Except in [[immediate addressing]], the most significant bit of the data located at the effective address is moved into the [[negative flag]], and the second most significant bit of that data is moved into the [[overflow flag]].  BIT is often used right before a conditional branch instruction.

BIT is a 65x instruction that performs a logical AND operation between the accumulator and memory without storing the conjunction. If the conjunction is zero, the zero flag is set, otherwise it is cleared.

Except in immediate addressing, the most significant bit of the data located at the effective address is moved into the negative flag, and the second most significant bit of that data is moved into the overflow flag. BIT is often used right before a conditional branch instruction like BVC or BVS.
