Bitcoin’s recent rebound lost momentum Wednesday, with the cryptocurrency trading near $66,737, according to CNBC. The digital asset remains well below its October record high above $126,000 and is down about 47 percent from that peak.

The sell-off intensified earlier this month when bitcoin fell under $70,000 and briefly hovered just above $60,000, a level seen by traders as critical support. A wave of forced liquidations on Feb. 5 accelerated losses, though that pressure has since eased.

Market volatility in U.S. technology stocks and uncertainty over monetary policy under President Donald Trump’s administration have also weighed on investor sentiment. Outflows from bitcoin exchange-traded funds added further strain, though inflows have returned in recent days.

Some analysts say the traditional four-year bitcoin cycle remains intact following April 2024’s halving event. Industry executives told CNBC they would not be surprised to see prices test $50,000 before stabilizing later this year.
