For the current day, the prices of the main crypto-currencies show a steady decline, what could this be related to? Is it because of some rumors? And as a result - a panic sale?

crypto people nee to accept the fact that this is how market react when it boomed to much during December 2017 - January 2018 & then the  bearish trend started. what happened back then wasn't healthy at all & mae it look like the worst kin of bubble, now we'll have to wait even more to get back to BTC @10k (it can be month, years, who knows).

The lat " crash " you''re referring too was kind of " market shaking " to make the domino effect, so the scared traders / holders will Tether or dump or cashout.

Now from a technical perspective, this can be a good sign that we're heading to the last bearish wave which can be a bi bloody (new bottom probably). From there we'l have to wait for the next move, which can be the next bu run, but i don't expect it to be as fast as the last one, but who knows.

In all truth, the market is still very unstable and this is largely because the growth of Q4 2017 is more of a result of hype rather than an organic growth, therefore the correction this year gas not been pleasant and it may still continue for a while, pending on some regulations.

The movement of prices in the market depends on the demand and supply of the currencies available. If the prices of the coins go down  much it is because the coins are not much trusted. Sometimes prices fly down as a result of bad projects.

I was surprised because the exchange rate dropped sharply today when before the exchange rate of the cryptocurrency market has just increased in exchange rates a few days ago. IMO, the rapid decline in rates is due to investors panic sell and take profit at ETH exchange rate $ 300. I hoped that by the end of 2018 ETH rates will rise to $ 1,000.

A lot of people have been selling their bitcoin for the ETF news and you can see that we will be so close to the next ETF deadline and i guess there will be a huge sell off when there will be a news about the bitcoin have rejected by the SEC. This will become a very difficult thing to the bitcoin and whole of crypto dude.

I think that the fall that happened today was influenced by this news - "The bitcoin purse, which was $ 800M, was activated"- https://news.bitcoin.com/800m-btc-wallet-reactivates-tens-of-millions-to-exchanges/

I think so many investors are pulling out due to the red market , FUD every where and then. All men selling at lost in other to hold capital atleast.

Yes everyone of us was wondering what is happening right now because the value in market was falling down and we are thinking that market value will rise again? Or not? We hope that we gain again and will rise again. But based on the specualtion of those big investor was it will rise and don't lose hope. We need to trust and believe.

Do not worry that is normal movement  for cryptocurrency i seen as of now the price of bitcoin are stable and have good sign to stay uprise hope not only the bitcoin hope all aktcoin follow to uprise in their king.

      One should note that Market is Volatile, it is unpredictable, anything can happened at any given time during the trading market.  Bad rumors or even panic reaction could result to spike up the price value or worst is the down stream reaction. the KEY in this kind of market situation is PATIENT.

Some say its because of ETH rewards going down, but you can't know what the real reason is.

There's of course panic sale involved, but there are more things than just that. But this time, altcoin drop influenced bitcoin to drop, its not a good thing, but a stereotype is destroyed.

This is normal to see this price these days because there are some group of whales that can sell large amount of bitcoin this is I think the reason why the price drops a lot.
Or the possible reason may be another Bitcoin ETFs rejected happen yesterday that I think traders could sell bitcoin before the price decreases again.

Also, read the latest news from CNBC that I think can help to know what happened to the price. Check from here https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/05/bitcoin-falls-after-goldman-reportedly-drops-crypto-trading-plans.html

I do not know why it is always down, maybe the cause is because people who feel panicked, when someone feels panic with this kind of situation they are most likely to start selling at a cheap price and that is why the price decreases.

it is a very natural thing in the cryptocurrency market so we must be patient in responding to this and not selling it because of panic

Rumors? I don't think so. I don't hear any negative news lately so probably this is not the real reason for the dip. Come on guys, don't suddenly presume that there are bad news here in crypto world where there is none in the first place. This things create FUDs which is very bad  :-\

I guess this is just a usual dip. Like all the times. For now, let's keep an eye in the market and be ready for more coin hoarding (in case that it drops deeper) ;D.

A lot of guys here are talking about market fundamentals and true markets.  This is about as maniupulated as you can get.  This is not a free market.  The ride up in 2017 and the ride down in 2018 was all manipulation and not real market forces. 

I think that in the next month the market should begin to recover, but on the other hand there are no special prerequisites for this. We just wait.

More often than not, prices fall because trading volume stops or slows down.

We like to think that bad news affects the market, but it doesn't have as significant an effect as we think.

