Why is bitcoin falling? the long-term bitcoin holders would be selling their bitcoin for fear of an attack with quantum computing that could happen within a few years, for this reason they would be anticipating to get their profits before it keeps falling further? .. the fact is that bitcoin will not return to the price levels of December 2017

The supply and demand are largely influenced by the price of today's bitcoins

bitcoin prices are currently very worrying for big and small investors as well as bounty hunters.
but we all can not predict exactly whether bitcoin will return in December 2017.

I don't think price of bitcoin went down because of the quantum computing, in my personal analysis bitcoin went down because of the bad news come from mtgox can be seen on here https://news.bitcoin.com/mt-gox-creditors-legal-victory-enormous-assets-to-be-returned/ and the effect of bad news will be done in couples weeks later, bitcoin won't be died just by bad news related with hacking issues and quantum computing.

It's more or less normal price movement for this part of the year.

No way the long term bitcoin holders would be selling now. Only the noob bitcoin holders will panic sell when the price is low. Where did you get the information about quantum computing? Attack by quantum computing is not happening any time soon.

Where did you get this information? Fortune telling?

bitcoin falls simply because of the news worldwide . if people heard or read negative news about bitcoin people usually dump it . It was one of the major factor for bitcoin to fall because some countries banned bitcoin and others do not accept it . But still bitcoin has more good news rather than bad news but o suggest people to buy bitcoin when it fell so you can earn profit once it flew again .

I don't think they're dumping everything for quantum computing...
whales are just selling hard!!
I wonder to know when all this will comes to an end!
need to sell my bags...

Let us take this price fall normally as inconsistency is the basic characteristics of bitcoin. I couldn't agree with you on the point that the price will never reach the level it was in last December. I believe that it will certainly reach their and even higher. It will just need some more time.

The price of bct fall when holder sell much more quantities of their coins than the price fall down bcz of fear of losing profits and when the price is lower they buy more coins and hold again that is the way to profit

Inconsistency, that's the best word to describe Bitcoin. Yes, we know Bitcoin also reached the floor-peak of its rank but it also has it's highest peak wherein there are a lot of users investing and using Bitcoin. The news spread, especially negative, can be the reason why Bitcoin falls, but people should also risk, just like in the journey of life.

- market manipulation
- panic sells
- exiting of many investors who saw the above two things and don't want to risk their money until it is over so the market gets thinner and easier to manipulate
- altcoins dumping which is causing a lot of disturbance in the market.

anyone who is doing this because of what you said without using their heads or doing a 5 minute research should not hold any bitcoin ever. not only bitcoin but also literary any other kind of investment in their lives.

how exactly is that a fact?

I think that this bad news too.
We hope price will be recover soon.
price of bitcoin can't fall down lower than 5500 USD.

I believe it is just manipulation by whales so they can drive the price down.  This happens in all the markets but it has a stronger effect in bitcoin.  Of course it will return back to its' all time high, thats the nature of bitcoin.  It dips but comes back stronger than ever.

There are possible things that is part of the constant or simply the change, which is the only npossible constant thing, that I have seen here in bitcoin. Gladly, how bitcoin is being patronised all over thr world, which are pros, we cannot remove the fact that there are also cons about it. It is okay to lower our pride about holding of what is yours wo you won't be wondering what I just happened

 Yes absolutely, maybe some country ban crypto currency that is why the the demand and supply of all coins in the market is affected and now bitcoin price is very low, sad, but dont be worry everyone here, just keep calm and everything will be okay, just keep holding your fund.

There is nothing special in the fall of crypto. In contrast to, let's say, stock companies or assets such as oil, gold,  digital money has no real price indicators. For stocks, this is the number of customers, the cost of means of production, various types of patents, and so on. For gold and oil - the number of units produced, stocks, demand growth due to new productions (say, chemical). In crypto, it's easier and therefore unusual: pure demand and pure offer.

