Seeing as how the Devs have been generalky nonexistent, none of the initial investors seem to know what's the reasoning, there has been no announcements or activity on Twitter or otherwise, it is very safe to assume this is a manipulation. The questions are these: will this pricing sustain itself until the next release of mystery timing, or will it drop as people understand this isn't real movement. Does this help or hurt overall confidence in the coin? And is this the endgame from whoever was pressuring the price down the past weeks and accumulating, or is this the beginning? It's anybody's guess, but, yes, it is very unlikely there is sudden quiet interest in this coin. Another guess is that someone tried to push the price down below 1000 sats and realized there was not much to accumulate at that price, so they moved it to a price early investors might be more likely to let go of coins for. As time goes on, this coin gets harder to read, especially with Devs that seem bothered by the idea of communicating clearly with their investors.
Speak for yourself....the devs have a low priority or even care about market movement. They didn't premine this coin and enrich themselves and nearly 100% of the coins went to the initial investors. If you know crypto, anything is possible...look at pascal coin, namecoin/pivx recently...there was sudden interest lately. The great thing about spectre is that it doesn't require hype or devs responding to every slack posting....once the product is fully completed I believe you'll hear from the devs more often. None of the ico investors have raised any issues in a private slack....My advice to you is to stop speculating and grab some xspec.
