Betfair chart / Betfair graph of the day
A lot of the time horses are just getting to their correct price, especially in handicaps
But it seems in 2yo races these flucs are way overblown as they think 'someone' knows something even when you can tell in the parade they are unsettled and/or not fit enough they will still back them because they will follow the money before anything else...

In addition to what Naffman has just said about the race types one of the biggest factors in exaggerating moves in recent years is likely to be attributed to 'bots'
Once something starts even from a 'false' move bots quickly take over and create a domino effect as they start triggering each other

Couldn't tell you. There's a multitude of reasons. Market activity is comprised of a number of those reasons, sometimes they conflict, sometimes there is a dominant factor e.g. price is incorrect, connections fancy it, some geezer looking to chase back his £25k which he's just lost on the footy, or my favourite reason: No reason at all (purely random)
Market activity is the most accurate information you have access to, and what you should base decisions off
As for why it happens -- who cares

Liked that one, laid it around 7.8!
...and with a specific reason in my choice of laying
To return to the discussion about reasons for big moves, I can see the view that it might not matter, though I always carry an assumption that knowing underlying reasons (even partially) might help in future predictions, at least possibly...

If you look at the big trade in the dip on the -9 min chart then compare that to the post chart you can see that the same trade has moved towards the left and now sits near the second axis mark at the bottom. Gives a bit of a clue but I imagine the scale means nothing more than a visual guide really.
