Bitcoin fell for the first time in eight trading sessions as speculators sought a respite following the recent rally that pushed the largest cryptocurrency beyond $50,000 for the first time in more than two years.

“Bitcoin has gained 10% over the last five trading sessions and 15% the last month,” said Teong Hng, chief executive at Hong Kong-based crypto investments firm Satori Research. “Hence speculators are taking some chips off the table. I expect the correction to be shallow, and 45k to provide solid support for BTC.”