Whenever there is a spike in price, this causes a "Mini Pump" and people start buying and selling.
During that small rise in price, people start putting up higher and higher sell orders.
Once the small burst finishes, people don't trade as much and suddenly, sellers realize they aren't selling for a higher price so they start putting lower priced sell orders up.
The result? Prices go down.

It is a natural effect of supply and demand.
Whenever the demand is higher than the supply, prices go up.
And then, when there is too much supply and not much demand, prices go down.

The only unique thing about crypto is that it is so volatile because there is so much speculation going on.

There's a panic and dump caused by the silk road wallet.(https://bitcoinist.com/silk-road-sell-off-theories-emerge-fresh-movement-800m-bitcoin-wallet/)

It really has to recover but if it won't work well next month, then we have to say the same thing that it must go and recover for another month.

Yesterday, in addition to the whale selling the bitcoins, they were sold on several exchanges and almost 200,000 eth. This is very similar to the manipulation of the market https://www.trustnodes.com/2018/09/05/flash-sell-off-200000-eth-sends-price-20-250 (https://www.trustnodes.com/2018/09/05/flash-sell-off-200000-eth-sends-price-20-250)

This is the crux issue in cryptocurrency and the major scare in dealing with cryptocurrencies as a whole. While supply and demand plays a role in cryptocurrency markets, I think Exchanges should think outside the box to control the amount of coin that is tradable at each instant to have a bit control on sudden bearish markets. The future/trust in cryptocurrency, in my opinion, has a lot to do with high volatility of cryptocurrency markets.

The thing is that, they didn't boomed at all, I mean, bitcoin increase to 8K a few months ago and then dropped to 6K, it was recovering and then... 6K again, that was unexpected, and that is why is causing controversy.

Anyone who might know why the market is so volatile, either is lying or has confidential information, is extremely difficult to know because events occur in the cryptos, the only thing we know is that there were large sales in a short period of time, so we can think that either someone decided to withdraw and sold their bitcoins or are trying to manipulate the market.

Sad to say, but i'm now more worried about the rumors that talk a lot about market manipulation. What we could be seeing is a result of a person/group of people trying to sell crypto slowly. They sell, wait for it to accumulate, then sell again, in order not to crash the price so much.

Of course, this is just speculation. I still believe in the long term future of crypto. Surely, value then will be way more than what we have now.

Exactly, then include the possibility of price manipulation of some whales on it to buy more coins at the very cheap price, this is a very normal scenario since then, so it is not new, but im just wondering that why do people get panic if this falls already done before.

Well,  manipulators, they created  fake news carried by the media, amplified by YouTuber and Influnecers and then the market collapsed. Goldman Sachs came out to refute the news after the damage has been done

Everyone has his own theory as to why the market is bleeding. Its really bad if someone sells $100M worth of bitcoin should shake the market. We're still in infancy. There's more room for improvement.

According to aome news articles, the sharp fall of major cryptocurrencies is somehow related to the rumored that Goldman Sachs Bank will not going to continue putting up cryptocurrency trading desk. Now, so what if this bank will not do not? How important is this "cryptocurrency trading desk", for the investors to panic?

It is normal. It is market. If you have funds, take advantage of this bearish market to hold more coins thatvyou sure is a real project and has spot in the future. Do some reviews before taking the risk though.

I think its because of panic selling. Big investors trying to minimize their loss by selling. They lost their confidence of the coin that they were hodling and grew tired of waiting for price increase. Its so easy to say that we need to HODL on these situation but in reality that is the hardest thing to do especially if you have limited capital. Big whales experience the same thing but on a much larger scale.

I think it flies down because people a group of people want the price to be down

all that is left is to be strong and courageous and ensure to hodl your tokens rightly as an individual

Don’t be mesmerized or feel pressured
Bull run awaits

I don't think that's going to happen for the next month. I have a hope that he will be able to recover a little before the end of this year, but with such speed with which the market falls, it becomes clear that the bulls still need a lot of time to recover their strength.

This is still happening as a surprise to me, especially, ethereum. The token just keep dropping and sinking without any hope that it would recover soon.

I personally think that current fall was due to bearish dominancy and completion of bullish correction but at the same time market was manipulated by the whales as well, however i expect that lo g term bulls will be back in the market soon, i expect this month will surprise us before ending.

There are media's and news that can actually change the mind set of every investors and traders, that is the reason why the price of the market can drop or dump depending on the situation.

I'm sure that whales are dumping crypto during 2018 and we need another big whales that will beleive in blockchain and crypto technologies and want to invest billions of fiat in BTC, ETH and other promising projects. It is necessary to expel speculators from crypto!

