I happened to notice that the number of new wallets jumped in the past two weeks from about 50K to 80K.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Someone trying to influence the exchange rate knowing that big a rise in these types of metrics tend to pull the price up as well?

One source of (legitimate) new users are from:
 - http://nzbsrus.com   <--- PayPal kicked them out, so now the only way its customers can subscribe is using a bitcoin.

This is not an insignificant number of subscribers.
