Icons in Airbnb calendar - definitions please

Some days in my calendar have a squiggly arrow. While it may be obvious to the Airbnb engineer who designed it, its meaning escapes me.

 

Worse then that, there is no defining list in HELP. "calendar icons" "sqiggly arrow" bring no helpful hints.

 

When I search for my listing, it does come up. It is available. There are no "rule sets"

 

Anybody know the answer to this riddle?

Are you using Smart Pricing, @Paul154? To me it seems that the days whose prices are set by SP are marked in that way, those exempt do not have them:

They do it on purpose

I too am getting this as I try to change pricing for peak August month.
I don't think it is because smart pricing is on as I keep getting button asking if I want to turn it on. It doesn't seem to work. I followed the instructions to change pricing for specific dates, so am assuming that I have done it correctly and don't think that this symbol is that important.
But like you , I want a simple list clearly explaining the icons. It should not be hard

Yes, what does that symbol mean? Nobody seems to have figured it out on this thread yet?

The symbol/icon of the arrow with the slash through it means Smart Pricing is turned off. 

I have Smart pricing switched on and this morning that slashed through Smart Pricing symbol has appeared. How do I get rid of it, or does it indicate a problem at AirBnBs end?

@Brian2456 I think it means smart pricing is switched off for those days. 

But it is showing on all of our dates, and appeared without any changes from me.

@Paul154  I believe it means 'the price is higher above the price in the area' It has nothing to do with 'smart pricing on'.

This is based on what I was adviced by Airbnb in the past, but when you ask now , you get various answers as they appear not knowing either!

@Mischa7 

It means the Host has entered a manual price for the date(s) and that Smart Pricing is no longer pricing the date for you, since the Host manually changed the price:
