DWAC traded about 4% higher earlier in the day before settling back to hover around the $94 per share "unchanged" level.
This was a significant change from last week when DWAC shares soared from $9.96 per share Wednesday to close to $94.20 per shared Friday, a staggering 845% gain in just two days.
Monday's trading volume was also lower for the so-called special purpose acquisition firm.
