Not a single purchase of EMP S ammo in metropolis for a whole day?

As it stands, the proximity of the metropolis trade hub, Hek, to faction warfare grounds makes the trade of any sort of frigate-usable module or ammunition extremely fluid.

Today, however, as i reviewed the price history for EMP S ammunition, i discovered a rather peculiar event - on 25th of March, 2014 not a single purchase of the aforementioned ammunition has been made throughout Metropolis. This event has been offset by a massive spike in purchases of Phased Plasma S ammunition (one million units sold compared to average 200k) and a spike in trade of Fusion S too.

What got me to post here is my absolute amazement of the event with its drastic contrast. Is this a reflection of a shift in meta game? Different flavor of the month ship demands a different damage type to approach it? Or just a peculiar incident?

The meta doesn't switch on a whim like that.
Seems to me like random chance, nobody needed EMP S for that day.

Did you check faction EMP S?

I see it every once in a while where there is 0 volume on something. I cal it a fluke as typically I'm selling that item and sold or bought that item.

On the FW side of things Amarr is dropping in tier, not sure if Minmatar is moving forward but that would explain the purchase of phased plasma and fusion. Were there any large purchases of the antimatter recently? Something that would show it being moved elsewhere. Neither Amarr nor Minmatar use antimatter in their ships that receive bonuses. Not to say that those pilots wont use a different faction frigate to do their pew pew.
