More records for Bitcoin in weekend trading and earlier this morning

On Friday Bitcoin did manage to eventually extend its record breaking run and make it above 77k for the first time. BTC peaked at 77,272 later in the US session, after the European close. The price action over the weekend has seen it push close to 80k on Sunday morning, peaking at 79,773 initially before rising again later that day. Bitcoin then lifted to set a high at just above $81k before another relapse below 79k kicked in. However, it has jumped again today and reached a new record high earlier, at $81,891. It had dropped back a bit now this morning, but remains camped above 80k for the time being. Once again the reader is reminded of the underlying trend and the many calls for BTC to reach $100k. It is currently trading at $80,875