I think regarding the lower prices
It is a game? A game played by great manipulators ( a large pool of individuals bringing down the prices of tokens so that they can buy severally more cheaper)

Which is why Hodler have to avoid fud and also avoid panic sale
The crypto currency market is for the fittest and the strongest

Many people have lost faith and patience in cryptocurrency and they don't believe in it. Crypto needs strong people to be involved in it

Get used to it since this is how Cryptocurrency prices do moves. It can moon anytime and it can dump or wreck anytime.Basing on either technical or fundamentals which fuds and shills are inclusive.
We have seen price had slowly rises on past few weeks and when that ETF rejection do happen the price had dumped down.We don't know if that's the actually reason but these kind of negative news can really
make such impact.

Search for the word "fluctuation" and "volatility" and somehow you will understand what the heck is going on. How come rumors can dictate what will be the price movement in the future. Cryptos are composed of big and large hoarder and average crypto holder. If those large hoarder did some dump, they can shake the market. And that market shake will result for those average crypto holders to do the same and that's how the dump will begin = panic.

Now for what is the specific reason, we all don't know since generally, there are lots of events we can point here that can be associated why the price decline recently.

The reasons that the prices of the coins are down so much is because way too much money is leaving the market on a daily basis, the fact is people are dumping too many coins on the market and there is not enough demand of coins in the market to make sure that it is balanced. So where there is more supply than demand, the price of the commodity tends to go down.

No one knows what really happened or what is happening for sure, and this is sad. Everyone is just making assumptions, or coming up with theories that they deem fit. it is sad to see that no one can exactly state what is going on, and when exactly it would be over. I hope that this bloodbath we have been experiencing for months now comes to an end soon, and there is revival in the market again.

I don't see any rumors that crypto prices have fallen for now. the possibility of this is manipulation. Yes, the market pattern is almost the same every month, but this month it has dropped further for all altcoins. and the worst possibility will occur in the coming months

I do think that the last price drop was caused by the fact that goldman did not create an bitcoin etf. This caused the market to fall down. But in the end it really does not matter in my opinion that there is no etf. You have to look at the fundamental improvements of bitcoin. The etf listing is just for the gamblers

I think prices goes down because of the panic sellers, they were afraid that the market will be gone. Whales were also one of those, they just invest a huge amount and when they see that it increases they will just sell it directly and would result to a low demand. Thus, small holders will be affected to these crisis.

It seems to me that crypto assets were overvalued and now market is trying to find the true value for crypto assets. As we can see, institutional traders are selling crypto assets  and there is no flow of retail investors who want to buy that is why prices are slashing lower an lower. I am sure that the downtrend will be continue in next several months because so strong downtrend cannot be changed instantly. Moreover I do not see any positive factors in the near future which could effect positively on the crypto market. It is possible that there will be any weak uptrend in 2019 but the current year will be obviously strong bearish will the end.

During this time, the BTC rate remained stable at more than $ 6,000, but the ETH rate fell rapidly, to just under $ 190. There are some reasons for ETH's declining exchange rates, but one recent cause is that ETH's transaction fees have soared, causing the ETH to fall sharply. Without any improvement or updating, we fear that the ETH will continue to decline.

Rumors that resulted people to panic.

When there are bad news that usually give the people a reason to panic sell like the statement of Vitalik which is the well known co-owner and developer of ETH. How can someone that's very well optimistic before say that? its likely to be a FUD and FUDs will never be gone if there's an agenda to the market.

But it looks like even the strong holders are being weaken right now and i could say this will become another interesting thing for those have been selling their altcoins before the price was flying down.
Vitalik has created an FUD statement that was affecting the sentiment of the market.

The current decline is still in the manipulation of big whales in my opinion, so don't worry about this kind of situation, and surely a few days later the increase will occur again, because this year the market is still in an unstable state. So my advice remains patient, don't panic and wait until a strong recovery occurs

now a lot of negative news, China is blocking some information channels on cryptocurrencies, sec does not accept ETF for bitcoin, India can not decide on legalization and so on

I think this dipping value of cryptocurrency is due to the panic selling of the holders. It seems that they loose hope, and think that this market will not recover for the next 1yr. They don't really understand what's or how this cryptoworld works. And yet they keep on dreaming to be wealthy by joining in cryptoworld.

With every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. With the huge sudden rise, there comes a huge sudden fall. Some know this as a correction. It happens with any kind of physical and technological assets, or the stock Market!