Bitcoin as one of the most beloved cryptocurrency currencies but this year I saw a lot of negative advice about bitcoin and also the marar market website that was broken to make the year bitcoin price drop sharply.

if in my opinion maybe bitcoin prices fall.
because of the large number of people who sell their assets for a road trip with the family. especially now is still Idul Fitri holidays and long school holidays .

My reason is because of the feast of Eid al-Fitr of the Muslims. and school children's holidays. so will many people need money for roads with family and so on. so the number of people who buy and who sell will be many people who sell .

if you stop being lazy and do a quick research you will see that quantum computers and bitcoin has been more of a FUD to create panic among newbies and there is no merit to it. and it won't become a real threat for many years. and even by then there are a lot of very simple solutions!

why market falls?
there are a lot of theories some of which you will see in this topic and these days.
i myself say it is because of the altcoin dumps that have been going on for some time now. the first sign of it is the fact that for example bitcoin drops 5% but other coins like ethereum drop 10%.

Many people are worrying about the falling price of bitcoin, but I think it is normal to have ups and downs in the market. I believe that it's falling because some investors was afraid to hold their bitcoin, maybe they are selling some investments.

I think it's because of the imbalance between supply and demand，Because there are many ICO projects, these ICO projects will make people sell BTC, because people have insufficient funds.

First off, there's something that most traders don't understand. There are private groups/individuals that are able to purchase large amounts of Bitcoin off the books. These Bitcoin never reach a ledger (ie. exchanges, etc), and due to this such purchases don't affect the market initially. However, the whole point of these larger traders purchasing such large amount of coins (think tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of BTC at a time) is to obviously make profit off them. In doing so, it allows them to essentially manipulate the markets. Of course, its not possible to manipulate it enough to cause an immediate crash or incline, but there are enough coins being sold out there in such a manner to where the investors are able to use the purchased BTC to their advantage by shorting and what have you. From what I'm seeing through my research, this is happening at an unprecedented rate at the moment which is reflected in the falling price of BTC. Essentially, the rich are getting richer and as a result the rest of us are taking the fall for it.

Its the ultimate pump/dump IMO, and until the amount of unregulated coins are decreased from being purchased among these large traders, BTC will continue to fall like we're seeing. If you don't believe me, there is PROOF of such actions going on even despite the fact that you cannot see their actions on markets. All you have to do is watch the transactions on the blockchain for a day (especially a day like today where BTC is falling), and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. What this means for us smaller traders is that we need to be smart and try to ride the waves of these whales if possible. I've been trying myself, but its very difficult as they're always one step ahead of the pack given that they are the ones controlling the direction of the waves. There are still ways to make money off BTC even in a falling market, but to do so you have to be very smart about how you invest and know when to buy and when to sell. This is obviously something I'm still trying to figure out myself. Anyhow, I figured I'd at least throw this out there since I don't think most people know about this and it is very important to have in your knowledge box if you're involved with bitcoin. This is the downside to a decentralized currency, is that there always WILL be unregulated purchases/sales, hence the reason why cryptocurrency is so volatile compared to regulated fiat currency. This is also why governments are so scared of cryptocurrency. Hopefully, you learned something from my post and good luck to everyone here.

I dont know whats reason now behind its falling.

Bitcoin wont reach again its price level (ATH). How can you be sure of that?

We dont even know when the bull start and you already assessed that it wont be back to $19k-$20k?

It's not like the price won't rise before December. Anything can happen. The price may have full recovery within December and at the end of the year it may rise quite high like last year. I'm optimistic about this.

I think some manipulators are manipulating the price controlling the demand. However, the price fall may also caused by different FUD and negative rumors. I hope this is a temporary thing. The price will increased within December.

probably because of the Idul Fitri and school holidays. but if there is not another I also do not know.

  Quantam computer attack in a few year??? I think it's not gonna happen. And the fact you said long term investors selling their btc.. That's also nkt true. Only weak hands and noobs are selling at low orice. and the whales are only buyjng it rather than selling them. Because everyone knows Bitcoin will rise soon.

