So, I'm no market expert, but I was browsing eve-markets.net and noticed a curious thing about Isogen,
Approximately 2 months ago it's average sell order price spiked up to almost exactly 91.00 isk, and there its price has stayed, as solid as a rock.

Merged graph of quantity of buy/sell orders (red/green) + average sell order price (blue)

As you can see, over the last 6 months units of buy orders has been steadily increasing, units for sale has remained roughly constant, but the sell order price seems to be bouncing off a ceiling.

Not shown in the graph (see this link, history tab) is that average buy order prices have also risen by ~10isk in the last 60 days.

Any thoughts as to if this is a natural ceiling?, I personally don't give most highsec bears enough credit to think they know when to mine Omber and when something else is better, could there be another reprocessable item in play? Or is there a more simple explantion?

It's Pax Amarria was the Pax Amarria was it not? Each book broke down into some Isogen as well as the Nox.

I was wondering the same thing thins morning, just haven't had the time to dig through the numbers.

But there must be, cause it does look like a hard ceiling, and not simply a psychological barrier.

Yes, that definitely looks like a hard cap.

We can rule out consumer products, what else could it be?

True, but if people were still sitting on massive stocks of isogen from reprocessing Pax Amarria, would it really make sense to keep selling it at 91.00 isk now that that particular source has been removed? I would have thought most people would sit on those stocks and let the current mineral market panic drive the price up before dumping it for great profit.

...or mabey people are lazy. It doesn't quite make sense to me but yeah that could be it.

ISO has been up as high as 120 in the distant past. Considering the Pax onsualght, ISO has held up quite well and is now climbing, slowly, above the price that was set for it with the Pax. Still has some upside, but not as much as the high end laggards of the day.
