Don't know if anyones mentioned this or not, but maybe all the buying that would normally be taking place right now is on hold because they are waiting to see if they win their bid, if they don't they will go back to buying. So, if im right, that means after the bidding is done, we will see a massive spike because the big buyers will be back to buying and not trying to win that bid that costs millions of dollars.
If they do NOT win the bid, then it is probably pretty likely that the money that they had for bidding has been allocated for BTC purchasing.