As a matter of fact, my point that I made above is being proven right now as I write this. Market is back up to $6180 currently, and if you look on the blockchain you'll see some massive transactions that have taken place.

You are right, also we cannot deny the fact that other reasons of the fall of the price are the antagonist of cryptocurrency who are always spreading fear and negativities about it in the mainstream media. There are just so many gulliable people who easily persuade by what they hear so as a result many are selling instead of holding.

The fact that I see most recently is that Bitcoin will recover very slowly. May drop below 4k. There are many reasons: the government does not accept.
  FB, TW Are banned Bitcoin ads, Goole also follows. etc.

As we know the crypto market is very much volatile so the ups and downs of the bitcoin is a very normal incident. Generally the fall for bitcoin is caused for the unpredictable big and small investments of the ameture investors.

Bitcoin has been working perfectly early this year and one a sudden bitcoin price drop to beyond expectations, that effect other alt-coins in the market, therefore the most reason why bitcoin is falling is the supply rates is higher than demand.

The basic of falling price of anything is the imbalance of demand and supply. In recent time, supply is sufficient comparing to demand. As a result, price is falling. Whenever, demand becomes higher than the supply, its price will rise high so fastly.

There are many theories revolving around this :

1) A recent hack on a big exchange. I do not agree with it as the volume traded was small there.

2) Indian exchanges panicking due to RBI ban date coming near. The date is coming near but volume traded there also is very small.

If we see trends in past years, this part of year has been like this only.

What makes you think that quantum computing is anywhere near a point where it can make an attack on the ECDSA part of Bitcoin? Even if that is the case people should have enough time to know in advance so that the developers can prepare alternatives to incorporate that are more resistant to quantum attacks.

I think there are a few reasons first the Indian top crypto exchange going to stop the trading with Indian rupees like deposits and withdrawal soon as per RIB notice, but still have time to know until 5th of July but indian investors are panic and selling their btc and one thing ico are going with scam projects.

Panic has been a very bad thing in the bitcoin market, what most time effect the Price is due to low demands in the market, once the demands become low it will have direct negative effect on the Price so at that good news and social media promotions will go a long way to bring to the notice of the general public the good rule bitcoin plays in they financial life.

Bitcoin falls because investors so want.  They want to invest more money for a low price, and then sell for a more expensive coin.

It seems to me that this is a normal course for such a large currency, now the bitcoin rests and no one can definitely say whether it will return to its highest price. In my opinion, he will return, but before that all those who are not sure will sell their savings.

I don't think that's the story here. How do you define "large currency". Just with the price or volume of the price? No, that's not the way things are. Bitcoins is most definitely most expensive currency but the usage of Bitcoin is still not large compared to other large currencies (dollar, eupo, chinese yuan etc). All savers who are in doubt wont not need to sell themselves off to set BTC in higher price, but they are the one who will keep holding which gonna cause the rise of the price.

it is possible that most projects can make falling bitcoin prices.

One simple reason for the fall of Bitcoin is the Lost of trust from people day by day.People are changing there investment from Bitcoin to altcoin.And that is understandable,if you see the growth rate of Bitcoin and compare it with alts like eth or even EOS,you can see the difference in that.In past few months the alts have control the market and there is only negative news like bans and bubble burst etc which we have seen regarding Bitcoin and that has decreased the trust of investors on Bitcoin.

I think the reason is because bitcoin did a inorganic movement from $4000 to $20000 within 2 months which I believe was not heathy for bitcoin

The falling of Bitcoin is base on several factor, presently it is as a result of the market correction that is ongoing and  the  factor of demand and supply, as a result of  mid year panic, the supply for sale of BTC is high, hence price will crash, no need to panic as BTC is sure to bounce back for an upward movement. Also other issue are negative news about cryptocurrency..

