Bitcoin price has slipped back toward $85,500 on Oct. 6 after another rejection near $87,000, leaving buyers defending a dense support area while the market sits roughly 32% below its record high exactly one year later.
CoinGecko data puts $BTC near $85,500 at the latest reading, with a 24-hour range of roughly $85,010 to $86,662 and a market value close to $1.72 trillion. $BTC reached its $126,080 all-time high on Oct. 6, 2025, leaving the current price 32.2% below the record.
The pullback followed another attempt to clear $87,000. The crypto has tested that area several times since late September without establishing a sustained break, making the narrow range between low-$83,000 support and high-$86,000 resistance the main technical battleground.
