Bitcoin Falls Below $81,000; Binance Spot Price Was $80,930 at 5:57 p.m. ET

A Binance spot-market price captured for this report put Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, at $80,930 at 5:57 p.m. ET (21:57 UTC) Oct. 27, below the $81,000 threshold.

Fifteen minutes earlier, BTC was $81,061, making the latest reading $131 lower. The earlier price stood $61 above $81,000, while the latest quote was $70 below it. Those readings place the move through the threshold within the 15-minute interval.

BTC's one-hour change was +0.19%. That figure covers a longer comparison window than the 15-minute move, so the reported measures point in different directions: a lower latest quote over 15 minutes and a positive change over one hour.