IMHO, if there was less altcoins, bitcoin wouldn't have decreaased so much.
Looks like the cryptocurrency world become a place where everybody says about every coins "I'm sure this coin has a great future!" So everybody (me too), just buy or mine some cryptos, hoping that it will "skyrocket soon" as we can read everywhere. Everybody says that his crypto is better than others because the previous one didn't take care about this or this and this crypto is different and bring new solutions to problems which could exists, but the problem is not here. The problem is that cryptocurrencies are still not used as a daily solution. The same about the bitcoin. In my mind, the price will get x2 only if it's really used 2x more.

And maybe, in the future (1, 2, 10, 100 years?) cryptos will be used by a lot of people. But for the moment, it's just a speculation bubble (I must overemphasize) and the value depend too much about selling and buying. Who, here buy any goods or do any transactions with cryptos? So, for the moment, it fluctuates. It's still just an investment, so it fluctuates almost randomly. Actually, why would you want bitcoin to reach 20.000$ Without a massive adoption, price won't be stable, and it can increase only if some rich people wants to invest in and make some money, then sell and it will decrease again and again...

I think anything can cause this dip in the price of cryptocurrency. Why are you people always shifting the cause of bitcoin dumps or dip to some events or so. It's possible for the price of bitcoin to drop when nothing really caused it, cause it is bond to drop and dip without nothing causing it, its is always in it nature to fluctuate.

there is a lot of fud on the market at the moment, and that is one of the main reasons of why EVERY altcoin on the market is going down, and that is not very surprising after all

Bitcoin falls because the market is based on wave patterns. We had a bullish wave for a year and now we are almost 7 months in a bear market. It was the same in the previous years. The difference is that previous jumps ended in extended bear markets that lasted more than a year. I believe that this one is going to be much shorter.

Nevertheless, the main criterion is that there is a repeated purchase of whales at the lowest points. I want to emphasize that there are many different iso on the market, and investors do not depend.

For me the main reason for the insane decline of bitcoin and the crypto market is this insecurity about the regulations to come. While this is not clear, investors have no appetite for risk

Bitcoin falls because this is crypto and prices cannot always be on the rise. There are times that there should be an opportunity for people in the crypto community to buy more and keep for the better days ahead. I fall in prices is not permanent and what we can do is to make good use of the opportunity. The time to buy is now before it is too late.

On the contrary, long-term investors will not do anything.Now they're pushing the price so the big players can buy. This is normal,we have seen a very rapid growth, now a correction.

To risk they have no appetite, but there is to profit.They now bite your elbows as you want to go but fear.Now, the major exchanges have addressed these issues in blizhashee time fear not.

I think it has nothing to do with the quantum computing attacks mate, this has debunked many times. The recent slump may have a combination of manipulation, FUD (exchanges hacks news) and news of regulations. Right now bitcoin is really on the dangerous levels and we didn't expect this things to happen in 2018. I guess everyone really should be very tactical in the way we are going to invest (short vs long term).

Bitcoin didn't lose trust from people, people are searching for low market cap coins and investing more money in new coins and new ideas. I introduced many people to bitcoin and I am still introducing people, it is just people buy bitcoin and then they use it to buy what I said before, cheap coins.

Bitcoin market is not so fragile and easily shaken. The biggest problems right now that keep pulling the price down are baseless FUDs, alongside manipulations and restrictions. This recent fall was mostly unexpected, it came as a flash and now every other thing is down as well.

Last year we had a similar situation, although the fall was not so dramatic. And the market began to recover after BTC and ETH price reached the mining cost level. Part of the major mining centers were even working at a loss for some period of time.
And now we again came close to this point. Let's hope that we will rebound again from this support level and go into growth. Preferably smoothly and for a long time

I will tell that the reason behind this price fall is supply and demand of the market. Moreover, there is also a big reason which is there are a lot of big whales in the market. They affect the market with there movement.

the occurrence of negative news on leading media will affect the thinking of bitcoin owners, what else new people know bitcoin. so it's a bustling race to take it off to keep their assets.
it is this condition that results in an abundance of bitcoin in the market which will cause a price reduction.

Its falling because whales wish to accumulate bitcoins at a cheaper rate. It will come back eventually however will take time.

