The 3 main driving force behind such price fluctuations are mainly due to:

1. CME Groups entering the crude market.
2. CBOE playing around in this unregulated space.
3. Increase in hedging by the whales (also known as market manipulators)

There's nothing really we can do about preventing it now. We either have to ride the wave by taking advantage of the sieve curves or get rekt eventually.
