Bitcoin is taking a pause following a sharp rise in recent days that saw it reach its highest levels of the year.

The largest cryptocurrency fell as much as 2.2% on Tuesday to trade around $46,908, its first down day in six. The drop follows a break-neck surge of roughly 20% since mid-March, which had helped it wipe out all 2022 losses and accumulate gains of roughly 2% for the year. And Tuesday’s downturn comes as U.S. stocks -- which crypto markets have largely moved in tandem with all year -- gained amid optimism for progress in talks between Russia and Ukraine.
