Pairs' weekly ATR going down for a year?Good for CT?

[itsaquestion]

I occasionally found out that most pairs' weekly ATR are going down for a year, anyone could figure out why?
Is it because nfa regulation or some internationl monetary policy changes?

I think a lower and lower ATR is good for counter trade systems.

Hmmm... Interesting. Makes me feel like something exciting is about to happen. Kinda like a long timeframe consolidation before the next dramatic jump.
