Bitcoin Price Drops After Failing to Hold Above $85,000

WHY IT MATTERS

Bitcoin's price movements are closely watched because it is the largest and most well-known cryptocurrency. When Bitcoin tries to move above a certain price level and fails, this is called a "rejection" — think of it like trying to push a ball over a hill, only for it to roll back down. A "resistance level" is a price point where selling pressure tends to increase, making it harder for the price to go higher. A "support level" is the opposite — a price where buying interest tends to increase, potentially slowing a decline. These concepts are part of how traders and analysts try to understand market behavior, though no one can predict future prices with certainty.
