Binance US has steep discounts on BTC, ETH and even USDT is sold at $0.88. But it concerns only trading pairs with USD, which cannot be brought to the exchange, and the reason for the discounts is the desire of users to withdraw the remaining USD from the exchange while it is possible 🤦‍♂️.

Long-term bitcoin chart. The classic corrective formation has been broken as well as previous times. Everything is ready for growth either from the current or through another stage of localized decline.
