Bitcoin Tumbles 6% After Hitting Record High as Mounting Sell Orders Cap Price Gains

Bitcoin's new all-time high at $69,200 on Tuesday was short-lived as heavy selling pressure sent the largest cryptocurrency tumbling below $65,000

Bitcoin (BTC) tumbled about 6% from its new all-time high on Tuesday as heavy selling on crypto exchanges capped the price surge beyond $69,000.

The order book on crypto exchange Binance showed large sell orders clustered at higher price levels, with over 300 BTC, worth about $20 million, to be sold at $69,000 and more than 500 BTC for sale at $70,000.

The selling pressure posed a significant barrier to bitcoin’s price, sending the crypto lower. After briefly notching an all-time record of $69,208 at 15:04 UTC, BTC tumbled more than $1,000 in a minute and then dropped to as low as $64,700