Manipulators sell off tons of stock which causes a sell off.  This in turn scares off retail investors.  It creates a self fulfilling prophecy.  Then they churn the market at lows to fatigue weak hodlers.  Once they stock up and they are collecting less that what bottom buyers are buying then the rally begins.  Complete and utter manipulation. 

It is because of the month already that the bitcoin price is not stable and is going down, causing all the other coins especially ethereum and the other tokens to go crash its price. Some of the people are doing panic sell causes more tremor to its price.

It can't be denied that even the best has its weakness.

And for us who are dealt and has lived for this market will feel the same for the ones. But its different on our case because we have experience. We usually know that these causes the price to skyrocket soon after the massive dumps.

Let's hope that this time too there will be a rapid growth. Although the hope for it is less and less.

BTC Dominance has increased today 56.2%

And we're simply on the green market again. I'd rather want a slowly but surely movement for the market than the rapid growth that many strives to get with. But rapid growth and gains are fairly normal in crypto but decrease and rapid losses are fairly the same.

they (whales) push you to sell what ever you have with loss. when bull is come few people left with all them portfolio.

People continue to withdraw more money than to start the crypto currency market! We need to stop this to increase which was continued!

in my opinion because of the many rumors that are not good about crypto, there are many bad news outside of crypto and its future. and that can have an effect on crypto prices so that the day the price decreases. and there may still be many reasons behind the decline in cryptocurrency prices.

price is directly related to demand and supply.
a token need to gain client's trust and get them to buy the token and used the said token to trade.
Keeping the token alive is what that will keep the price high

I'm most worried that when everyone thinks it's going down, they will mass-sell fomo to sell their Bitcoin and altcoin, and we'll see panic sell everywhere :-\

Actually this is normal and it has been proven from the year before.
If in 2017 many ask "why is the price of cryptocurrency so rapidly rising?" .
So now there are many questions like you.

When all release easily then it will only bring to the situation getting worse. but in fact, this is the usual thing that happens in crypto. many are hoping many may like what happened last year but did not want to pass through the process.

Because the market is bored so investors are waiting for further hype.
I'm sure in this year there will be a bull run at the end

The market is on the real value of Crypto! Value is not the quantity imposed for a long time on the market! The new development is the value of Crypto!

It is very important for us to know that Cryptocurrency is highly volatile and cannot be predicted at anytime. And this is the reason why anything can happened in any given time during trading. Any rumors or bad news can suddenly take the price down and if one is not patient, you will rush to sell.

Basically, it is related to supply and demand but there are other factors that affect the market price.

People with huge amount of funds aim to get more profit from the market so they tend to manipulate them.  With their capability to produce high demand and high supply, they are  able to play with the market prices.  If these whales thing that it is time to accumulate, they use their fund to keep the prices down by simply releasing a huge chunk of supply to the market and pinning the price down.  This is one of the reason why market goes down atm.

Prices fall because people sell cryptocurrency, If not sold the price would not fall, and grew. New investors are deterred by scammers and not the stability of the market, I would not want to invest in the past year, a million, first earn x4-X10, and this year I would have had less my million and it could steal scammers. Of course I would be afraid to invest big money in our market.

Prices go down when demand drops, Cryptos are just like any other commodity and their prices are determined by the supply and demand balance in the market. When there is more supply than there is demand the prices drop which is what is happening now. We are just waiting for demand to pick up and then the market will recover

Crypto market has high volatility, many factors that influence crypto price, such as government regulation, exchange listing, good or bad news about crypto, etc. But this can not be a reason for us to do "a panic sell", because it is not a good thing to do anything in the panic condition.

I think that panic plays a significant role in the fall of the market. I think that in the nearest future, this will come to an end. People will accept btc and the idea of digital currency

It's about the trend basically the demand remain the same because in fact that the last pump bitcoin has been telling us about the possibility for bitcoin to get a big pump. The demand will be following the trend. Trend was giving a huge impact to the crypto when a lot of people are FOMO of a coin and then there will be more demand want to buy that.

Because there are so many scam projects now,
Be careful, they seem to have very good projects. but after they get investors and are not responsible. they don't care how people help him in this project which makes the investors' confidence disappear which causes the crypto price in the market to drop dramatically, hopefully they quickly become aware and stop making fake projects

As per some big crypto traders and analyzers the bearish trend is near to end and the current state of market is the bottom so hope at the end of this year some good improvement we will see in market.

