Someone or something is controlling its price, the speed at which Ectos went down is not normal and let me explain why:
I’ve been observing the prices for a couple of weeks now, and some weird stuff happened. First, they were being sold for, let’s say 30s, someone who wanted a quick sell would put a lower price, the obvious one would be 29s 99c. This happens very often, ppl selling for 1 copper less than others, but what happened FREQUENTLY, was ppl selling from 40c to 1s lower, but not a huge Ecto dump, just the ammount enough to make it stay as the lowest for like 5 minutes (i noticed ppl doing this for an ammount of 40 ectos to 50 ectos), why? People who wanted quick sells and didn’t watch Ecto prices would sell for a couple of copper less, so the price would be sustained in the earlier advertised. And this kept going on for a week now, price was stable, someone sold ectos for 1s less, the total price would go down by about 50c and so on.
So today, the price went to its lowest, or the price the manipulator wanted, so they made an enourmous dump, to make the price stable.
The big question is, why are they doing this? I imagine that if they stop controlling it and make HUGE buy orders and stack Ectos, the price will go up again, back to the 30s something. So a dump would make them millionares.
