People on the exchanges are just fucking with you as they have always done. They squeeze everything they can out of a price range and then push it up. It really is as simple as that as this point - despite what the responses are going to be to my post.

It is blatant manipulation both up and down. They take advantage of news headlines, etc.

The super majority of bitcoin are not on exchanges so, a tiny number of people with a relatively tiny amount of bitcoin are essentially dictating bitcoin's financial policy. Are the exchanges cooperating? Of that I'm not yet certain.

People put out bullshit soundbites and push disinformation here unlike most anything ever seen.

Think I'm wrong? That's fine. I humbly submit to you that is exactly what is going on.

Laugh at me and downvote me. Call me a conspiracy theorist or whatever. I'm used to it here.

Joe average IS NOT controlling volume on the exchanges. The people who's goal it is to steal from everyone are running the show.
