the fact that it is rising while all other coins are tanking is kinda odd, either something nefarious is afoot or else you are right and it is self correcting from those couple errors in judgement, I really hate the multipools for that very reason by the way. if they held and sold for the selling prices to get more money for the miners it would defeat some of the destruction they do to the market and the miners would get a bonus on their payback, so it would be win-win, but the multipool owners and miners are too short sighted for that.
