bitcoin is still new and lots of good and bad things have happened to it already and that has created volatility. Though they will be different good and bad things happening now than in early times the market should still be highly volitile.

But by bitcoin standards its flat. The chances of a price of around $250 +/- $30 as being some natural equilibrium is highly unlikely - maybe 1 in a 1000?

so does it mean the market is being carefully controlled by a few at least for a period?

anyone else suspicious
