I'm still fairly new to this but I saw the price jump about $20 from 580 to 600 really quickly because it looks like an unusually large number of coins are changing hands…is this considered a pump and dump?  Could other factors explain this fluctuation give that the price has been comparatively stable lately (albiet in a slowly downward trend?)  Thanks in advance…

no, just a pump. you can only call it a pump and dump after the dump. you might call this a dump and pump though. and it could be a dump and pump and dump.
One hoarse laugh is worth a thousand syllogisms.

It was just impatient buyer who paid market price instead of waiting for bids to be filled.