I think many people are easily  believe to the fact that it was very critical for when the market is in bear mode trend. many people do panic buy and sale. due to the rumors many people easily swayed by scammers

I think prices raised too much and a lot of people became rich by crypto investments. And then they converted it to the real money to spend. So matket goes down..

what happens in my opinion for market now that the market is correcting prices that occur in 2017, because in 2017 prices have risen very high and this year the market price has dropped due to price adjustments and now is the actual price, but I'm sure the market price will definitely increase again in the next 2-3 years.

If you cant take the damage you can quit and do that "panic selling" thing but remember after every storm there is a sunshine waiting for us.

If there's always a good market then there will be no problem in cryptocurrency and all of us now are rich  ;D so these things that happen recently for me is normal.

I think why prices in the market goes down and down because there are many people have the coins so that the supply and demand of the coins are getting lower so that the price is getting down also. But if they panic sell all of these many people will lose those coins and the demand of the coins will increase and the market value will increase also.

I am agree with your opinion. Price rising on december 2017 is too fast and many people taking profits at highest price. But i do believe market will recovery again and i am still believe crypto market cap still undervalue and in the future will reach trillion dollar market cap

there are many factors that cause this to happen. certainly due to accidents and prolonged corrections. this is the problem we are facing a downward trend so strong this year. some experts say that the crypto market takes a long time to stabilize

The reason why Cryptocurrency prices falls down because some people spreading false news and negative feedback about Cryptocurrency, that's why others token holders are afraid that they may lose their profit if they continue hold it,and they don't know that panic selling is one of the reason why the token prices goes down because of the large supply in the market.

yes, there is always a decline in market prices until now is a prolonged correction but many experts say that the current market price movements are quite normal, and to increase the price movement again can take a long time.

Prices fly down when people are selling and you cannot blame people for selling when prices are up and they are making a good amount of profit from the coins. There is also the fact that there are people who keep panic selling whenever they see a small increase or decrease in the price of the coin. We just need more money coming into the market than money leaving

these are the laws of the market that everyone knows - after growth there is a fall and just the opposite. everything is fine in the future will still be able to grow well

Understand, this market. It will never move only up. If he grew up all the time, it wouldn't make sense. In addition, the trader earns thanks to the volatility of the market

I don't know maybe rumors are circulating right, I don't know, but if you think it's true, bitcoin is indeed regulated by big sailors, they try to suppress the price of bitcoin after rising a few%, but if it's true, this will hurt many parties, especially for new investors.

After a fall, growth will surely come, but for the time being it is necessary to bring out advantages from the current market situation, for example, new knowledge about crypto and trading.

Correction for one and FUD.

There will be no market bump in the nearest future. There will be only dumps and small recovery, so it is all you need to worry about right now.

yes, maybe they panic because of rumors about bitcoin or maybe because a lot of scammers sell cheaply, causing a dump price, and I think the forum admin must set a rule to reduce ICO scams

As far as I know, the market is down as many investors have withdrawn capital from Cryptocurrency. There was also some negative information regarding Crypto when the prosecution involved Bitcoin, which made people panic and sell all that made the whole market plummet.

Panic selling must have contributed to the consistent price decline. People are worried about losing more money, that's why some opted to cut their losses. This might be the best year for crypto, but I still believe that the beginning of the year will be great for everyone.

I was very surprised when I saw the performance of btc and altcoin not increasing significantly and finally, btc will touch $ 3,000 and $ 3,200 hopefully I will be the last support before the bull run

Some of tokens show stable growth even in such terms. Find them and invest them - it is the best you can do to remain profitable for long time.

The issue of bitcoin cash fork,  Craig FUD and other negative press  was the initial attack on the price of Cryptocurrency.  Afterward,  we have seen serious panic sell and the sell pressure is mounting!  Until the sellers finish selling,  the Cryptocurrency prices will keep dumping!

Now no rumors in my opinion do not affect the price of bitcoin. People just see where the market is going and sell everything in panic, so most likely the market falls even more.

You don't have to worry about this. This market is very unpredictable so jumps with prices are totally normal here. The main thing do not panic.

Market have being unstable for the last several month, so this dump should not worry you. What is special? Why are your worried about it right now?

ETH is the victim and the only crook in this crime. It all started from the ICO mayhem and we still cannot deal with its consequences. It is so sad.

why you could be summed up like that? ethereum and altcoin all with integrated crypto market. and we cannot control the crypto or just a few people who control it. When the market crashed so all the coins will also experience in common. in fact this situation has impacted the ico, ico is not which makes the impact of the market become like this.

