many factors that affect the price of Bitcoin, among others, supply and demand and government regulations and incidents related to crypto then it affects the price of Bitcoin.

I think the main factors in the formation of Bitcoin's price are demand and supply, which are affected by news: experts, the government of different countries and everything that affects the legalization of BTC.

in the reality there are three factors that affect the movement of bitcoin, including:
1 Volume And Bitcoin Distribution
2 Speculation of Trader
3 Fraud Mode Involving Bitcoin
the rest you can read on the link

Factors that can affect the price of bitcoin there are many but the most influential is the supply and demand. That is, if many users who make a bitcoin purchase then the price will rise. Vice versa, if many are selling bitcoin then the price will fall.
there is another bad news to bitcoin that eventually makes everyone panic selling bitcoin. maybe that's what i know

Well, at first demand and the supply greatly impacts the Bitcoin. Then comes the rules and regulations of the government of different country. The other factors include- scalability, volatility, manipulation, etc.

I think the primary factors in the development of Bit coin’s cost are request and supply, which are influenced by news: specialists, the legislature of various nations and everything that influences the authorization of bitcoin. This is the common rule of any market that affects the price. Moreover the amount and distribution of bitcoin is the another factor. Trader speculation can also affect the price.

The main reason behind high price of bitcoin is it's sky high demand. All over the world bitcoin is the most preferable bitcoin. And as it is the first bitcoin it has created its own brand.

I think many other factors that affect the price of bitcoin among others supply and demand and government regulations affect the price of bitcoin. Moreover the amount and distribution of bitcoin is the another factor. Trader speculation can also a greatly impact of bitcoin.

I think the following are the impactors of bitcoin price...
Animal Spirits,Political Risk,Regulatory moves and Bitcoin governance.

The most direct factor affecting bitcoin is market sentiment. When market panic spreads, there is usually a lot of selling.

The most direct impact on the price of special currency should be supply and demand. If a large number of new investors enter the market, the price of bitcoin will rise rapidly in a short time, just like last December. The recent market downturn is due to the lack of new capital to enter the market.

There're different criterias which effects the price of bitcoin. Firstly, the the supply and demand of bitcoin plays a great role. If demand increases the price aso increases. There're different FUDs which also affect bitcoin

Bitcoin prices create a great impact on cryptocurrency market caps. When Bitcoin price dumping all others altcoins prices dumping respectively. Bitcoin prices show red signal all others altcoins prices show red signal.

the impactor of bitcoin can be governmt plans or act on it differnt intellignce services are try to shut the bitcoin market all this and few oy
thers are impact on it.

It is difficult to determine the exact price of bitcoins, but I think there are determinants or signs of bitcoin prices, and I think they are usually bubbles, once the bubble rises, it will surely be followed by the price down, as well as news from the country or also the influential person in This world.

Well the only thing that affects bitcoin is supply and demand like any other commodity. Bitcoin in the market is limited, it is expected to rise in value. But because of fud, fake news, regulations from government which scares investors away and cause panic selling of bitcoins makes the bitcoin demand down and supply up. The moment this happens, this will drag the price down. Also, there are whales who owns a whole lot of bitcoins and plays with the market by selling a bunch which hurts the price so bad.

Basically bitcoin market is driven by the forces of demand and supply. However, the demand and supply forces are also dependent mostly the news, whether good or bad news. When there are good news about bitcoin moving around on the internet and social media, people begin to develop strong interest in buying bitcoin. The reverse case also affects the price of bitcoin.

1. Law of supply and demand. (Number of bitcoins in the market and in circulation)
2. Volume of trades
3. News
4. Speculations
5. Whales manipulation

Almost the same factors with the others in my own point, these are the things that what gives bitcoin a wave for its price.

There is no science as far as the factors affecting bitcoin's price.  I'm not an expert in economics of finance by any means, but I have observed that bitcoin is very sensitive to rumors and bad news.  Good news like when Overstock.com started accepting it tends to get absorbed pretty quickly, but negative events (or the possibility thereof) and uncertainty definitely play a role.

As of right now I cannot figure out why bitcoin has dropped so drastically in the past couple of months, since there hasn't been any bad or even lukewarm news to account for it.  People just seem to have got their fill of it and we're in a lull.  So if you are looking for factors to analyze, I would say keep your finger on the pulse of how people are feeling about cryptocurrencies in general.  There doesn't seem to be much else to look at.
That seems to be the majority of what accounts for price fluctuations.

factors that greatly affect the price of bitcoin is the demand factor. where as more and more bitcoins are used then the price will increase and as fewer are attracted to bitcoin the price will decrease. that's why the bitcoin price always fluctuates every time.

This was helpful, myself have also been trying to figure out the price determinants of bitcoin

Yep majority as is.

Correct, if the demand goes high and people are buying bitcoin then it makes the price fluctuates higher. But expect that this won't last as there will be swings that will come. If bitcoin won't fluctuate or it will only move with a positive line, it won't be the best coin of all.

The science of bitcoin is not so easily understandable, sometimes I am rellying only on my intuition and luck even.

Very fast price movements occur because many people are afraid of losing profits quickly and if we ask who those people are big investors who keep some of the money in a very large capacity in bitcoin. And that becomes a benchmark for an increase or a decrease in prices.

Almost all of us are afraid to loose profits but selling isnt the only solution to our problem because if we did sell we will only help bitcoins value to go down evenly. thats why if i were you i would not sell my coins , instead i will just wait for a while , i will wait until bitcoin reaches again its new ath which is 19 to 20k usd and i guess that is the perfect time to sell because the value is verry sufficient to inflict sudden changes or further price fluctuations.

