Bitcoin prices rose Thursday, but the cryptocurrency hung below $8,000, highlighting a fallow period for the asset that has traversed its longest stretch without marking a fresh record in two years.

According to Charlie Bilello, director of research at Pension Partners, 173 days have passed without bitcoin reaching an all-time high, which it last accomplished in mid-December. Since then it has tumbled by about 60%. As the chart below indicates, that marks the longest stretch without a fresh record since the 1,176-day period that ended in the late summer of 2016.