The very common reason is that the bitcoin price is going down so everyone wants to sell their altcoins and then sell bitcoin so that they can make loss less. In this process other altcoin are getting affected as they are all connected to bitcoin price so this is common.

I think the only reason why all the coins are falling down now is because bitcoin is falling. If he grew up, then altcoins would also grow. Bitcoin affects all cryptocurrencies. This is fact.

until now we all don't know what causes the market to go down until now. I just thought, if this was due to only rumors circulating, I don't think it would decrease so sharply, there must be certain problems, but we never knew

one of the reason why the market is down the panic sellers or some people tired of holding their cryptos that's why the market is down, hopefully in the next year will be a good start for the market to recover.

This is a common price speculation and this is done so that the big players can buy coins at cheap prices.

People dump
More people dump than more people buy

You can see the volume didn't really go up much even the price of the whole marketcap drops for almost 10-20%
We can know that the market interest is not that strong for now

maybe what happened to the condition of cryptocurrency nowadays there are so many traders who don't believe in cryptocurrency so they prefer to secure their assets.

I know you open this thread some time ago but it is good to know that since then bitcoin has really completely be on a downward trend.  I think it is far or could have been good if you sold then than were bitcoin is today.  It is heading toward $3000 and before the end of this weekend it might get to that level.  Continuing holding is not even advisable because of the ways it is going down.

The value decrease over 40% in past a month, it's quite massive but IMO it's the power of the demand on last year !
Let's compare on Nov 2017 where the demand getting significant until it's reach the highest peak and start dropping on early year 2018.
For what I can see , it will happen opposite on year 2019 !

For some newbies, I only bet 99% that they will not feel panic when the price decline is like what is happening. The cryptocurrency market is very cruel to someone who doesn't know it, so as they need a deep understanding of the crypto market characteristics. However, if they don't force them to look for years about market characteristics, I'm sure no matter how much capital they carry, they will find a loss.

maybe now that makes the price of this cryptocurrency fall because there is bad news that makes traders panic and has an influence on the price of cryptocurrency in exchange for falling like this.

The price of coins is cheap because many investors make panic sales, making market prices fall further. In order for the market to increase, there must be a very positive rumor so that these investors are interested in investing again. Our hope is that the market must recover soon.

I think the primary factor caused the fail of this cryptocurrency market the last six month of 2018 is the effect of the economy on global. Along with this, the depression of the investors because of the scam ICO still the reason for a long-term decrease of BTC. Now the price of BTC is lower than 85% compared to the last year 2017.

Some will say prices of Cryptocurrency is down because of manipulation while some will argue that there was no valuation in Cryptocurrency,  that every prices we seen was fake.  U think prices are down because people panic,  they gave up too soon and mount pressure on Cryptocurrency market!

The decline and rise in the crypto market has a number of factors other than rumors or good and bad issues circulating among investors, there are several factors that can affect crypto
1. volume and distribution of coins
2. supply and demand
3. fraud involving crypto
4. trading
maybe this is only part of the many causes of the crypto market being unstable, because the crypto market is difficult to predict.

panic selling as bitcoin price falls many traders panic and sell there coins and holdings fear of losing

It is obviously market manipulation,so don't pay attention to it.
Buy more crypto for fiat and increase your portfolio with good coins

Ethereum found the error so the market fell. But I don't have any idea why bitcoin fell so low. The situation of the market is not good, unfortunately. I hope it gets better

There is nothing wrong, all this is the game of market participants, so prices fall. Sometimes negative news often causes panic, lots of supply but little demand, this is a market law and nobody changes it.

   In newspapers you can read many theories about why prices are going down. Couple things are common
for all of them, nobody knows where money is going. People just speculating.
   We must stay firm, we must use this moment in our advantage. We can do that with increasing our portfolios.
It`s the same thing I`m thinking past few months, I even wrote once that I would like drop to last longer so I can
buy more coins. I don`t have money to buy as much as I wish, I need time to make some money for buying coins.
This drop is good, I bought some more Ethereums at $100, I will buy next month a bit more, but we will see at
what price.

We are near the bottom and these "fly downs" are just last shakeouts. Technically (in general) trends reverse after a big sell-off. We still need a big volume spike with a big red candle and just after a big green candle. Of course, higher highs and higher lows will follow it.

Market activities are simply the reason the market is going either side either good or bad for you When there are dumpers and whales manipulating the market and then others news like coin devs the world around us in business entirely affect the market

There are many factors for low prices. In this last month of the year, tax loss selling is an additional factor adding to downward pressure on coin prices. Hopefully January will start a positive year.

