Bitcoin Slips Below $86,000, Still Up 0.86% on the Day

The headline number understates the picture: a break below a round level while still positive on the day points to intraday volatility rather than a directional shift.

For traders watching momentum, that divergence between the level and the daily change is the thing to track.
