According to David Lawant, head of research at FalconX, Bitcoin, the flagship cryptocurrency, recorded a whopping $46 billion in spot trading volume on Monday. 

This is the largest print ever recorded during a holiday/weekend, according to Lawant. Notably, this is also the fifth-biggest volume print of all time. 

Yesterday, the price of Bitcoin reached a new record high of $109,356. However, this rally was short-lived. The cryptocurrency ended up briefly retracing below the $100,000 level during the same day, printing an ugly candle on the chart.
