> This is not a CCP supply/player demand problem. This is almost certainly a case of millions of Plex being taken out of the market in under a week, triggering a speculative momentum bubble that has not (as yet) had a Plex sale or other trigger to break it.

As noted in my previous post, almost 12 million Plex were bought out of the market at the lowest prices back in Nov.2018. This, along with the usual seasonal shortage of Plex, likely triggered the escalating price bubble in Plex.

However, unless that Plex was used to acquire 24,000 months of Omega time (or over 100,000 Skill Extractors), it is still waiting around to generate profit. As is much of the millions of Plex traded since the bubble began.

[Adam4Eve : Plex Market Details](https://www.adam4eve.eu/commodity.php?typeID=44992)

As can be seen, Plex has dropped almost 200,000 ISK, or nearly 5%, over the past 3 days. **Sell** volume has gone up, Buy volume down. People hanging onto Plex have already missed their chance to sell at peak prices.

We’ll see how this affects the ongoing market.
