LOL. just because someone fails to look at all the charts and this is the first time they see a rise it doesn't mean 10% rise in a couple of hours (not 30 min) is a price manipulation! this is actually quite common with bitcoin and basically any other market that when price starts to move upwards and breaks a major resistance ($6800 in this case) investors gain some confidence and start buying it up leading to a bigger rise.
now bitcoin market being smaller than traditional assets with their huge markets means the rise that bitcoin experiences is a little bigger than usual.

I also find the whole thing contradictory. when you start things off by saying it was price manipulation then go ahead and say things are looking good you are just contradicting the first thing you said.

I think the article is just quoting everyone who has said anything about the price no matter what side they were on!
