USDTRY - Did Turkey's Central Bank do this?

2022年10月13日

I have really never seen this before so maybe you guys can shed some light on it. The price made a sudden dip to the 16.5 level and then went right back up to the median price. When i zoomed the chart out i could see that it dipped right to a key support area so could Turkey's central back have done this? As you all may know, the Turkish Lira has shot up due to Turkey's sky high inflation of 88%. The president (who actually controls the central bank directly) is adamant about lowering interest rates even more, even while his country is experiencing rocket high inflation.
