My guess is a) it was someone with an insider information who knows some major fix/event is coming up or b) Trolls realized that their FUD isn't working and the price won't go down any further so they decided to buy in before the world finds out about InstantX
It will take more than that to get a rise out of this languishing market.
Everything's dead in crypto. I don't mean in activity - plenty development going on - but the markets are absolutely inanimate across the board. All the bubbles have burst and coins are compressed to their core valuations. Doesn't matter if it's DRK, BTS, NxT, LTC, MAZZA you name it.
What we need is for some small oil producing country's balance sheet to blow up due to excessive corporate defaults from margin calls on drilling capital. Then have that provoke a panic reaction from governments who start imposing capital controls & bail-ins followed by a flight to safe-havens.
That should do it.
