what is a "fake" pump? Over 200 bitcoins were consistently purchased per minute for 15 minutes, for the second half it consistently came up against buy walls, though I guess I don't know who set up the buy walls. Do you mean it was one manipulator setting up both bids and asks in a tight range?
Maybe? Yeah the buys went through, but the ask sum took no hit despite an apparent purchase of over 2k BTC? Doesn't make much sense. Bid sum rose while ask sum remained constant

Looks like one whale wanted to push through the trendline with a bit of volume, but a bigger whale absorbed it all. Market is not going higher with this kind of money capping the price.
