As you can see, there is an extreme spike in price which makes it difficult to view the rest of the chart, as it causes all of the price action to be confined to the upper end of the screen. How can I get around this issue?

Also, as a separate question, what caused this extreme drop in price?

That is very scary for us mere mortals here. No matter what we do , how well we do, we never know when such a crash is going to happen exactly, and what is going to be its magnitude.
