What happened on January 21? Lots of players, including me, saw their level (bullet) drop terribly. I was constantly evolving between 1800 and 1900 and now beating someone who is 1750-1800 has become very difficult !
Maybe you got re-indexed ?
On more than 300 games played between January 21 and 27 I almost lost 200 points.
A trend I observed in the curve of some players as well.

Ever heard of the chess boom?
Boom is the sound of someone losing 200 rating points online.
Your rating graph looks perfectly normal.....

What happened with Gliko on 18th Oktober?
It seems like all 1900-2100 rated players were playing so loose that you could easily "farm" them and managed to achieve your peak rating? A trend observed for that day is just a straightforward up!
Still, you choose to keep that secretly for yourself instead of informing everyone in forum. So selfish! Maybe someone else would find this information useful to make points- profit as well? :D
Honestly, it just looks like you have had a bad phase last weekend and lost confidence/trust in yourself. Then, everyone you get paired with feels like is playing much stronger. Besides, it is pretty normal to move around +/-100 points in ratings especially in those fast paced time controls. Indeed, as you say, such kind of fluctuation can be observed in the curve of most players.
Nothing to worry about: if we deserve a certain number, we will always be back.
