I wouldn't read much into it.

Volatility has been through the roof lately for almost everything, including Berkshire.

Consider:
From a year ago till the end of last month, the average B-share daily trading range (high-low)/midpoint was 1.41%, maximum 4.20%.
Month to date, the average has been 3.61%, maximum 9.04%.

Just imagine if you knew what time each day's high and low were going to take place...

The weighing machine will be back at some point. At around $795k per share, that may not actually be good for Berkshire's price for a while, but it's how things go.