Bearish market in which composed of Inflation, Scams, Demonetization and other FUD's. These all are contributing to the down fall of the crypto market that if this will not be address by next year then i'm afraid many will leave Crypto currency investment in dismay and will shift to none crypto investments.

It's time for the market to collapse, it's no longer possible to increase, so many people give up and move on, so it's hard to see the high prices from the coins. half.

Most likely, the crypto currency is cyclical, now many people are disappointed in this market and left it, but after a while another wave of popularity and application of the crypto currency will begin. We'll be waiting for that.

If you talk about time then no one will know what happened after that. The market continues to decline, not necessarily continuing the next day, it could be that tonight or tomorrow morning the market returns recover without realizing it.

The decline in cryptocurrency prices is caused by panic selling, not by rumors. The main reason for panic comes from BCH forked coins and ICO fraud ETH sales!

more panic played because of this, many coins suffered, well, and the price of bitcoin also influenced

I think the price of the cryptocurrency in the exchange fell because of bad news and because the demand had begun to decrease, the latter made prices fall.

Mass media feeds us with fake information about the cryptocurrencies. There is a lot of negativity that is coming from TV and the Internet. People believe it, sell the crypto, and the prices fall.

The price of Bitcoin will decline as long as large investors need it. most likely the fall will last a few more months

The market continues to go down because large investors no longer want to invest in cryptocurrency. I think this situation will last for several months.

Large investors just want to invest in ISO. But for now, they are just waiting for the prices for cryptocurrency to fall to a very low level in order to make their investment.

I found it normal every time there is a price correction or a burst of a bubble. People these days are quite newbie about of this market, always hesitant to adjust and think about what they would do if they are in this situation. It's like lack of self-awareness that would suddenly just go dumb when every time the market has a price correction.

If you are an investor or a trader you should have known the risk already as you are gambling your investments in the market whether how you play it, it all depends on the market and all you have to do is to adjust on the current situation.

No one exactly knows what have actually happened. Some do think that this is just the correction year for what happened last year wherein the market prices have gone crazy increasing which is definitely unexpected, so maybe this is the way to somehow stabilize the prices. One thing is for sure, we should not be intimidated and be scared of such thing. Just be patient and nothing would go wrong.

What else could you expect after the price rose to such great heights? Of course only that it will gradually fall, it was necessary to understand initially that it will happen.

Every possible factor could be held responsible for the fall in the values of Bitcoin because none of them has been good enough to boost the market values. But let’s hope for the best time to come.

The reason of bearish market now are some fuds and some new regulations like ETF and so on. And no matter what is the reason many big traders and whales knows how to play the crypto market.  So we  need to be patience and hoping that all be alright again.

there are many factors that cause prices to fall like now.
of course it was because of rumors and many people were consumed by the rumors and made sales when they panicked.

And it seems like it continue to drop everyday, and i dont know what to do if the bitcoin would hit at the very bottom price, some said that it will go for 1500, and the others said, only above 3000, meanwhile my friend TOM, sold all his holdings of the fear.

Many people get caught up in negative news and make them panic and sell cheaply. But there is no need to be afraid of falling prices, because it becomes an opportunity to buy and will be a profit in the future.

cryptocurrency is depend on the speculations and whales. We saw a bad new and after that whale play the prices. Many investors saw the little fall of coins and after that investors sell own coins. This is very bad for all of us. We should be very careful nowadays.

That is what smart investors are going to do but many investors that lost a huge amount of money are selling their coins and are probably never going to go back, this is what it is causing the huge decrease in the price of all the market, there is not enough demand and the supply of coins in the market is simply too high since everyone seems to be determined to sell at this moment.

Manipulation is going on here. Prices are going down,it is obvious.
What happened? Market is down, that's what I am saying.
Nobody can explain the real reason,but I guess there is a combination of several reeasons

because in the crypto world there will definitely be a very high increase and will definitely experience a very low decline, because this can happen because of the users if I think

I don't want to spread FUD but the decline of cryptomarket has now become worse as more and more coins have hitting their lowest bottom for this year. This creates panic to the newbie investors as no assurance when this downfall will end. I just hope that somehow we can survive in this difficulty.

every week there is always a large nominal transfer of bitcoin between crypto wallets, this information is available on various twitter channels and telegram transparently.

FUD doesn't move too complicated now because what happens is speculators think it's better to secure their assets at the end of the year in the form of more stable coins. This decline will reach a saturation point but not in the near future.

it's because of the panic sellers they listen to the FUD like cryptocurrencies will going to an end, they are weak hands they should holding their cryptos.

