Bitcoin buyers took some profits after the cryptocurrency reached an all-time price high near $68,950 on Wednesday. The cryptocurrency is down about 2% over the past 24 hours and could find lower support around the $56,000-$60,000 price range.

The relative strength index (RSI) on the daily chart is at the highest level since Oct. 20, which preceded a near-10% drop in BTC’s price.
