Bitcoin slides back under $79,000 as selling pressure returns.

Bitcoin has dropped below the $79,000 mark, giving back gains made in recent sessions and signalling renewed selling pressure across the crypto market. The move puts the $79K level back in focus as a contested zone that bulls have struggled to hold.

At this importance band the price action is notable but not yet a structural break — traders will be watching whether BTC can reclaim the level quickly or whether the dip attracts further liquidations. Broader macro sentiment and equity market direction remain the key short-term catalysts.
