Considering that each contract represents 1 BTC, roughly $137 mln worth of them changed hands yesterday.  

Bakkt sets a new record 

It is worth noting that the most recent all-time high dwarfs the one that was set on Dec. 19, 2019, with over 6,312 contracts.
   
Back then, the Bitcoin price recovered from its multi-month low at the $6,400 level, surging roughly 15 percent within 24 hours. 

On July 27, the Bitcoin price recorded a humongous daily candle after smashing through the $10,500 resistance. BTC touched $11,400, its highest level since August 2019.

More than $120 mln worth of shorts were liquidated on the BitMEX exchange during yesterday’s rally.

As reported by U.Today, multiple analysts now expect Bitcoin to turn the $10,000 level into support now that it finally staged a convincing breakout.
