Need more categories. It’s irrational, of course, but not to the extreme that we’ve seen in the past.

It is “rational” only from the perspective of those who are manipulating the market to the upside. Low volume indicates that not many people are buying into it. The up move is not sustainable and is irrational for the most of us. I am glad to see that your survey reveals this truth,
