Bitcoin retreated for the first time in three days as traders begin to reduce their risk exposure with this year’s record-breaking rally drawing to a close.

The oldest cryptocurrency fell as much as 3.4% to $95,110 in New York on Thursday. It reached a record of more than $108,000 on Dec. 17. A broader gauge of cryptocurrencies comprising smaller tokens including Ether, Solana and meme-coin favorite Dogecoin was down around 3.5%.
