Bitcoin Forum

I read some news this last week, and there is some indication of wash trading and spoofing going on, so the prices are dropping.

Do you think this is the reason, or the movements of the market are normal ?

Well this what I think(Thibk because I do not know and I am still not sure if this os the main reason) and from what I know that I read before  

1. When market price increases it will poop from top to bottom
2. That is because of the people who buy and sell, in short trade it.
3. The people who hold different coins.


Plus it is like demand and supply

Main reason is that US Department of Justice is doing an investigation of price manipulation like fake volumes and spoofing as you have mentioned, that's why the price suddenly drops. So you all know that this market is based on speculation so any negative news will really affected the market.

One thing to remember though is that as time goes by, eventually we will recover from this kind of negative news and bounce back stronger but it will take some time though.

The recent investigations really put a lot of pressure in the market, newbies again panic resulting in another domino effect. Other's may call it normal as price correction. And then the best we can do is wait and then buy again in this kind of dip. Bitcoin is really a good steal right now because the price is around $7K, its a perfect buying time so I urge everyone to do so.

I haven't check the latest news about the ongoing investigation, but if it ended well then there's nothing to worry about and we can keep and go on our daily tradings moving forward.

I noticed that a lot of fake information came out last week, but this information made people's psyche panic and many fear it sold all the Altcoin that caused the market worse.

the current market movement is still relatively quiet and the price of coins Bitcoin and altcoin continue to decline. This makes investors panicked with the events that happen today

All news is prediction, the true is no one knows. Understand that up and down is part of reality on real market and from this condition we need to find one opportunity ( just one ) to test our strategy. I'll not fight for the what the reason because will wasting my time, I'll keep watch my platform and find where is the second top bottom that I can start to buy back. Good luck all.

Precisely, that FUD news makes market getting worse the price and those smallholders easy to panic especially for those people quickly panic and believe in that news. Well, I don't believe what news it is because that can't affect bitcoin price and probably that was made those whales trying to ride the price movement in the market and to fool small investors to being panic to sell and make price decrease.
So, indeed there's no main reason for getting the price drop at this time only we holders make market worst.

I think it's just some of the bad news that attack bitcoin prices and I think that's normal, you should see when bitcoin prices are high some time ago there must be bad news that makes bitcoin prices collapsed.

The dropping of price to my understanding is a correction that is clearing up the initial panic by investors. Investing for this year has been of uncertainty in the market since the beginning of the year after the bitcoin came to its highest.

I think this is due to some panic selling of bitcoin by the new trader. Personally I advice the new investor to hold the bitcoin , rather than selling at the bottom.And if you have lot of money,this is the best time to buy a bitcoin.Hold your bitcoin and keep it with patience .

I think this movement of the market is normal considering bitcoin has been on a prolonged bullish trend for a while before this slow decrease to where the price now happens. People(especially newbies who have started using crypto just recently) seem to be forgetting that bitcoin has been into lower prices than this, for this reason, some people who have been using bitcoin for a while(users who use bitcoin since before halving) would only consider these movements as a mere correction.

I think the price factor is down a lot, for now, I see a price drop because of negative news about the crypto world, so if there is negative news about crypto then we can be sure price will go down ..

According to me some important reasons for price drop are:
1. The governments are holding a negative view about this cryptocurrency. Some say that they will be banning Bitcoin
2. Manipulation by big whales in the market.
3. Panic selling or FUD
Apart from that normal technical analysis and reaction of market to demand and supply can also be a reason.

I think the main reason is supply and demand is down in current scenario so total marketcap is continuously drop in the market. But some peoples are still believe the Crypto investment so again it will jump to positive line in future.

Everything is ok on market. Most of assets are in a correction so it is even nice because it gives us opportunity to buy again in a hope of the future growth. I would not probably buy BTC at 20000$, 25000$ or 50000$ because for me it is to expensive and I would be afraid of the future but now BTC price is quite sweet to buy without fear.

That is right, most of the things that is happening right now is due to correction, it is anticipated and predicted so nothing to worry about this, we just need to see this as an opportunity and not in a negative side, when for sure price will still recover soon so let us be patiently wait for it.

The prices are always not in a same range it has some up and down we are invester and we are decision maker so don’t follow others comments think for your life then decide if suitable or not.

I think people are inclined to stockpile their btc so the amount of daily capital to trade will decrease , with the same of course the demand will also decrease. I think that is why the market is gradually going down but not falling dramatically. Perhaps we need some impact to stimulate demand, so the market can grow again.

I think it's as a result of various negative news leading to low confidence in the market

The main reason for the recent price declines is that the dominant market for whale investors is that they want the market to continue to decline so that small investors have to sell all that they have and Whales will buy coins at very cheap prices. I think the market will continue to decline until mid-June to recover.

As said by all of you, some factor caused price to go down is US investigation. This make people to be worry then psychologically they release their coins. Other thing with almost in the same time is the releasing bitcoin stock of Mt Gox to increase the supply, economically the price decrease by increasing the supply while demand has been pushed by above US investigation. 

I think the cryptorrency market is fluctuating so that the negative news of the US Justice Department's investigation affects the fall in market prices. we just need to see this as an opportunity and definitely the price will still recover soon.

We haven't seen any major news that would trigger such a massive dump in the last couple of weeks, just speculation and rumours which we always get. The low confidence might be a result of the bearish sentiment that's been surrounding the market for the past few months which all it does is supress buying pressure not trigger a sell-off.

All in all, I think the dips we've seen lately are not related to any news specifically but more with random big btc dumps, most likely from whales trying to tank the price so that other whales can buy cheap.

I think this is only a correction, and if you look at the current market prices are still normal and not too far down, hopefully the market will recover soon.

The main reason why the price drops is that the whales. They control everything on the market

Common reason but the big question is we wont able to see on how they do sell off but for sure they are one of the common factor why we do see decline but also even conventional traders do make some profit taking which as an investor you will really sell out for profits.Main reason doesnt really focus only on one but there are lots of factors to consider or try to check out.For now instead on minding on the dip, better to go out and have a vacation and comeback later.

