Confusion w/ changing fare classes

Good morning, i've been looking at flights LGA->BTV for the better part of a week and was ready to pull the trigger on them earlier today.

I had been seeing tixx for $157 in fare class V. Now tixx are $188 in fare class X.

I totally recognize that flight prices change as more tickets are sold and we get closer to the date. What confuses me is that (per the seat maps) it doesnt appear that any more tickets had been sold in the meantime. The flight out is 100% empty and the flight back has all of 1 seat sold. Flights are more than 6 weeks out.

I'll buy the X fares if i have to but would prefer the V tixx if i can get them. Can I expect them to go back down? Is it possible Delta put 'cookies' on my cpu knowing that i'm looking at these flights and therefore upping the price? Could an increase in searches for tixx on this route for these dates cause Delta to raise the fare?

Or can I just wait a couple more days and hope for V availability?

Thanks
