BTC Rebounds Above $86,000

A single print back above a round number after a soft stretch says more about positioning than about demand — thin books make these reclaims easy to achieve and just as easy to give back. What matters is whether the level holds on a closing basis and whether the bounce broadens beyond the largest asset, since a lone leader recovering while the rest of the market lags tends to fade. The open question is whether this is stabilization or a pause within the same weakness.
