Precisely. I think that incident is still fresh in a lot of people's minds, and buyers will now take that sort of superlative rhetoric as tapping down markets to make it suitable for cheap entry at dips. And it seems to have worked too... moving from ATH to near-$9,000 levels provided the perfect dip. Today it is back above $11,000 - that's an easy 20% profit, just to trade on the rumour they themselves sold.
Strong hands are getting fewer I guess, especially with some publicly cashing out to enjoy their newfound wealth. Good news to me anyway, cause I really need my 1 Bitcoin before the price goes to $15k!
