ said: Root cause
identified, some new code caused it. Need to revert and fix data.
Engineers say 1hr ETA for fix. So, expect 2hr or so. In a previous
tweet, CZ clarified that a problem with the display for the trading
pair caused the issue. The User Interface was unaffected, like the
APIs connected to the platform. Thus, fortunately for traders on
the platform, the incident failed to trigger any stop losses or
margin calls for the BTC/USDT futures positions. This is a display
ONLY issue. Trading not affected. https://t.co/ZixcFVcxQU — CZ 🔶

On the other hand, despite this Bitcoin news, the BTC price seems
to be stabilizing around $27,000 and could potentially flip this
level as support, allowing for a bullish continuation. A pseudonym
crypto analyst claims that the cryptocurrency remains below the
20-day moving average and 21-day exponential moving average.

Leading Analysts If the cryptocurrency can reclaim this territory,
then bulls could have a shot of returning above $30,000. Looking at
potential clues that could hint at further profits, the analyst
said: Bitcoin Open Interest came down a lot as price held steady. I
said it yesterday but I’ll say it again, it’s looking a lot
healthier than any prior dumps. This does not mean this can’t go
down obviously. It does make it less likely to see these volatile
up and down moves. Cover image from Unsplash, charts from