I do not think that this time there is any reason the because of which the price of bitcoin got a shock and the price dropped. This time it is obvious that there is no any bad news and no any bad step took against bitcoin but actually some people started to fud against bitcoin and because of that the price of bitcoin started to decrease. But this will not go for longer and the price of bitcoin will recover sooner with a good gain.

The prices drop when a lot of people are selling the coins. But if you are able to hold it for a while, then the prices will be high when you want to sell them

The main reason for price drop is the negative news and panic selling that affects the demand of bitcoin and brings reduction in rate of demand. The increase and decrease in responsible for the up and down of Bitcoin price which in turns get affected by the panic selling and the negative news about the crypto market. The market has gained all the demand but some times affects with this but we have seen that Bitcoin has grasp over all these factors.

There's a lot of possible reason why the bitcoim price drop or dump. Maybe these reason can cause price dropping.
The news about bitcoin who article is neagtive can affect the price because people who are have bitcoin can panic and sell their bitcoin . But don't worry now because the price again pumping.

I think when any news badly affected than people feel negative and start to sell and when this trend start the other are selling by watching the downtrend and with the thread of red candles they feel fear and selling and selling and that is why the drop more,

I don't know why all crypto market and bitcoin price is drop it is very bad for us but I hope all market again rise and they are all again come same place

I think it is totally demand and supply when market goes little down and there is no demand for the price dropping more and more with non-breaking and that is why the price is drop down more.

I also believe that the market will rebound strongly in June so investors can rest assured if they are holding many altcoin. In July, the market may continue to decline so there should be a reasonable investment strategy in this period to protect its assets.

Before its due yo fud, but this past few weeks its more of manipulation there are no news that can bother the market now, so it might be a group manipulation to buy some at lower price.

You're correct because after the blood bath the market correct occur and the market ought to be experiencing some little simultaneously pump in price but the whales manipulated the market in other to buy dip before another ATH.

FUD news are main reason of price drop effect, but I know bill gates are popular and genius person in the world of new technology in the computer science, starting bill gates state this thought's abput bitcoin uselss currency the price goes dump, but I still believe bitcoin still strong currency.
lately FACEBOOK MANAGEMENT against in crypto currency but now if I'm not wrong FB are making their own crypto coins.

It can be but of course there's a lot of factors that need to be consider, maybe there is no real reason why the price is dumping. Correction is still possible, and I think FAKE news make this thing market more volatile and the price of great coins are easily dumping. 

Yes, this is normal for the market. I recommend staying HODL and don't panic. Because whales want cheap prices for investment. But a few more days the market will soon be up again.

Main reason for the price drop are mostly varies in supply and demand adding with some FUD on the main thread which people do panic it can contribute also in the whole stock exchange causing dropping but this is just a normal way of developing cryptocurrency as years have past which popularity is getting bigger.

Negative news is one of the reason because it makes some of the investors got panic.Some would withdraw or sell and some would hesitates to buy more which makes i think the market unbalance.It should be more stocks and more demands

I think it's not only the bad news that is causing the drop but also big market players manipulates the price. There is also a report that they are going to sue big market players and ensure that they will have to do what it takes in order to take him out of the crypto markets.

The common reason why almost all price was drop especailly in cryptocurrency because the people sold their token, so that's the time the market get crash. Anyways, when it come to the market the movement of the price is normal, i mean 'cause when the people buy a token the price get higher and when they sold the price get lower but if the token that you buy or invest drop to the deepest price and  end up to zero, it's not normal because all your fund will be lost.

I think the main reason why the market is down because of the panic sellers who afraid to losing their money mostly are new investor of cryptocurrency, for those who hold will gonna earn profit soon because they believe that the market will recover.

There are a number of reasons why the Crypto market is down, to make statistics and to say one thing for exactly the impossible, supply and demand are always changing, and Crypto exists all over the world, so some main situations The economics of some countries accepting Crypto turbulence will affect the price of the altcoin.

There are many reasons for the decline in Crypto prices, but the overall decline is due to the supply and demand of the market. They have put the BTC price down when the supply is too high, the market is likely to be influenced by a force, causing BTC owners fear and sell the BTC rushing to the market, so the price BTC dropped.

The price fluctuation around 10 to 20% is absolutely normal but anything beyond that has some reason behind it and if you can find that reason and predict the possible scenarios and earn the good handsome amount of profit from it. If I am not wrong then I believe that the main reason behind price fall is still the after correction phase but I am optimistic about recovery.

Generally from the economics point of view the major factor which is controlling the price of an product in the market is its demand and demand is depending on people, so if you are not encouraging people to use the product or incase of crypto coins so demand will be less and price of coin will be less. Te current price of Bitcoin is 7.7k dollar and this is low price and is favorable for people, this price is encouraging people to invest here as we are tightly bounded with the Bitcoin and have trust in it as we observed many times before and giving us positive results.

People need to understand such basic concepts of trading at their own. No one should be telling them this much low level of information. Supply and demand is one of supreme and cream rule that must be understood by every trader. And if someone is lacking this information, he must be given back to the tutorials and books, so that they would come to know how this system works.

I think the main reason for the price drop because of the changes that happen in the environment of the business and also
because of the  law of the demand in this industry that can really affect the price drop.

I think the main reason for the price drop Is Us. We are the reason for all of the things in Bitcoin because we are the developers and we are the investors and we are the ones if you do proper things with the proper ways the value will rise up and again and again.

The main reason for the price drop is the market is in panic and fear mode the main reason for that is recent hacking and government regulation all these reason bitcoin market is nt responding for such claims

Maybe.Because the price of bitcoin will purely based on the demand and supply.Since it is decentralized currency,not even a U.S president can't control the price of bitcoin.It is based on the increase or decrease in investments of bitcoin.Based on the traders demand price will increase.

