Mt5 the spread being stuck at 50???

 
When I was first with MT5 and trading gold the spread would flux from 24 -75. I left Mt5 for Mt4. But now I am back with MT5 because of the move. I don't understand why the spread was fluctuating for weeks now for the past days since last week it is 50. Is my MT5 app messed up?? I don't understand what is normal, but before spreads would change before. Any answers??? 

The lower the spread the better you can tread I assume??? I really don't understand. Maybe some can tell me what is right.
