I wish I knew. We haven't broken much over $450 (been hovering $440) for weeks now. Maybe it has to do with the $30 million dollar investment into bitpay? I mean if they bring brick and mortar stores into the bitcoin marketplace, this is going to explode.

Someone suggested that Coinotron had a 51% mining share of LTC.
Other people suggested bullish news from China.
LTC pools are still finding blocks, no bullish news from China. No one knows.
My guess is a small whale'ish correction to fit the small uptrend from May 11th, as no news really back up the pump

True, good point! However I think it's something other than BitPay procurement? |

If there is no news driving this then I would guess its just more manipulation of the market... Its hard to tell which exchange is driving it because of the algorithmic trading / automatic arbitrage. The black boxes so far have been pretty biased. They prop the price back up on sell bursts and let it rise quickly on buy bursts. Basically every illegal trading scheme in traditional exchanges is fair game in Bticoin and Bitcoin is not large enough to even by mildly resistant to manipulation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithmic_trading |

BTC-e current price index @ $447.04 Stamp @ $456.74 Is it rebounding back down, and us select few over reacting ?  |

Market manipulation.. by.. who?? Benefiting... who?? A dip after a rise is totally normal, whether or not the price continues to rise or falls down later. |

A whale (person with a lot of bitcoin/money) starts a buying frenzy, other buyers hop on board, then the whale dumps for a profit. Rinse and repeat. Making this potentially market manipulation by a whale (although I hope it is the beginning of a true rise) |