This might be one of the reason for the dip but it is not the only reason and what i think is people investing in bitcoin are forced by the government and this has majorly disturbed the market.

release product, and the price going up..

Not very high, but you can see a slight increase

i think lots of those dumps are whales going out of their price pump and use the news to cover their actions and it accelerates by a lot unexperienced trader/short time hodler. Interesting to see if it stays above 5000€. If it doesn't, i feel like it will go down furthermore

FUD is only reason why prices are dropping and you include the bad news everywhere on every exchanges around the world but the truth is, they were not really hacked or something it is just a normal gimmick to cover up the price manipulation. We can't do anything about this tragedy because only those who has powers to control everything by using their own wealth.

with red wax yarn they get scared and sell and sell and that's why the decline is more. Because I think when there is news is severely affected than people feel negative and start selling and when this trend starts another sell by watching the downtrend

Currently I have heard quite a lot of bad news about this market. I do not know if this is true or not but I believe the transparency of blockchain will give me the answer.

This may be right but in my opinion, I feel there is more. First, we have seen growing popularity of cryptocurrency in recent times; this have generated some level of concerns as a consequence of fraudulent tendencies. At present, people do not feel completely safe investing in crypto and this have greater impact on the ecosystem.

its has a lot of reason amount them Bithump and coinrail hack was most reasonable for it. But the market already starter to PUMP, today bitcoin price is $6,267. So bad day has been finises now we waiting for a good day.

They main reason is they issue of hacking and theft of coins,it made they coin drop significantly in values and as we see today it still dropped below $6000,when this issue are stopped then there will be stability

I do not think that it is the main reason for the price drop, i think that there are so many other reasons which are also causing bitcoin price to dump, for example the currency football world cup has also some bad effect on bitcoin price, because most of the people are interested in world cup, they are even putting money on different matches.

well it could be a reason... but I think whales are coming, and they are getting huge with all the weak hands around here ;)
as we saw in last December, a drop is coming first than a BIG PUMP. I really believe we're close to see a big pump in few days/weeks.

I'm not sure about that, if that really have some effects with bitcoin value maybe because of those people who are more interested with world cup instead of playing with the market, or also those hacks that been reported previously or the whales who are very much loving the situations and keep shaking the market for more weak holders to sell out their coins, we needed to consider all available information including those fuds which is really affecting the positions of investors and traders.

I would say that one of the reasons our people, because mostly we can cyst from newbies and an educated guys who are in it for the money only.

There are so many negative news spread about bitcoin, and the big whales are manipulating the market to their own these are the reasons that people have lost their hope in bitcoin. Due to this people get panic and not ready to invest in bitcoin. But this type of situations normally happens in the market so dont get panic. Already we are waiting for long time, but again we have to wait for some more time till the price becomes high.

Due to the FUD in the market,the price of bitcoin is reduced.Now a days,the big whales are manipulating the market.This create more panic among the new investors.They may don't know,Bitcoin had a potential to recover his own value.If the demand of bitcoin is reduced in the market,the price will reduced to low value.

Main reason for price drop is panic-fear as many investors invested more into crypto they should afford and now just dumping. Also the demand is very poor during summer. Big cleaning is going on and weak hands leaving the market.

There are many reasons for the price dump mate. Most specified things are trading manipulation, hackings, regulations and etc... If you get invest your fund on any coins you will be able to get the profit in future dude.

Apart from that we do not need to find the reason for price dump.

The most important reason for the current price reduction is manipulation. Now whales earn billions on ordinary people (however, as always). Now they bring people to the point where people are covered with a terrible panic and they sell everything at the lowest possible prices. I think whales will scare people a little more, and then the price will go up.

only one reason, the price is heavily going down because of the fud, and a lot of people are just following those signals to buy back lower

The only one real reason that I see here is the market manipulation. Someone decided to make some funds in the last year and has pumped the market dramatically, when this crypto-hype started to grow tramendeosly fast and has reached its apogee in January they decided to start selling huge amounts of crypto. And basically everything that you see right now is just the price manupulation of those sitting on top. I really advice you to avoid trading if you were planning and start investing in some coins and HODL them, there's no other good chance to make money off the market differently. FOr example I have invested recently couple of eth in the project called Cryptics, thse guys have developed a platform which allows to get the price forecasts with high accuracy rate up to 70%, they gonna run the next ICO phase soon in August.

I believe that the price of bitcoin are being manipulated by whales or these big financial institutions as they want to buy also bitcoin at lower price. They release negative news and sentiments which causes the price of bitcoin fall irregularly. My advice is that buy bitcoin as low as possible most probably 4k level.

I think a lot of things are causing the price to fall, and recently the FED has raised interest rates by 2% and people are very nervous about this information so many panic sell occurred continuously in June and of course this has Make a lot of people lose a lot of profit this is very bad. For me in July there will be a lot of news to reassure investors and they will soon return to the market

This is not a only reason in price drop because lot of opposition is comes in the market but Bitcoin is struggle the every problem then back to form. So main reason is whales and bad rumours of cryptocurrency then peoples are panic to invest in this platform automatically supply and demand is reduce in the market.

The demand for bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is reducing and that is why the price is dropping!  When the demand increase again then we should expect another pump. The market work in this way and that is what determines the state of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general.

Hi Forex trader here, recently invested in Bitcoin. I would like to tell you guys that, Bitcoin is just preparing to launch and nothing to worry about because price is accumulating. If you do not believe, listen to the  news, you check out the news and you will see everybody is jumping in

All those factors are part of what makes the price to go down nearly everyday and a lot of people sell their token very cheap because they don't want to lose but I believe every factors boils down to demand and supply.

They reason why cryptocurrency market drops is because of they inability to adhere to investors complaint thereby not giving investors 100% trust and assurance that there money won't be hacked,crypto is going to rule the world

There are many things that can affect the price of the cryptocurrency,fake news ,big whales and any type of hype  can affect the value either  good or bad,so before you dismiss something as hype,remember that hype moves markets too.

