Loss and rating change

Can someone explain to me why I just lost 55 rating points for one loss?

I would understand if the opponent was rated 800, but I was rated 1395 before this loss and the opponent had around 1200 (see picture above). I have played more than 100 daily games too, so I just don't understand this.

Previously when I lost a game against someone rated roughly 200 point below me, the rating change was around minus 20 points - see the picture 2 below.

So can someone explain why I now lose 55 points for a single loss? Seems a bit too much to me!

Nevermind, I read an article about it and I guess it makes sense.
