Bitcoin Breaks Above $77,000 as Binance Spot Price Reaches $77,316

Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, rose above $77,000 to $77,316 in a Binance spot quote collected at 1:04 p.m. ET on Nov. 2.

A Binance spot reading 15 minutes earlier put BTC at $76,969, making the latest quote $347 higher. Over the full hour leading to the observation, however, BTC was down 0.26%. The two comparisons cover different windows: the 15-minute reading shows an increase into the latest quote, while the one-hour figure reflects the hourly change. Both numbers describe the same observation point, but compare BTC with different earlier times.

At $77,316, BTC was $316 above the $77,000 mark. The quote is a dollar price from one exchange at one stated time, while the 0.26% figure measures a change over one hour. This places the latest reading above the round-number threshold even though the one-hour comparison was negative. Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
