Bitcoin Falls Below $82,000 After Failed Push Toward $85,000

Bitcoin fell below $82,000 after a failed push toward $85,000, reversing Wednesday's rally. The decline coincided with weaker global risk assets. Derivatives volume rose 19% to $226.6 billion, while open interest fell 2.46% and liquidations climbed 52%. Altcoins fell harder, with Ether dropping toward $2,400. A later reading placed Bitcoin near $82,800, but the rejection near $85,000 remains key.
