I think this is the effect of information that the co-founder of bitcoin.com-Mr Emil Oldenburg, who has sold all his bitcoin, stated that bitcoin is a worthless asset and invested his money in BCH.
lol, nope. I don't think anyone cares about what these guys do to a level of impacting the price.
Looks more like insider trading:
1. difficulty adjustment has always been a dip for btc
2. sudden investment/pump in bch and shifting a few hours before...
3. coinbase surprise activation
This is crazy, it just shows that crypto trading is really unpredictable.
I think if you were a whale, this would have been known. They clearly knew about coinbase. If this were stocks the feds would be swooping right now.