I'm reading for trade bitcoin and eth, but I hope trade for me...

If I think the price drop is a correction that erases the initial panic by investors. Investments for the year have been uncertainty in the market since the beginning of the year after Bitcoin hit its highest level. Also a lot of fake information came out a few weeks ago, but this information makes people panicked and many are afraid to sell all Altcoin which causes the market worse.

The reason why the price decreased because most of the news now are negative about bitcoin so that's why the people who see this sell their bitcoin because they are panicking and even the other people who have interest to invest are not interest because of that kind of news.

All of them are really remarkable reason for the price drop, whales are trying to keep on this price drop because they knows after this all small and inexperienced investors will sell their coin for lowest price, so they will get a chance to enjoy a lot of coins for cheap price, but if we will stop listening them and selling at panic our coin then the bitcoin recovery will get faster and we will have good profit.

Since there are so many pennies out there, they can produce effects, and the competition between coins is quite high. This has taken away some investors so the price of the altcoin is always down.

Cryptocurrencies (CC’s) are at the mercy of the speculator. Turn that pressure cooker down and speculators bail, selling rapidly. Unlike a share in a traditional company such as Ford, valuation is impossible.

Now that the whales have withdrawn capital from the Crypto market, that is the main reason for the altcoin price cuts, but in the future, they will pump in. The market will rise again.

yes there is. This crypto world may fall anytime soon. Nothing can be told now as only the whales know what will happen next. So right now practice how to think like a whale :)

Price drops if people buying rate reduces and decreases which has direct affect on the value if Bitcoin and similarly other coins also act the same and alters with their demands.

The current market indicates that demand rate has decreased which has brought decrease in value of Bitcoin and will improve surly if the demand rate increases. People are worried about it but they should wait for the price to go high with increase in demand rate.

it could be that is the reason why the value of crypto currency is down, another reason why its value goes down because of the many fuds scattered so many people withdraw their money from crypto

it seems that the main reason why bitcoin prices fall is because of bad news that attack bitcoin prices that make traders panic and sell their assets at very cheap prices.

The market prices is based on supply and demand so obviously, there are more people today who prefer selling their coins more than holding it or others are not good enough to handle their patience and they sell their coins at its lowest price.

 I think the most appropriate reason of the price drops it
because of the changes of the law of the demand that happened in the market or public, and it is a good opportunity to be grabbing of.

The main reason for the large drop in the market is the rapid growth at the end of last year, a very dangerous situation now because the market does not move in any direction.

Some factors that nay be causing Bitcoin price drop:
1. People being sceptical about Bitcoin
2. High volatility in value
3. Government regulations of some countries
4. Doubt about the future of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general
5. Fear of wallet being hacked
The above factors, among others, impact people's. view  negatively thereby affecting Bitcoin price.

Not only altcoin but the general market is facing the same situation. Bitcoin is down, ETH and some other altcoin are down. This is not just because the investors pulled out.

This is also because we have had banns on crypto in different which dramatically reduced the demand and hence prices. The intervention of government regulation and the activities of Whales are the basic factors hwy the market is down.

Decentralized Crypto Exchange Bancor Hacked (source Cointelegraph) https://cointelegraph.com/news/decentralized-crypto-exchange-bancor-reports-security-breach-remains-down-for-maintenance  For this hack the market is again down. 

I would rather says it’s versatile factors which affects the price of bitcoin. You will know exactly what’s the cause when you see the drastic price movements for it. When you see such movements then you realise the news in the market and can be sure whether it’s just natural cause or the artificial dumping and stuff like that. That’s why volatility is always incremental for the bitcoin as more and more factors are getting added into the list for its movement.

Generally price drops with decrease in demand that is why the market degrades on the other hand the market increases if the demand rate increased.

The current market situations of low price indicate that current demand rate reduced. From few days the market graph has improved a little but still the price is low besides which we know one thing more that after each downfall a market recovers.

The reason for the price reduction is the multiplayer effect by the security of the hacker into the machine will take away the bitcoin and the altcoin they make investor confidence shake or labor structure also contributed. The market has fallen sharply

"movements of the market are nrmal" and that is how cryptocurrencies market and forex market operate. If you study the historical data you will agree with me how price has been reacting to some issues that come out of cryptocurrencies market and how that affect cryptocurrencies market and the nature of this market is that it is news drive.

There are quite a few reasons for the current price drop, but as far as I know the market capitalization has dropped dramatically, so it is possible that the whaling withdrawal from the market.

The other currency are also going down when the the banks say that they got a risk on the virtual money type and want to protect their customers. And managers on the world also start to check your crypto transactions.

it seems that what makes the price of bitcoin fall is the bad news that makes the price crumble and the traders are panicked so they make the price fall and make a lot of people lose a lot.

I've heard about some huge amount of investment money that should came to this market in early June 2018 but for some misty reason they didn't come, and it causes the drop.

Yeas, I think the 'whale-effect' as I like to call it may be a plausible reason for this price drop or maybe even the new negative press the people picked and existed instead.

I don't think that there is a single reason that affects Bitcoin price. Panic selling is one of the causes of the drop in price, because it is often triggered by an event that significantly decreases investor confidence in the market. Other factors could be FOMO,FUD, negative news, controversies, or media influence. Market is not always on our favorable side, what we can do is to study the market, familiarize its nature, stay calm, be positive, be hopeful, and trust that it can generate positive results at the course of time.

This movement in the market now is not normal,and maybe thats your speculation about the indication of wash trading or spoofing is correct,because if you look up the situation now,many things happen in the cryptocurrency is creating fraud,ponzi or scamming,so therefore there s no reason thats they could not do this,and whose this some people who you thinks can do this,manipulating the market,theres no one we could say the big player or the whales group,because they are the one became capable of influencing the exchange market,maybe we have no evidence,but this thinking is initiative.

