Can someone explain this shit to me. The price looks stable. Then someone buys ~600 BTC on Bitstamp. Then OKCoin crashes. Why?

Does the price swing confuse the bots?
Does the price swing trigger trailing stops?
Did the pump and dumper's target price get hit?

I've seen this happen before and it does not make sense to me:
bullish market ∧ large buy → panic selling

Panic selling or taking profits on small dollar differences on margin?
