transaction volume went up. the date roughly corresponds to the last peak of ~20k. high prices/volatility means more people rushing to transfer their coins in/out of exchanges.

People are panicking over Biden's ridiculous proposed capital gains tax changes. Everyone's panic selling and hiding assets.

2017 was the previous Bitcoin pump and panic.
