Monero volume/price can be whatever 'The Team' want it to be dude because it's all through Poloniex which is obviously 'on side'.  The basically 0 volumes through the big exchanges like BTER and Bittrex should be showing you that no one in the market actually wants XMR outside of Polo, take that out and demand is basically zero. i don't like saying that, but seeing so many people here blindly throwing money, and all the pious statements from the XMR camp that seem obviously hypocritical to me, it should really be said.  if you don't agree, i respect your opinion, it's fine with me.
