Could that have been a result of also buying large volumes of the cheapest Zydrine off the markets, concurrently with buying back or cancelling their own sell orders further up the price chain? Especially if a substantial part of their own Zydrine was located in remote markets?

The purpose would have been to stockpile Zydrine, even at a loss, so its effect on the market would be unusual in characteristics, as not following rational demand/supply behavior.

In anycase, its clear that someone(s) with substantial influence had a sudden concerted interest in Zydrine, for whatever reason.


Again, unlikely, the only thing that would have actually significant impact on the price is the buying and selling happening at the current price. If I post up 10 trillion in Zydrine sell orders at a high price and then pull them off the market it has zero impact on said market, whether I pull the orders or buy them out on an alt.

The resulting speculation over the spike might have some impact but that wouldn't show up immediately, and the effect would be muted since high volume commodities like base minerals tend to be very responsive to changes in demand, so the impact of speculation on the market is fairly limited.

Also no, the behavior would still be following the rules of a supply curve, if someone is stockpiling at a loss to them that just shows up as an increase in demand thus driving the price up.
