There was a guy on facebook, he said miners are staging a hashpower-styled coup, apparently miners will be moving to BCH and that will pump BCH up to $6000. This was before BCH started gaining. We(the group) collectively ridiculed him and he was banned from the group. Now this happens..
It is definitely weird. Hashpower doesn’t determine price. It is the other way around. If miners arbitrarily decide to shift, they are only decreasing their own profits. So no coup is possible, at least with bitcoin cash.
Miners are handling transactions, they can slow down bitcoin network, if they are a big group with big hash power. Maybe this is just some coincidence, we can't believe in everything we see on internet. Maybe someone is just pumping the price and spreading rumors to lure other people, price is 800$ if its some pump soon we will see a big drop, if not then something big is happening and maybe that can have some connections with miners that changing teams.
