Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $72,000, trading at $71,868 on Binance spot at 11:25 a.m. ET (16:25 UTC) Nov. 12. Bitcoin is the largest crypto asset by market capitalization.

BTC stood at $72,135 15 minutes earlier, making the latest reading $267 lower over that interval. At the same time, the quote was up 0.49% from one hour earlier. That leaves the two reported comparisons pointing in different directions: down over 15 minutes and up over one hour.

Both relate to the same Binance observation at 11:25 a.m. ET and should be read with their stated time frames. The key threshold in the update is $72,000, which the latest quote had moved below. The figures give a snapshot of Bitcoin’s price level and movement across two intervals.
