This market mechanism is getting more complicated, besides demand and supply I would think of "manipulation/speculation" as one major factor of this hike too.

And it's easy to speculate on the future price considering the pattern that has been established, as much as I would like to see the speculators lose their butts, the chances of that happening seems very slim at this point.
