I'd suggest you look at the volume and liquidity of those dates with comparison of prior trading, and for if which was weeks/ months prior with the knowledge you have provided as to the push upwards,

although it fed the speculation on each end of the sp pump and dump, the push of liquidity came first trading dayin the weekend after from that article. This puts more enthasis on a spec punt than investors coming online. I have a good risk appetite and wasn't going to invest money down due to that price spike after the article.
