my usual theory is that the CFD companies are at play

scenario
great stock
lots of buyer confidence
time to play
offer CFDs on it then

sell highly leveraged CFD from 6 cents all the way up
naive punters set trailing stop losses at 5%

CFD sharks are out of the money big time
but not to worry

market goes a bit quiet
time to start selling down
it only takes a few sells to trigger stop losses

price falls CFD sharks take your money and some

reload and repeat

im not worried
good time for me to buy