Exactly in the last few months Bitcoin and Altcoins prices have fallen sharply. I also read the news from bitcoin-controlled governments and large trading sites hacked and bitcoin hacked. The phenomenon of money laundering all makes the price fall more and more. In addition, the organizations that control the amount of Bitcoin include:
Gox sells off.
Can be controled by large traders in the market.
Bitfinex tax policy.
Bithumb and UPbit scandal in Korea.
The failure of organization investors when not responsing the expectations of the community.
Uncertainty in some areas.

The main reason for the fall in prices in my opinion is the number of selling very much.

I think the number of selling can be a lot because 2 things:
1. Whales sells a lot of assets.
2. Panic sell, from coin holders due to bad news etc.

Investor who gets ripped off by hackers actually would end up that way due to their own lack of making use of strong security to their wallets. The market however is far more than investors getting scared because of that, but the fact that a lot of investors or will I say inexperienced newbie investors who got into FOMO last year are being shaken off by the whales so as to get back in at the dip and keep holding a stronger position in the long run and all these are possible because the market is speculative in nature and most people are just looking to get rich and not investing based on what the market value really is about.

If I think the current price drop is a correction that erases the initial panic by investors. This is because some Bitcoin sales are panicked by new traders. Also demand and supply when the market fell slightly and no demand for prices fell even more, which caused the market worse.

Perhaps it sounds too obvious - but it's a bear market. Now the bears have captured the market and it is in the same mood. It's always the case in the bear market. Any good news is not practically not perceived, but bad is given too much importance. Just like in December, when the market was bullish, any news raised the rate of altcoin by 50%.

I think the price of bitcoin has risen by 2017 but now its price has fallen and from now on 2018 many bitcoin users dumped and dropped the price of bitcoin.

Bear market or big whales manipulated the market by selling their big assets, cause of panic selling most of people are affected is beginners in crypto that really don't know how's market work. That's the possibility that i thought on why the market price are drop.

Not only news there are many other things which make to decrease the price because most of the people are in panic mode when they hear any news. When there are many buyers automatically the price will increase.

 I think that all market manipulations are normal in crypto and happen all the time. We should learn how to spot an upcoming pump and get in early

I think just buying investors bitcoin so many people dump their bitcoin because they fear being able to buy a bitcoin today because it may have fallen down
until they lose their bitcoin funds.

for the reason why the bitcoin and altcoin that exist in the market have lowered the price that I do not know for sure, because nowadays a lot of negative news is circulating about crypto and it is believed that is not necessarily true, as most people have believed negative news that is not necessarily true about the crypto , so many people panicked and made the mistake of selling the coins they held that I thought made the price of crypto down.

Hello ,

Prices for the cryptocurrency ether continued to climb on Monday after going on a tear for the better part of a year. As of 4:40 p.m., the Ethereum-traded coin was trading at more than $370 per unit, a gain of roughly 6.6% over the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. Meanwhile bitcoin has dropped nearly 11% to about $2645 per coin.

Ether has been one of the best-performing assets of the year, with prices climbing more than 5,000%, according to CNBC. Noting similarly outsize gains on Twitter, the economist Steve Hanke wrote that "this is what a bubble looks like," referring to the phenomenon where investor enthusiasm causes an unsustainable rise in prices.

Indeed, concern over high prices has prompted some cryptocurrency enthusiasts to muse that a crash in prices might not be such a bad thing. On one hand, a dip in prices could help draw in more investors who were enticed by a potential "buying opportunity." More customers would also force the platforms to upgrade their capabilities, the thinking goes, which would help digital currencies gain legitimacy.

Hope this comment will help to you people.

Thanks.

The market price is based on supply and demand so obviously there are more people who wants to sell their coins more than investing and that is the reason for the price to drop.

I think there is not huge problem. The biggest reason is panic selling. Even the ridiculous news can affect people's psychology. Only the traders who have been in trade for a long time can reduce their own emotions, and they always knows how to look positive to red market.

This is not the market I've saw since I've joined. The first thing I joined crypto, I saw the market were all green and I think that this thing clearly has a future on it. Probably it's just an eye hooker for you to join here. Or I'm just overreacting because of the money I've lost?

A lot of people bought Bitcoin etc at a point that it was rising fast hoping to make a quick buck, then when it fell slightly they all panicked driving the price down further. Those who take a longer term view and hodle now or even buy now will make a good return over the medium to long term.

I believe that the market will likely increase, if Bull Run is not higher than last year, it is likely to reach $ 1000 billion before the winter, just when the market focused more on becoming a basic market legitimacy.

This is a market correction which is normal. An equally, probable reason for the drop would be whales and of course a handful of traders who take advantage of this correction

This is normal,  the market flow tend to go up or down but we must learn some techniques on how to earn with it and take the chance while the market are down.

It is somewhat to have a huge correction again and having a strong market manipulation made by some crypto whales. Government participation will be a huge help for this as their regulating policy will be imposed to stop such doings.  We all have been affected and market are still crying how to move on and turn into green again. We are just hoping for a huge change in this quarter as we are expecting spikes.

Since there's been a lot of negative FUD related to BTC lately, (hacking, regulations etc) it always leads to a downwards spiral. I am surprised it has lasted as long as it has though.

Right, with all the negative news and crypto regulations knocking at our door, it really surprises us all to see that bitcoin or crypto in general has lasted through this year and the price is still going strong at this juncture. Although the price fall from $20K to $6K is not a picture to behold, we should be happy that we are still here and lasted long enough.

And if we can go over this hump, then this is another testament that bitcoin and crypto is here to stay for good, no matter what the governments and central banks around the world will do.

in my knowledge when crypto drop the reasons behind the drop in the past was the high selling and short selling while some time bad news regarding crypto comes in the market which also change the crypto price.

it seems the main reason why so many coins are falling because I think there is bad news that attacks the condition of the price of cryptocurrency and ultimately makes the coin price to fall.