You may add the regulations, upgrade or innovation overall, cryptocurrency bans, fraudulent news, hacks and phishing sites, downtime, sometimes other cryptocurrencies may affect the bitcoin price, P&D groups, hard forks because it is free money and a lot, you can check these points from the history of the coin itself the rest has already been mentioned tons of times on the other thread.

The exact reason is not concluded but some major reasons are, Bad rumours in Crypto investment and panic selling. Most of the peoples are investing in last dip so it will growing continuously In the market but some issues are occur again so again panic selling in market. So I hope this will going to peak in future.

There are many factors which affect bitcoins price but mostly i think when demands are high then price will be increased and when demands are low then price will be decrease. ???

Bitcoin is increasing day by day whatever I think the primary factors in the development of Bit coin’s cost are request and supply, which are influenced by news: specialists, the legislature of various nations and everything that influences the authorization of bitcoin. This is the common rule of any market that affects the price. Moreover the amount and distribution of bitcoin is the another factor. So invest money in btc is great idea for new investors.

There are many factors that affect the price of bitcoin, the most simple is the supply and demand, the supply of bitcoin is fixed at 21 million coins however not all of those coins are always up for sale and the second factor is the demand, the demand can change very wildly in a matter of a few hours that is why you can see drops in the market of 10% in less than a day.

Bitcoin is improving day by day and its innovation really helped it a lot on attracting more investors and to become more influential in different part of the world. Investing on bitcoin is one of the best thing you could do right now since its value has become more expesive nowadays. It is not too late and you should not hesitate anymore about investing on bitcoin, do it while you still can.

You have enumerated the major factors that leave deep impact on the bitcoin prices. If we look at the prices of bitcoin two months ago, they were soaring because there was less demand of bitcoin. People were getting rid of it just because of continuous decrease in its values. Now when the prices have started recovering, people are buying again increasing the demand. All other factors also contribute to all this.

You guys nailed it!

I agree that bitcoin is improving thanks to the efforts done by the developers but the big problem is that many of the people that should benefit the most from investing in bitcoin like poor people do not know that bitcoin exists or they are simply too afraid to invest in it despite all the benefits they could get by investing in it and that is a shame since they could change their life by investing in bitcoin before the price goes up.

Yeah, and the thing here is that even though a lot of people keep saying demand and supply which is the normal economical stuff we all know, but what we really need to know is what drives this? Certainly, we cannot say usage, because virtually everyone is investing and the percentage of people really using bitcoin as a currency is low, and to me, presently, it is just all about the whales and traders doing their thing and nothing else.

Well, it is a market and it is more like an auction market with all the traders bidding which all balls down to how high demand is as compared to supply or vice versa. However, news and some other few things can have an effect on how traders perceive the market at certain points in time.

So, one may actually want to be looking at that aspect as well. Regulation is just one of the few things, which to me, I do not even believe should really be a lot of issue anyway.

There are a lot of things that are doing the whole thing on the market. But the basics are simple and pretty much the same as in all markets  it is supply and demand. if demand is high then prices rise, if demand is low, prices fall. Also in my opinion on this market a strongly influenced have founding father of bitcoin Satoshi himself. No one knows who he is and that's why I think It has a great influence on the whole market.

And this volatility made bitcoin lucrative than ever and this is what gives people some thrill and chill. Well I guess nobody wants a stagnant price like it will be boring tho as gold and there's nothing tangible that czn gives us a profit within a year.

Btw, fuds is also a factor however this is being use by whales to manipulate the price.

There are so many factors that can influence the price movement of Bitcoin, in fact that a large majority of Bitcoin prices are demand factors. When more and more people need Bitcoin, the price of Bitcoin will increase and vice versa, when the more people start leaving Bitcoin, the price will decrease. This is a scheme that is certain and cannot be denied that the support of all of us will determine the direction and future of Bitcoin in the global market.

Yeah there are many aspects that affect the bitcoin market and news will also affect traders and then impact on the market.
especially when we are often exposed to negative issues and news. of course that makes the market more chaotic some time ago

I think that being the impactors of the price of bitcoin is from the increasingly high demand, from the demand taker it will make supply very limited and make coin prices have the movement of up and down the price of bitcoin.

There is so many impact that affect bitcoin price. For example fake news, politics and many more. So just keep holding it until the price is upper than when you buy so you can get a big profit

Fake news, FUD government regulations are some of the news that has negatively impacted the price of bitcoins. And it trickles down the investors who panics and sold off without really investigating what's the cause of the declined.


Supply and Demand is just an off shot of this negative news I mentioned above, obviously if there's positive news demand will increase resulting on the price moving up, while a negative news will have a bad effect as traders is influence by it to sell bitcoins.

Positive news is something that can increase the price of bitcoin, if the ETF results are positive maybe the price of bitcoin can recover quickly. At the moment there is too much negative news that makes bitcoin prices fall.

I think that the main factor is the manipulation of crypto-millionaires. All the news comes out at the right time, it's a lot like collusion. Autumn is a time of good news, the price of bitcoin will grow. Crypto-millionaires are already well prepared for this moment.

Because Bitcoin is decentralized so the one that affect the price is only supply and demand, but there are factors that caused the supply and demand rise and fall, there are news, market manipulation, the proposal rejection, hacking, fud news and others

Of course  the supply  and demand are primary factors that dictate bitcoin price and of course it is driven by some external factors like the issue of security such as hacking, this causes  uncertainty to the mindset of the investors.
