The fat fingers thread
That looks more like a 'Fat Finger' the difference is usually a bot going wrong causes the price to go up and down rapidly as someone/another bot takes advantage of it.
Whereas a fat finger is a single misclick so you get the spike out back to normal quickly after.
Peter has done a video on creating a fat finger bot which can just be left in the background all day or even 24/7, it won't trigger often but when it does it can bag a few quid

Based on that one and previous one, it does look like someone has a setting, on a selection, to hoover up current prices mid day, Lay @9.0+
Possibly they feel the selection can't win and then back it In-Play for a set profit. (some form of a L2B set and forget strategy)
