How can a bunch of no fee transaction attempts cause a $20 market price? It seems like the block would need to be full of transactions with high fees.

By increasing the size of the backlog, you make it seem like high transaction fees will stick around longer. It also exaggerates the immediate issue of bitcoins low transaction rate.