I don't know what that has to do with. It's probably manipulation. But I understand that all cryptocurrencies fall after the main cryptocurrency - bitcoins. Their relationship with each other is very strong. Hopefully, when bitcoin starts to grow, altcoins will follow it up, too.

Rumors? there's really a force that drives the price into the place that we don't know. This makes the price lower, the market seem to be too high before and this gives the confidence that the consecutive year which is this year shall become low.

The demand for this year became low and people don't want to buy because of that. Too many sell orders that creates an attraction to many newbies to have their sell positions.

i think they all still continue decreasing until new year, even in early 2019 the price still same.
maybe market will recovery in q2 2019 but that just my prediction, no one really know about the future.

rumors and issues are the biggest contributors to why prices can drop dramatically, besides that a lot of large investors who are panicked sell and sell large amounts of coins is one of the causes. so I think that could be the main trigger why prices can go down

It is commonly happen to a decentralized market, prices moves easily and don't see where it goes. Crypto prices drastically dump as it meant to be happen and there is nothing to worried about cause it momentarily back into normal flow.

Probably due to the continuous market downfall which is a part of the natural volatility of the market. There are many possible reasons but no one knows what exactly happened this year. One thing is for sure, what happened this year is the total opposite of what happened last year which gives a huge problem to the investors due to their lack of profit at times like this.

maybe yes, because of some rumor new investor in crypto panic and sell their coin.
or is the true market condition, we dont really know.

Most speculate that the main reason why the market tanked in the past couple weeks/month is because of the hard fork that happened in bitcoin cash. This was a major event in the space and it really affected the whole market negatively. Prior to this happening, ethereum was also not doing so hot because ICO's were and still is dying. The reason why this has a direct correlation with Ethereum's price is because the majority of ICO's that were popular last year all claimed that they would be on the Ethereum chain, which is why the price last year was so strong. But alas, the ICO's were big on their promises and were not able to back up said promise. Coupled with this, the majority of bitcoin farming these days occurs in China, and the regulations surrounding cryptocurrency in China isn't exactly friendly. These are just some of the reasons why the prices keep going down. But not to worry, as there is still growth in the space. The crypto market is bigger then ever before and Ethereum's hard fork is also coming up which should shake things up a bit to say the least.

the price of the cryptocurrency fell because there might be bad news and maybe also the influence of the hashrate war that occurred a few weeks ago which caused the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrency to fall.

It was indeed a hash war that was able to reduce interest in bitcoin, and all crypto declined. The bad news is also present and influential, so for this we must be more patient and endure, hoping for a miracle that can improve market value.

This is caused by a number of large investors with large capital, making Bitcoin depressed. With the fall in the price of Bitcoin, it will affect Ethereum and all Altcoin will also decrease. So with this condition, there will be many people who sell coins with a sense of panic because they are afraid that they will lose more money.

As we can see, for the last period of three months, the movement in the course of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency really moved confidently only down! Therefore, there is nothing surprising in this, that people stop investing and storing their funds in the crypt!

The price flies down due to a lot of reason. And I think the primary reason is the domination of the ICO project about holding Ethereum. Recently, almost ICO project sell ETH. That makes the price of ETH always goes down and not any sign to recover. So that I think if the scam ICO project decrease, the situation of the cryptocurrency market will be improved.

What is happening is just that the markets are highly speculative. None of it is based on actual real world use yet, which means there's nothing substantial to back up each coin's value. Add to this the fact that the markets are in general very thin, and then also the problems with limited trading pairs for alts, and then the difficulty of moving between fiat and crypto - these together I think account in a large part for market movements.

This is what happens, many assumptions are outlined and we can study this situation but to improve, we must be smarter and smarter. Market manipulation occurs and we in big games that will make us strong or weak, coins that are able to hit the flow will have a slight increase.

What happens to crypto market is that there is a lot of bad news and a lot of drama is done as happened yesterday which made the price of bitcoin fall very deeply due to the hashrate battle.

most likely because most holders of Coin panic sell so that what happens and feels together is the lower price. As for what is happening with the crypto market, it is still experiencing the lowest price due to the end of the year and commemorating Christmas. I think that's why the price of digital currencies has decreased in price.

All time pessimism in the crypto market. The visitor investors have drawn out with losses and the habitants are still in the market and it is only the habitants who are going to be instrumental in bringing correction in the market.

now its surprising today what happened https://www.coingecko.com
