Do Amazon bots react to you putting things in basket and then removing?

in Shop but don't drop
Hi,

I am watching a particular item in Amazon, last remaining and it has fluctuated in price current being £180 to a high of a few weeks ago of £260.

I have put it in basket a few times and then deleted, and price seems to be coming down this last few weeks.

Just wondering if anyone knows, do the Amazon bots who set the price, react to a customer placing things in basket and then removing, accounting for the price fluctuation, from day to day?

Definitely no other marketplace seller is matching or near this price on item.

Thanks

    it also checks other retailers prices , normally if Tesco direct dropped the price by 3200 they would match