Negative news and panic selling caused this situation and bearish trend continues. many people say it will last till next year. Yeah even I think bull run will start next year.

they are taking this to be drop i think that there is such a good thing that may ever happen after this drops better for those know how to wait and have patient on everything.

each coin has their own reasons why the price is decreasing. well, one of the reasons is when the project is never developed, or has decreased in the process. well, sometimes it is also influenced by bitcoin prices.

this fck... volatile killing it. Pray for upcoming ICOs and their xxx. You should study about Kelvin Blockchain, or if you already know it give me feedback please, willing to invest in this project. ;)

The manipulators wars IMO. I can suggest you interesting ICO Kelvin Blockchain in case you never heard about it, here is link - https://medium.com/@kelvinchain/the-post-quantum-era-of-blockchain-todays-solutions-for-the-world-of-tomorrow-16bdd970f49a (https://medium.com/@kelvinchain/the-post-quantum-era-of-blockchain-todays-solutions-for-the-world-of-tomorrow-16bdd970f49a)

There are a number of reasons why the crypto market has price drop as allegedly manipulating prices in a recent report by the International Bank for Commodity (BIS), saying that altcoins are not scalable. There are also issues about security breaches, some regulatory violations, government bans on ICO activity, expired futures contracts, and some customer identity issues. All of these will affect Bitcoin and other discounted e-currencies, according to analyst Adam Kovac at CoTrader.

Recently, a University of Texas study found that Bitcoin has been manipulated for years - something people have long suspected. In addition, other reports suggest that the former asset manager of Mt. Gox, the floor of the attack and bankruptcy in February 2014 has recently dumped hundreds of millions of dollars into the market in March.

The price has increased a little today but it is not a permanent or satisfactory increase though it is required at this stage but we need more improvement to see a bull market in the future days. this is only possible if we do not sell out at this stage to see a little increase can not make us sell and if we do so then the price will go high and we will see a better value soon in future days.

I think the main reason in the altcoin's prices dump is the panic traders which sell their coins once they see that their coins has increased even a little bit, that's why the price is stable and dumping from time to time. When it comes to new listed tokens , the main reason for the price's dump are the bounty hunters and airdrop participants.

The sad truth about crypto currency is, when whales pumps a coin. Make shills in social media, pay some known crypto people to shill. When a lot of people buys, they simply sell their coins silently until all their assets was gone. Price dumps and normal people who holds their coins are panic selling until the price drops to the floor.

Then whales are silently rebuying all the dumped coins on its 2000% discount rate. Then cycle starts again.

At the current situation of the market of cryptocurrencies I'd still believe that it was all because of the price correction and I don't think so that until now it was still the reason why the market value is not getting higher. Aside from this is the panic selling of the coin which is not advisable as of now.

Market is very volatile and also coinbase is adding new coin in its exchange.

In my knowledge when crypto drop the reasons behind the drop in the past was the high selling and short selling while some time bad news regarding crypto comes in the market which also change the crypto price. I think it's as a result of various negative news leading to low confidence in the market

Price drop are a normal issue in market volatility. In addition, the value of the market depends on many factors, including external information such as FUDs, annoying news spreading in the community. And the response from the investor / user will create the price drop process.

The main reason why prices drop is when supply is more than demand. Basically , when people are selling and their are no Much buyers, prices tend to go down. The reason why people sell off most times are when their are bad news in the market, when the market sentiment is low  .etc.

if you analyze recent years, then in the summer there has always been a situation with the fall of the market. In addition, in 2018, from the very beginning, it failed on the crypto-currency market. I think that in the autumn the situation should change for the better.

To me i think that the main reason is the bad news that some time spread in the market, although there are so many other reasons which also put a very bad effect on bitcoin price but sill i think that the main reason is that that the bad and false news that spread in the market but big effect on bitcoin price.

this is very normal condition, you can check the history of btc from 2014 to up to now, its really pump and dump.

Bitcoin and others cryptocurrencies are at a bearish market and buying power is very low.  The demand for investment into cryptocurrencies is reducing and that is why the price is down also.  Bitcoin is going to recover in future and during bearish market the best thing to do is buying as you can get bitcoin cheap those times.

I am just a beginner but probably the reason for the price according to because many people are buying when the price is cheap and save it up to now and many people who sell karna may be in need of money for personal things like buying food and drink, but I believe someday the price will recover because total supply is limited

Yes it is. But now we have a accumulation phase. BTC price went up, but alt went down, so it means that people now buying BTC and sell their alt to buy BTC. When people see how Bitcoin price go up they don't look to any alts and until whales and other investors won't buy every BTC that they need we won't see alt rising.

I suppose to agree with you but from my point of view I noticed that only false or fake news is the main reason to falling price.
Because after watching this fake news people initially got shocked and they create an internal panic on their mind that's why this worse happen on market.

Nothing serious. Look ups and down it will be happening in the market but I believe that you must should learn more and more and watching all newses relating with crypto capital.
So don't worry price will raise up very soon.

In my opinion market is fluctuating up and down and so this is the obvious reason of the prices going down because they were up before so we can the same anticipate them to go up sooner or later.

Everyone predicts Bitcoin prices will increase in August but do not mention any reason for the event. Personally, I always consider big investments this time because the market has not shown signs of recovery and most people are starting to get discouraged because the prices can not rise like in 2017.

really, I agree with you, to be patient or wait for the right time for investors to sell bitcoin back. because according to my personal prices will rise later this year. so please be patient

Yes it is the reason but there are some other reason too such as panic selling, market moving and those people who are lack of knowledge because they sell their coin at panic so it makes the price down, I think everyone should have some patients at the moment, tomorrow the price of bitcoin will be normal again, but being impatience and air drop will surely content you to sell at panic which is the reason of falling price, and new also contributes to it,

1. Some is selling (pretty obv one)
2. A market maker is pushing the price down to accumulate more
3. General market cycles
what did I miss?

Many factors if you want to know the reasons for the price drop. But in my opinion, the decline in prices after a big increase is something reasonable, because bitcoin prices move from high demand. So if be considered after the big increase happens then there will be many people who sell bitcoin and market will fall if big sales happen and crash will happen so fast.

