There is a reason conspiracy theories are so common nowadays and that is because by nature humans are very good at finding patterns, in fact we are so good at this that we see patterns everywhere, even where none exist, and this can be easily seen in our ability to recognize faces, in which something as simple as this:

is recognized as a smiley face, then it is not surprising that every time the market suffers a setback, a portion of the community believes it is because someone pushed the price down.
People are good at finding patterns in a general sense but are generally crap at finding patterns when it comes to markets hence why most people lose money when trading.
And no, people are actually surprised when markets dump. If they can always foresee it, then most people shouldn't be frequently getting burned.
