Bitcoin reached a new high of $76,848 on the morning of the 8th, after a brief downward correction following its previous record high of $76,422 on the 7th.

Over the past 24 hours, the crypto market has seen $335 million in liquidations, with over 93,000 traders getting liquidated. The open interest in Bitcoin has reached a new all-time high of $46.6 billion, which may signal increased volatility or a potential short-term top.