As far as I know, there are several reasons why bitcoin prices are down :
Many countries either threaten to ban or issue regulations on cryptocurrency (such as China, Korea, USA, India).
New amendments to the US Tax Code - see cryptocurrency as property and many types of transactions will be taxed.
Visa and Mastercard networks stop all debit cards for cryptocurrency.
Many countries have increased ICO-related regulations (such as the United States, China, South Korea).
Many countries have increased the rules and regulations on KYC standards for trading floors in their territory.

As my opinion, the main reason of bitcoin's price falling down is cryptocurrency exchangers get hacked. Investors are worry about safe of their money. So they decide selling, there are too many sell bitcoin making price of bitcoin going down.

The reason why bitcoin falls maybe it is because of the fake news that being spread online..We knew that the market value of BTC is volatile. Those people who were frighten with the negative impact of the news get panic. Just be cautious and have more patience in dealing with BTC.

what you think is not necessarily true, and I will not be so confident with any news that bitcoin you say will not be able to return to the final price of 2017 yesterday, I hope there is still a miracle that bitcoin will be able to rise higher than the price of 2017 yesterday, ntah it may still take a long time, I was in bitcoin deliberately to invest long term rather than short term.

I don't consider cost bitcoin went down due to the quantum registering, in my own investigation bitcoin went down on account of the awful news originate from mtgox can be seen on here https://news.bitcoin.com/mt-gox-loan bosses legitimate triumph tremendous resources for be-returned/and the impact of awful news will be done in couples weeks after the fact, bitcoin won't be kicked the bucket just by awful news related with hacking issues and quantum figuring.

Bitcon fall because something change in crypto, big investors sell their coins.
Maybe she know something what we dont.
Or she wait new money and when it not comes fall price lower and lower

This is partly true. while quantum plays a role in the way the price index of the crypto assets, the wide range of events and circumstances - like the recent hack of an exchange - leaves a bearish effect on the price of assets too.

The main reason of bitcoin fall is that it has grown so fast and so far in a short period of time that people are thinking does it really worth it or not.  And also after such peak, it needs to rest a little bit until the next lot of motivated buyers comes into market.  They will eventually come once they realize the the price of bitcoin has fallen so much and potential of blockchain.

Bitcoin falls because that's the way it should work. Every time BTC falls, it raise more after a while.
Be patient and you will be rewarded. Maybe it will not reach 100k, but for sure it will have another ATH this year.

FUD and dumpers are in the market now.
this is a big bearish season all we need to do to help bitcoin price is to leave the market and hold.
if you want to hold more buy and leave.

There has been a lot of fud that spread for this year causing continues massive panic selling. Whale investors are also part of the price manipulation. Anyways, Im going to continue hodling until market recovers.

No one knows what will happen in the future it all depends on the market situation but if someone has the big amount of bitcoin then they can manipulate the prices,but we are the reason for the whole dump who will sell their coins when see a downtrend in the price chart.Simply if the demand changes the price also changes so if you want profits you need to buy them when the prices are low.

It might just be caused by FUD and also manipulations by whales at times who already missed the train of Bitcoin grow and trying to force the price down to gather more till the bullish run started again..

I think the supply and demand also decrease in this year then bitcoin make failed start.many big investor already change their opinion,their already sell have been hold coins. Bitcoin value increase and make recover our money need to long time.i hope it's last year come to good news about Bitcoin value.

even it wouldn't return to price level of december 2017 i think now bitcoin price already high too if compared with last 2 year. and long term investor/holder must be already get much amount of profit because of it

There are many theories as to why bitcoin is falling consistently. Whales?, dumps?, manipulations?, government sabotage?.  The honest truth is that there is little or nothing we can do about it and the best is to wait it out. Take advantage of the dip and acquire some more because the price will definitely go back up sometime soon.

Why is bitcoin falling? the long haul bitcoin holders would offer their bitcoin because of a paranoid fear of an assault with quantum figuring that could occur inside a couple of years, therefore they would envision to get their benefits previously it continues falling further? .. the truth of the matter is that bitcoin won't come back to the value levels of December 2017

In simple things it's just demand and supply rule and the bigger thing is ... Something that's unpredictable because there are so many things influencing it at the same time.

