Does anyone have the reason for the banding pattern that is shown in the image below? IT is like this for quite a few time-points. It pattern is consistent overt time so I don't believe that it is due to sales? If there were regular sales on the item you may expect it to show as fluctuations over time. They seem to be evenly spaced and there are usually six clear bands. If anyone knows what the reason for this is let me know as it seemed interesting to me. This plot was taken from this notebook and was item no 706016002

You can notice that the prices are on a logarithmic scale, this will also reduce the difference between prices

I think so, I will impose some lines over the image later and see what the they correspond with in terms of discount!
