Bitcoin rose to around $87,000 after sellers partly filled their orders at $85,000 and pulled the rest. That left little sell-side resistance between the two levels.
Why it matters
The move shows how a change in available sell orders can open a path for price. Bitcoin did not have to absorb the entire $85,000 wall: some of those orders disappeared from the book.
Market impact
Price has reached the next cluster of sell orders near $87,000. That cluster is about half the size of the old wall, making it the immediate level to watch for how buyers and sellers respond.