Some countries are banning it.
People are moving onto etherum.
Big whales are trying to sell them at the same time so that they can literally make money out of it .
New policies for it.
Increased taxes on Bitcoins.

It's just that people are encashing at the end of the day and the reason to that thing is something that we don't know.

No one can exactly pin point why is that happening, it's happening is the only thing that we know of.

I don't think there is only one or several reasons for current market condition. Most likely it's all together.
In addition, the crypto currency is in trend, and many big players with money already entered crypto market or are looking for good opportunity (like now). Although I'm not a supporter of conspiracy theories, but I am sure that there is a lot of speculative component in growth and fall these days.

In a speculative market any price is possible and the price will always remain volatile. Bitcoin price is actually going down for the past 1 week and has not still abated. who knows where the support will be before the price reversal.

Their could be a lot of speculations and sources of why the market is down these days, but one thing is for sure, their is a huge selling of altcoins thats happening. If you look at the market, altcoins dropped more percentage than bitcoin, meaning to say, people starts dumping their alts and exchange it to btc to fiat.

There are many reasons for Bitcoin to fall and the main reason is the whales selling their bunch of Bitcoins and making the market favor for them. Another reason is the two exchanges got hacked recently and their investors crypto has been vanished. Apart from these two reasons I don't think there is specific reason for the fall in price and I really lost hope about Bitcoin price now a days.

After 2017 the price of btc is falling drastically based on this most of the coins in the market is infected for a price based on this every coins price get low based on the crypto market also proper monitoring is one of the main cause also many govt. banned this cryptocurrency its also cause of falling price.

Bitcoin falls and other coins too has fallen and we cannot deny the fact others has a weak hands. Losing hope on the market trends was experience during these days. This bitcoin falls has so many reasons yet I have no doubt we can see good a signs and more support to increase the price.

Quantum computing? are you serious about this? another conspiracy theory I guess, crypto is quantum computing resistant I read it somewhere from an article that explains the risk of this, that's not the main issue here you are just the one who pulls that matter, Regulation, market manipulation, exchange hacking that slightly affects the volume but that is not the main impact it is another machinery for fuds and more read up the news and stay updated.

Numerous factors can be considered that cause bitcoin to fall. The wild price swings were due to price manipulation by the whales, could also be of negative news or banning issues. These can be out of control but we can educate and train ourselves to be patient and gain knowledge to be able to deal these situations wisely and productively.

Well, the cryptocurrency market is fluctuating due to various reasons. Many reasons are responsible for this. But soon, the prices will start rising again and by the end of 2018 it will have reached a far stable position.

It doesn't matter anymore what people come up with, it's all clear that they want to talk down on Bitcoin and make it seem like it's going to face problems. One way or another, the amount of shit Bitcoin is showered in just points out how much we need it. The more certain people are going against it, the more I believe that we are on the right track. People are brainwashed by governments and traditional market standards, and even to such degree, that they don't even realize how they are missing the main point of Bitcoin. Bitcoin has been speaking for itself by growing larger and gaining more adoption, we don't need to proof anything anymore.

Basically there are many reason behind this based on this not only btc but also most of the coins are suffering for price also this have some points because of supply and demand the price is falling and proper monitoring I guess affect a lot also many scams make people demotivate to invest.

I believed that Bitcoin will crash if someone will initiate to sell a huge amount of Bitcoin that will make the price to decline a little bit but it will make some holders to panic making them to sell too and also they said that the Bitcoin hacking incident on coinrail in South Korea in which the hackers already sold the stolen Bitcoin therefore I think any of these will really trigger the price to fall because the event is unpredictable and uncontrollable too.

it seems the main reason why bitcoin prices fall because maybe bitcoin has bad news that makes a lot of people panic and sell bitcoin owned at cheap prices, when bitcoin should be more expensive than this price because bitcoin will be more difficult to obtain.

we are waiting for the end of this year. There will be an increase like in 2017. I think it will be an improvement like in the previous year. In 2018 there are many who complain because the price is decreasing. Everyone feels panicked and in a hurry to sell it. I think it's just doing the repair.

