That just shows the gap bewteen 5th and 6th.

How are hourly sales calculated then? Is it not just how many units it sold in the past hour?

No, all these numbers are going through some smoothing function (simplest way https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average ). Otherwise random noise would bounce stuff around like mad.
