Market Pivot or Market Manipulation? Why not both!

The elephant in the room first - Why do I keep bringing up these charts? Well they are acting a weird way. and weird stuff tends to mean something is happening outside of the norm.

We've started to see a rapid decline in active shorts on Bitfinex, which coincides with a bounce in btc price.

If we look back at the last two spikes - We see clear patterns in each. It seems once the direction is decided it has been more or less fully playing out with very little in the way of overall variance.

That said, we have a sample size of 2 and they've gone different directions each time: not exactly the most definitive scientific study I've ever seen without a doubt. But there definitely seems to be something going on here.

The hyopthesis here is that we'll see a movement play out similar to last time. Though with seeing longs start to climb now, it could be a very interesting out come.
