- Bitcoin broke its all-time high today.
- It slumped back down by 2.3%.
- Analysts say it may take a few weeks for Bitcoin to enter true price discovery.
Bitcoin reached a new all-time high price of $69,255 on CoinGecko today before quickly dropping back down 2.3% to $66,700.
The top cryptocurrency’s previous all-time high of $67,617 was notched in November 2021, according to the price aggregator.
Bitcoin made new highs on some exchanges like Coinbase on Tuesday before immediately plunging 14%, causing $1 billion in liquidations across the crypto market — the largest liquidation event since the collapse of FTX in November 2022.
Analysts subsequently told DL News that Bitcoin would likely reach true price discovery in a matter of weeks. Open interest remains high, meaning that volatility is to be expected.
