Yep, seen this too and the only thing this remembered me on was MT.GOX they had the same pattern with the Willy bot.

Looks like a broken API connection by coinmarketcap to ripplecharts.com to me...

I'm not sure what the other pictures from BTCUSD charts/markets should have to do with Ripple?

This is manipulation of available supply. In terms of price, before the pump occurred, there was almost no difference.

(and inputting coinmarketcap.com)

Like in April the price was .005 BTC and now it's 0.009 BTC, so Ripple hasn't even doubled in price. Most of this recent price gain is because people think Ripple is exploding due to all the faking and manipulation so they are frenzy buying / pumping.

As you tend to delete your posts, here's the answer to another, similar post by you that I wrote today:

Ripple capitalization is just heavily manipulated because they have Gliss on coinmarketcap fiddling with the numbers to make it look bigger than it really is. Remember when Gliss used to accurately report the number of available Ripple Coins? What made him changed his mind? Did he receive a Ferrari as a birthday gift? Possibly..

(8 billion Ripple coins back then compared to 30 billion Ripple coins now)

2 months before that:

~100 billion XRP (just like now, see http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/views/market-cap-by-total-supply/), compared to ~30 billion XRP not at RippleLabs.

Because of that ("OMG Ripple = evil, so many coins + premine!") Gliss implemented a check for distribution values which scrapes web sites. Ripple Labs first put on their page (https://www.ripplelabs.com/xrp-distribution/) that they owned 80 billion XRP and handed out ~8 billion of these (June: http://web.archive.org/web/20140625224750/https://www.ripplelabs.com/xrp-distribution/), this is what Gliss put on his page. Some time later RippleLabs put on their page that they owned 80 billion XRP of all 100 billion XRP, handed out ~9 billion and don't own ~29 billion of all the XRP (October: http://web.archive.org/web/20141007095332/https://www.ripplelabs.com/xrp-distribution/) - hence the spike in "market cap of coins in circulation".
