The action today could push those 'fake' sellers up more. The number of buyers continues to swell, and the sellers are diminishing. If we take out the 4 mill 'fake' sell orders, that leaves 2.3 mill buyers to 0.7 sellers. That's over 3x ratio and a real move upwards could be on the cards here.
You're right, what a position to be in with 2 majors interested in our wares. Bidding war anyone?
