The quote was $185 lower than the $81,106 reading from 15 minutes earlier, a drop of about 0.23% across that interval. BTC was down 0.60% over one hour.

The earlier reading stood $106 above $81,000; the latest was $79 below it. Together, the two observations bracket the threshold crossed in the 15-minute period. The two listed prices differ by $185, consistent with a move from above the $81,000 mark to below it. The $80,921 figure is a point-in-time quote from Binance spot, not a combined reading across exchanges or a daily close.
