Bitcoin again challenged $85,000 after a failed attempt to break the resistance level at the end of the previous business week triggered an approximately $2,000 decline within minutes. The cryptocurrency recovered part of the loss over the weekend and returned to the same threshold on Monday morning, despite a development that had been viewed as positive for risk-on assets failing to produce the expected market response so far. The latest test follows Bitcoin's earlier rise toward $86,900 after it broke above the $82,000-$85,000 range. Makrovision had cited improved price action after consolidation below $65,500 and a break above an initial descending trend line. Markets continue to assess Treasury yields, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF flows, Federal Reserve policy and broader risk appetite.
