Nope. Mr. Manip only strikes twice in a row. The third time would be otherwise too easily predictable

I expect next wash-rinse-repeat cycle from him in no less than 6 weeks - like when the memories of his distinctive pattern will have faded enough.

I tend to agree with you on this, except for the timeframe. I don't think it '6 weeks' but more based on support levels. 115-120 with support will trigger him again.
This week will probably be slow; people waiting to see if it's 'dumping sunday' again