The reason why market falls down some country increase their regulations about Crypto Currency,same like South Korea  the justice minister initially banning all the exchanger this is a big impact and bringing a big hammer down in market manipulation and other unlawful crypto trading practises,and China authorities are attacking all the trading exchanges in their Country.

There is no specific reason why bitcoin and almost coins are dropping. Since the year 2018, its value dramatically continue to decreased and eventually some can't actually control their emotions which they fall to sell their btc. With so many hacking that is happening in crypto world, I can say that it also contribute its fall down. However, let us just hope that in the next month price will recover so that those who hodl can take a deep breath and continue to support the cryptos.

Though i share your optimism towards the end of this year, i don't think it'll be in the same scale as the december surge. Who knows when we can even get back to that 20k level. Though the market should get out of the bears' lair before we end the year

this reason is still quite confusing because there is no proof of fact a site or others many say because the new coins are more potential to rise and some say also big investors take their shares to play the world cup gambling.

Due many negative news spread about bitcoin is the reason of bitcoin falls. And another reason the whales are manipulating the market according to their own. That's why the price of bitcoin falls again and again. But today the prixe starts to increase i think it will continue in near future. By the end of this year surely the price will touch the moon.

The major reason is the demand factor which is cleared to all of us because we have studied the market and know many things. I will discuss the relevant things about the market which is currently suffering from down falls and the lowest value recorded yesterday which 5.8k dollar was yesterday. So the price increased a little today and this is due to the demand rate which controls the value.

Well, its sad to say but not everyone thinks the way we think. Mediocre investors can be a huge factor for btc to either fall or rise, not only the big players in crypto space. Depends on the number of people who buy or dump their assets, they can somehow affect the price. But when the whales manipulate the market, they could make it anytime.

Price of Bitcoin depends upon it's demand.We often notice that the price fluctuates whenever there is a news regarding Bitcoin.This is because these news affects the mindset of the investors.Whenever there is a news against Bitcoin,we often notice a drop in it's price.This drop keeps on increasing because the investors starts selling their BTC's on large scale because they feel that price will not rise again and they want to get maximum out of their investments which further drops the price.So we can say that price falls whenever the demand for Bitcoin decreases.

Bitcoin falls due to shock arising from outside the market like if a country bans Bitcoin, the people of the country refrain from investing any more because this is considered an illegal activity. Besides, price manipulators can alter or reduce the prices by selling big as a result of which the demand falls thereby reducing the prices as well. However the prices do not fall forever because of the dynamic nature of the market.

I think it's because the price is manipulated by the whales and they still want to buy bitcoin at the lower price and in another side, they have a huge bitcoin in their wallet and they are ready to sell their bitcoin in any price. after they do this, they will place the buy order in the price that they want and they will get the bitcoin again. but it seems, the whales don't do this because the market is not moving so fast and it's up and down for a little price so what I think then it's not because of the whales.

If we look into the market value graph it was a stable value sometime and unstable sometime or with fluctuations. This market is not stable due to one main reason which is the demand rate, once it increases then the value will follow the increase trend and once it decreases the value will follow decrease trend. Now wait for the demand rate to go high so that the value will increase.

No it will never crash because the decreasing price doesn’t mean that it will crash in the future. No doubt that many people has withdrawn or converted their money to Altcoin but bitcoin still in the leading crypto in the market and possessing highest market cap in the world of crypto. Don’t be disappoint too much and be optimistic about the bright future.

There are generally two reasons for BTC's decline, the decline caused by too much rise or a series of news about BTC's disadvantage, which all happen from time to time. :(

There are several market factors which are changing with different positions and alter the value of Bitcoin. The major market factor about which most of the investors know well is the demand rate, once the rate increase then the value will also increase. We just need to work according to the current market situations, as the market value is low these days so I will invest with more amounts to collect more Bitcoins.