Good and relevant points. I think the likeliest could be the natural cyclic process of the market and indeed manipulation of it by the giants  ::)

The bitcoin market price is not yet stable and it still makes people panic about these news and some of them will sell their bitcoin at a low market price that will make the market price go down.

Main reason is manipulation!

Only one way we can do is to control the emotional state we have and stay patient, patience is necessary because with it then we will be able to get much better results. Compared when we experience panic then it will be much worse. Patience will help us to achieve much better results, although the price risks continue to decline, but we believe that crypto will grow so that someday the price of crypto will surely increase. It happens also during this month, see that those who are patient will definitely get much better results when the price increases as it is today. Just imagine when they sell Bitcoin when the price of 6,000USD definitely not too large profits and may even lose because they sell Bitcoin they have much cheaper than when they were selling it. This is a strategy in doing Trading, believe that when we believe in the coin we have then we have the opportunity to achieve much better results.

Exactly and in my opinion, there are so many reasons for the drop in the value of crypto currency. Prominent among them is the factors that reduce the demand for the crypto. Risk in the investment is something that declines the demand for a specific asset. Price stability also matters a lot.

When the price is not stable, the demand sharply declines and vice versa. The activity of Whales for their own interest in the market is a potential threat to the extension and progress of the technology.

The value has improved today and few days ago it declined but people are trying to know that what is the reason or major reason for its price alteration. Now the general rule says that buying rate means demand rate when increases or decreases the price also changes in the direction of demand rate. Current price has increased which means that the buying rate has increased and we need further improvement like this in order to reach at our destinations.

To me I think that the panic selling is the main reason for the price to drop, we have experienced that once the price start decreasing its price the inexperienced investors and trader get panic and then they try to sell their stock even with a big lost which create selling pressure in the market and therefore the price continue to drop.

In my opinion pump and dump is not a big problem. It is normal, but scams, hacking, manipulation are the main reasons that avoid people to putting their money in cryptocurrency. Everyone wants output of their investment and if they lose they will never put their money again in such a risky sector. Otherwise I think that crypto is the most profitable investment.

I like we have this thread still being posted while the price is clearly in a positive phase and very likely has beaten its negative trend of the last few months.    Its a contrary indicator that so long as people are still apprehensive we can very likely see gains.

When everyone expects a rise then I get fearful but this is no problem.   Wall of worry they sometimes they call this, its no negative to not expect gains thats fine and I just consider a little bonus every time we go up a bit.   Generally the price rises, comes back a bit then settles for a while and continue up again.    No reason for great alarm really, if theres a drop usually someone is trying to unsettle the price for a cascade gain from a short.  

  Usually people look to the news but its the background and protocol itself which matters for overall health of the blockchain demand vs supply :)

The new digital coin is not the equity. Instead, it can be used to pay for services offered by the company in the future. The value of this new coin can rise many times over the initial investment price. So many users are switching from bitcoin.

I agree with that some bad news causes bitcoin price will drop. Because some other people are afraid that if they heard a negative about bitcoin. Or we think its just only a volatile. Some people are also panic to sell their bitcoin when they heard not good about bitcoin, so this can be the main reason why btc price is drop.

This is a good article and it is also one of the many reasons why price falls. Manipulation is something that is decreasing the benefits we have as a result of the decentralized system. The more the ability of the manipulators to manipulate the prices, the more will the demand for the crypto fall because people feel insecure about their invested money with the intervention of manipulators.

Yeah you are right, the main problem is low demand from people all over the world and that is because of the fear to lose their investment due to fall in the price. Other reason is market manipulation. Big investors manipulate the market according to their well and they never let small investors to earn money from their investment. it is bad for bitcoin promotion.

Drops can be caused by a several factors.

Most dips are caused by the whales selling - to make money off their positions - but some are caused by news events too, like exchanges hacks, government regulations, important influences etc.

It really depends on the drop to be honest.

The main reason the market is falling is because many investors sell crypto coins, but when demand increases, the market will improve. It's normal in the market and most importantly, don't panic but keep optimistic crypto will definitely be able to provide benefits.

We all know this thing quite well that all the crypto currencies are volatile in nature and that the market value of different crypto coins keeps on changing with time. For now, the market is facing some serious issues and that because of which the market is falling. The decrease in the demand rate of the crypto coins because of certain reasons is something which is creating lot of difficulties for the investors.

The continued decline in the market is mainly due to people's panic sales, there are many reasons for these panic, such as whale action, hackers attack trading platform!

Bitcoin demand is low these days because people are putting their money in Altcoin because they possesses more potential than bitcoin. Bitcoin price is so volatile that nobody trusts it and everybody wants profit against their investment. Due to volatility in the price its market demand is low but now I think it will go up because there is little bit growth in the price.

From those reasons the end users are victims of miscalculations, we do know that after the downfall bounce back will happen, I just don't get the point of those who always in a panic mode when things seems to be dropping they forget about the principle of trading, buy low and sell high, never to invest with something you really don't understand so you will avoid mistakes and loses.

I want to believe it is glaring what is causing the price drop with bitcoin. It is a speculative market, we are in a bear trend and the market is manipulated. There is no market that does not have the hands of the whales in it anyway, so this is one thing we should know. Moreover, the fact is that there is no real demand, it is not like bitcoin is mainly being used as a currency, and a lot of people got greedy last year which makes it easy for the market to behave this way.

But things have turned upside down in last few days and now people are searching for the reason of why bitcoin is showing positive movements. There are belief like bitcoin etf may get approved by next month after a year long struggle. Also, the news of swiss banks are to offer cryptos as am investment option is triggering the up trend wave into new momentum. I am expecting prices to scale new heights in coming weeks as anything will be possible when considering the volumes of most majors exchanges.

Bitcoin’s price has different movements in different times so we can not find out when the market situations changes for which we need to focus on our benefit, where our benefit is. Something of great importance is to look for benefit only because of the unstable market we can not predict future correctly, the only benefit is to buy a lot of Bitcoins or other coins in the current market which is in front of us so what are you waiting for.

