Bitcoin Pulls Back to $122K From Recent Peak, BNB Coin Hits All-Time High: Check Cryptocurrency Prices Oct 8

The cryptocurrency market this morning consolidated after Bitcoin created a fresh record this week, crossing the $126K mark for the first time in the history of crypto trading. Other altcoins also jumped following Bitcoin's path. Ethereum jumped above $4500, while other altcoins also extended major gains.

"Bitcoin eased to $122K after reaching a record high of $126K, with around $470M in long positions unwound as leverage adjusted across the market. The move appears to be a healthy short-term correction rather than a trend reversal. On-chain data suggests some profit-taking by long-term holders. While altcoins may experience mild consolidation, the broader market structure remains constructive as long as BTC holds above $120K. Traders are likely to watch leverage and liquidity levels closely. Meanwhile, BNB set a new all-time high, overtaking XRP and USDT to become the third-largest crypto asset." as per the CoinSwitch Markets Desk

Bitcoin Price Today

Bitcoin price today is at $121,788.23 after slipping 2.405 in the last 24 hours. Over the past day, BTC has dropped 2.15%, while weekly and monthly gains are 2.65% and 8.67%, respectively. At present, Bitcoin dominates the cryptocurrency market, holding over 40% of the total crypto market cap.

"Bitcoin is showing resilience, recovering to $122,200 after briefly testing the $120,600 level. Investors turned to minor profit booking after a 12.5% weekly gain in the asset. However, strong institutional appetite continues to support BTC, helping it sustain momentum and recover quickly. For now, $124,600 stands as an immediate resistance. If BTC breaks this level, a move towards new highs near $129,000 is likely, while $120,000 remains as a crucial support point." said Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex.
