Shady pumping? I usually see people only complain when the price gets dumped down. 

Mind to explain what makes you think the pumping is shady? All I have seen so far is regular fomo activity combined with short squeezes. I can see how people get the impression that there is something shady going on with big green candles popping up out of nowhere, but it definitely isn't shady or manipulation.

As for my view on the price, I will remain neutral until we either make higher local highs or lower local lows. It feels good to just sit back and wait for the pop, regardless of the direction it ends up popping to.
