I'm almost 100% sure that someone just did a massive sell of their coins at a high price and purchased them back to make it look like volume was exploding. Unfortunately it did not have the desired effect and there is still slim to no buy support (.27 BTC sells gets us back down to the 5k range)

We cant "fake" our way to volume. We will just have to wait patiently for things to arrive that generate hype like WhisperSend and other features.
