someone is waiting for order books to be filled before placing another big sell (or buy) order which will cause the next price jump.
^^ this.
right now the market is not at all healthy. it is empty of real traders and is only filled with the manipulators and the bots running short term strategy scripts to make 0.5%-1% profit.
this will go on unless we go below or over a major price that can trigger come back of real traders. in my opinion these two prices are $5900 and $8000 respectively.
