It's happening again. Clark Moody's site is still streaming all the trades, it looks to be 10-15 minutes behind (Gox lag, maybe)

Theory: Someone with lotsa bitcoins wants to see sustained strong growth rather than short-term wild swings and has decided to push the price back down to $500.  Their purpose could be to increase the probability of eventual adoption.

It isn't a smart way of doing it. Looks like it spooked the market.