Mostly because of whales and people who got in on december. Whales who sell of their profits make a huge dent. There was also a lot of people back in december who got in whether they had thousands of dollars or couple bucks, everyone was trying to make a quick profit from it.

Now that those people are gone , they sold off their profits or losses and go back to their lives we are stuck here with their sell offs, combine those whales and "get rich quick" people, the price is still great compared to what it was before them.

Bitcoin is going to return to the price it was in December and go as high as $50,000 to $100,000 before 2020. I think  the future of bitcoin is very bright and we are to buying now if we actually want to be part of the big market players in the future.  We are at a state when new investors are coming into the market and that means bitcoin is going into the hands of new investors.7

New investors are already entering, but people don't see any of that. They only think that new investors are entering when the price is going up, but that's not how institutions and other large parties work; they don't buy on the way up, but accumulate as efficiently and silently as possible on the way down. They aren't going to buy thousands of coins in one go and bump the market up badly, they likely buy a few coins every now and then and let that pile up during months of accumulation.

The market will get a proper boost, but only when more weak hands are shaken out, which isn't really the case since people with a severe virtual loss are dedicated to hold.

And then I haven't even mentioned what happens through OTC markets.

The market price is depending on supply and demand so obviously, the market will always drop if most of the people will prefer on selling their coins more than investing a huge amount.

Whales read emotions through the chart and they know when people have gotten greedy enough since they are usually the market makers anyway. One thing I have seen so far is that, there is no way bitcoin was not meant to fall after last year's FOMO as this was inevitable already at some point and now that we are seeing it fall, rather than some people taking the chance to get in by accumulating bit by bit as it goes lower, they are instead panicking.

How is that ever supposed to help any of them in the long run ?

many reasons that make bitcoin prices fall back. well, we should know, that not always bitcoin prices will go up continuously. there will be people who sell the bitcoin they have for a matter, whether it's in small quantities, or large. it will continue to affect the bitcoin price.

This might be some sort of market manipulation coupled with the abundance of newbie investors panic selling. We also might have reached the point where people already know of cryptocurrecies. IMO, the whales are plotting something again so keep them from buying cheap coins by holding more.

Many people have thought about the possibility of an attack with quantum computers but right now quantum computers are just a dream, they are nowhere near as good as regular computers and even if they realize their potential there are algorithms that can resist quantum computers.

The reason why bitcoin falls.

Maybe because of the bitcoin holders and they neglected it. Of course, it's uncertain if it was the case why the price dropped. And one can not tell if the guilty one really is sinking why the price of bitcoin has fallen.
Because we do not own it. The bitcoin rate will automatically move when he wants to move so there is nothing to blame.

many of us know that the market has been manipulated by the whales and some of this is true. like in yesterday, bitcoin price gets pump high and reach $74xx so I think besides the whales, there are many people that help the price increase higher. and if this continues, then we might see the bitcoin price increase so high and maybe it will reach $8000. I still waiting for the price reach higher and I think many people still do the same as me.

There is many reason that make bitcoin fall. Like politic, fake news and many more. But we just wait until bitcoin is up with hold the price that what you want and then don't panic if the price is going down

Same question again and again. Everybody wants to know the reason for the dropping price of bitcoin and the answer is also the same. There are many reasons for price fall. The big reason for downing price is demand from all over the world. The demand has decreased and so the price. When the demand for bitcoin increases, the price will also increase.

There are many more reason behind this. Bitcoin is associated with many criminal activities and serious cyber crime because of this it is ban in different countries and the negative effect show in its price. Another reason is  its decentralised nature which is the biggest reason behind its falling price. Because of this many government ban it in their respective countries. There are many Altcoin present which act as a speed break in bitcoin progress and those coins also being a reason in the falling price of bitcoin.

Well most of the times it is because people are selling their coins because of fud on the market, and that pressures a lot of people to keep selling, and prices go down like a rollercoaster. It is normal, specially on bear markets.
