Any good news as I see the price went up to $2.7

It's 2.34 on Bitfinex - not sure where you're seeing 2.7??
It's in limbo at this point - exhibiting same pattern as earlier this morning - huge shift (downward or upward) followed by arbitrary stagnation or pigeonholing by someone (probably margins guys) and then it dumps.
All in all - it takes a few hours before anything moves. Still waiting on anyone to explain to me what they enjoy about this coin to decide whether it's a hold or a short term. ZCash right now is moving up so I'm debating on how to shift over.
