I have paid attention to upvoting...

for example when I upvote some peoples post the price goes up..

and when I upvote some other peoples post the price goes down...

and sometimes it doesn't move at all....

its little complicated if anyone with more knowledge can help so i can understand whats up!

It has to do with the Steem Power of the people voting. Someone with a lot of Steem Power carriers more weight and influence with their votes than someone with little Steem Power.

i know that but the thing is that why it goes up and down... thats what i dont get it...

Because the value of the tokens is determined by the exchange rate of STEEM, thus if steem is rising or falling on the exchanges then the value of a post will also rise and fall depending on how much steem the post has earned.
