I have often wondered about this very same thing. It usually occurs on low volume markets or during quiet periods such as out-of-hours or holiday periods. Computer market-making (HFT) is most likely the reason of the pattern, kicked off by a single or small number of relatively large orders. I am guessing though.

Happy New Year to all at Trading Blox !
