I think the recent pump was simply due to there being less FUD associated with Bitcoin than usual. There were no major happenings surrounding bitcoin at the time,
maybe YOU haven't been checking the media lately! the FUD is still strong if not stronger than ever! there has been a lot of new articles talking about how "dead" bitcoin is and how it will end badly and the bullshit like that. additionally we have had the situation in India which has been made so much bigger and more dire that it is in the past week.
p.s. it wasn't a "pump" it was a "rise"!