This is just a normal price for bitcoin and i can say that the reasons why bitcoin price is drop its because the price back in december 2017 is too much hype and most people that hype that price is some weak hand people that hype bitcoin into that price.

The market is dynamic and this is the main reason of the fluctuation in the price of crypto. The rise or fall in the demand determines the changes in the value. Any activity that can affect the demand for a particular coin will affect the price of the coin as well. Having said that, the government intervention, the activities of Whales in the market, and the risk attached to the asset affect the demand and hence the prices.

Added is the volatility crypto coins are moving like a domino,considering the bitcoin is the starter and what will the bitcoins price relies all the altcoins this made the market goes ups and down

And besides lets not be worry about the dumping because for almost ten years this is the set up we have been engaging so we already know that after the drops growth will follow though it will take some time,but still it will recover

it's just bad news, with that news many people are using the news to make bitcoin prices fall back. Until now I think the market price is normal

The main reason for BTC's decline may be that too many people buy BTC, so the price increase will be very slow, and the distribution of BTC in the market is too dispersed.

this may be the cause of bitcoin prices down. The news about the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that investigates the Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency exchanges, the cause of the decline in Bitcoin prices on 28 February yesterday

Moreover, in terms of development, especially the implementation of SegWit and the introduction of Lightning Network-based applications, there are many reasons for analysts to be very optimistic with Bitcoin. What about China? in the medium term, Bitcoin is likely to outperform other cryptoes, currencies and fiat assets drastically.

Main reason for the price drop is low demand from the people. When people do not demand for more bitcoin, there will be a lot of supply in the market but there would be no buyers and thus the price goes down. Other reason I think is market manipulation. Whales manipulate the market according to their well and when they want they change the price.

The price of BTC has risen too much in the last year, and now the heat of investing in crypto is low, so prices have fallen as the heat has fallen.

Actually the fluctuations of the price which is high and low is just normal situation. The price increase and it may decrease but usually the cycle bitcoin can recover.

I believe that price fluctuations of cryptocurrencies is just normal since day 1. So many reasons behind it and basically, it's the dumping of crypto assets by whales plus those people who are selling their assets too because no matter how small it is, it will always turn big when all of these are consolidated.

Yes! Also the reason is called "consolidation".

Someone pumps the coin then waits others to buy then they sell with profit, after that many traders lose money by holding that coin.
Holders start to sell after some time, then others sell and so on...

consolidation ? no i think that is still a manipulation . whales are manipulating the entire crypto market right now , thats why we still experience a bear market . when the whales decided to pump it again , that is only the time that we can see that cryptos are rising but it shouldnt last a long time . thats why panicking in the form of selling your coins imediately is pretty beneficial in order for you to earn a good income during the pump phase . price drops or manipulation is somehow normal and it does happen all the time , so the best thing to do is just wait for the right time .

Bitcoin's market cycle is running perfectly. So this year look like same with 2014. All graphics are very similar for Bitcoin this year and 2014!

Yeah what we have to do is take advantage of the best possible opportunity. it's hard to see why prices are weakening because changes in bitcoin prices are influenced by many things, as you say we can only do our best like buying at a low price and hoping the price goes up

Yes that is right that there are so many reasons which are causing the bitcoin price to drop but I think that the current decrease in bitcoin price is only because of the bad news about the EFT, but I am sure that it not affect the bitcoin price for a long time and very soon it will start recovering its position in a good way.

In my opinion the main reason  that affects the value of Bitcoin is the investors.We people are responsible for the rise and falls in the value.We people often sell out our Bitcoin's whenever we hear something negative about it.This leads in a huge drop in the value.And whenever we invest in it more the value increases automatically.So we people are the main factor that affects the Bitcoin value.

I think part of the money has returned to the USD because of the excessive appreciation of the USD in international currencies. In many countries, the USD has gained much value.

Prices deepening is the the results of over reaction of investors which is new from  this business, uncertainty will cause them panic that causes them dump immediately even if they are  in the verge of loosing in addition to some bad news about bitcoin.

We all will definitely feel disappointed when coin prices decline, but it will not be useful because the most important thing is that we can be patient with these conditions. There will be where conditions improve and we experience a change from a negative price movement towards positive price movements. We only need to wait and the results will certainly make us happy.

I read from several sources that many say this is caused by two countries, China and India, where both have large investors in bitcoin. The two countries agreed to temporarily close the access of this digital currency in order to improve the existing regulations, so it is only natural that the price of bitcoin has fallen sharply.

People who are panicking are those investors who are not well knowledgeable about how the market is working and that is the reason why they sell their coins at a lowest price every time the market is dumping.

Yes, traders got panic and took wrong decisions. There is nothing wrong with a price dropping or a price increasing hugely as this happens easily in every market which I want to believe anyone who is conversant with the way markets has always been would know better than to be worried about such movements as this knowing that every movement creates an opportunity either for buying during the dips or selling when everyone is getting greedy.

The price drop was normal though considering the nature of the market throughout last year which was expected to give birth to a huge correction and this is the correction we are having now. Even the increase in demand these days is fueled by manipulations and speculations, which makes it extremely hard to even get to understand how things have been tending for a while now and to know whether to be trusting in TAs or not.

Well, that is life, sometimes you tend to panic when the market price goes down and it is a normal feeling unless you are day trader when  you will find it interesting, you'll find it an opportunity for you to go and invest with bitcoin and some other coins that have potential value  in the future.

Most people chose to sell encryption in exchange for cash, and the market decided to continue to fall, as did many funds and traders.

The main reason is that we sell in bear market as we look for getting little profit which is a wrong step as if high profit is achievable here then why we proceed for little profit. Whenever the price increases a little then we sell immediately which is our wrong attempt that is not letting the value of Bitcoin to go higher and besides these mistakes our expectations for bull market are useless.
