That's pessimistic and I don't see why a correction was due. Never know with Darkcoin.
It was due in the sense that day traders buy and sell on cycles. In particular the 4 hour chart - which has a period or about 2 days for DRK - is a favourite for them to buy in and dump on.
Yesterday was a clear dump opportunity as far as that cycle went. Around midday Sunday it was clearly heading down but it balked just as it was about to turn over. May be just co-incidence but it happened right when people started posting all those screenshots of the DRK market on Bitfinex.
All I'm saying is that that is a fairly huge rumour now that will backfire quite significantly if it turns out to be no more than that. You start rumours like that and it basically becomes fact quite quickly. Then when the truth behind it emerges (e.g. there are no plans at all to incorporate DRK) you end up doing more damage than you would have just by shutting up.
That's a big assumption, but IMO there is currently less day trading going on with Darkcoin than with other alt coins. Moreover, with the last "dump" there are now more investors who are in for the long term, and less weak hands. Therefore, a rise is not necessarily followed by a correction, at least not for those values.
