Skyscanner Price Alerts Pushing up Price?

I travel the same route often and no the sweet spot time to book for cheaper fare.

But this time I was planning on booking earlier (4months early) but price was still to high by few hundred…

So I thought my try the alert function.

Every day I look at the Price change emails with the fare shooting up more and dropping a little but still about 400 more than normal..

Has anyone else noticed a fare going up when getting alerts? With the same theory of if you search a route too much manually or different sites it goes up and up.. Being that skyscanner will search same route daily so the airline maybe thinking ins a popular route with there algorithm .
