Why is the ICO price always different when entering the exchange market? whereas when the ICO price before entering the exchange was very promising. What exactly happened?

There are many reasons of dropping in price after listing some of them are
1. Bounty hunters dump their coin
2. High bonus on Presale phase
3. At the time of listing there is no such development of project which was told.
4. High ICO Price

the ICO price does not normally translate to the exchange value. the exchange value of the coin is normally affected by the perception of the public on the value of the coin. It can steeply rise or fall depending on the community who patronizes the coin and the project.

The ICO price is not the real value of the token it can be worth more or less depending on the demand. Traders can set their own price and when a token gets listed there are can be times where there are more sell orders getting filled than buy orders. Tokens are also affected by the price of BTC and ETH since these are the most added trading pairs when an alt gets listed in an exchange.  

ICOs are like buying a set of coins from a manufacturer that costs $X and reselling the coins lower or higher than the original price until you meet the buiyer's demand.

In my opinion, this is the gretest factor which could affect the price of a particular ICO righ after listed on an exchange. Usually, the majority of bounty campaign participants never wanted to hold their coin for a long time because of FOMO that's why they choose to dump as soon as possible. Well, I can't blame them at all since I also have the same mindset.
On the contrary, low sales before the official start of the coin despite of having a crowdsale is another factor too. Imagine, what outcome do you expect if there are only few holders of that coin? Low price as well since there are only few circulating in the market.

the price of the ICO is the highest price that would probably achieve by a token. If you buy a token in the ICO, then you will get a bonus. and the price of this you can make the ICO a target to sell tokens that you have.

It is true that the ICO price is lower, and when the token is sold it is profitable. But it doesn't happen because of several factors, for example;
1. when selling lots of bonus tokens from 10% to 40%
2. Bounty hunters after getting instant prizes panic selling.
3. Developers are less responsive to the incidence of panic selling.
4. Segwit issues and various other negative issues.

the current price is usually high enough indeed ICO. but it also brings a lot of bonuses. that's why many investors who are interested in purchasing the coin when the ICO. and the price of ICO is often I set as a target to sell tokens.

Because the ICO price is setted off by the project team, and exchange price is decided by the market, when the coin first listed on exchange, many traders will make buy orders at lowest price,  noob airdop and bounty hunters will sell at this price and make the coin dump lower than ICO price.

This is exactly why the Speed Shopper ICO will have no bounties or airdrops.  How can you assess value to something that you are giving away in large quantities?

From my research An ICO means Initial Coin offering. The development team for the coin distributes the coin initially by selling them. The ICO price is the amount that was charged for 1 coin during the ICO. Once it begins trading, the price can fall to zero.

It's from google, it's not from your own research. And why did you need to explain about ICO? Does someone ask you to explain it on here?
This is about why ICO price isn't same when the token entered market, who knows OP? you need to ask market

Dumpers is one of the main popular problem for any ICO ,and secondly if the project only sees small investors which is bad too ,its just like mining a coin too ,when the coin is new then demand will be low and when difficulty start skyrocketing the price will go up and you won't even be able to get as many coins as before

The ICO price will depend on how much will the company sell the tokens. It has a fixed price depends on the stage of ICO, mostly it is cheaper during Pre-ICO stage. After the ICO stage ends, the price of tokens will depend its price to the buyers and sellers. If the project is stagnant and no progress, a price dump is expected and if the project is still kicking and marketing team is doing a great job, expect a price pump. Even many people will dump their tokens as long as there is enough demand, price will not dump.

      That's the initial price of the ICO but because of the price of cryptocurrencies were declining , then the initial price were also affected and considering also most of the bounty hunters dumping their tokens , which causes abundant supply of the market .

When ICO project is very promising and there is a lots of positive feedback on how well the idea behind an ICO is received couple with lots of enthusiasm with positive expectations and all of a sudden, the project hit the exchange and plummet. The moral are down and many questions asked. I think we should allow good idea to grow, how are we going to know if an idea is good if it's not tested in the market!

I think the prize hunter is not very influential, the price of ICO falls because they are still in the development of their ICO projects, their products or services are still relatively new, someone who buys when the presale cannot get rich immediately when the ICO ends, they must follow the development of the ICO company, if the ICO company it works and has a customer, the price will rise.
the most important is the concept of the company, look for ICOs that have the concept of innovation that is a problem of society

After entering the crypto exchange, bounty hunters massively begin to sell tokens. Investors and those who believe in the project, can buy cheap tokens cheaply. It's like another round of ICO.

Next, you need to wait for the launch of the project, so that the token will rise in price

It can go either way as well, prior to entering the price is pegged at certain amount, but some went to exceed their ICO price once its listed on a certain exchange. But I suspect the price dip upon listing due to the following:

[1] Investors usually got the tokens first after a ICO end, so I suspect they dump their tokens to get their ROI
[2] two weeks or month later, bounty hunters got theirs, resulting in massive drop again, avalanche of dumping resulting in another dramatic fall
[3] Sooner or later those projects needs to dump to cover their operating cost (but I suspect that they dump what they got, usually ETH, but their might be cases that they dump their tokens as well).

So its going to be a dilemma for bounty hunters, to hold or not to hold.

For me the price changes when listed on exchanges because of the unfavorable situations in the crypto market today

The vulnerability of hodlers both investors and bounty or Airdrop hunters
Or worse still the activities of pump and dump group

the price of the token when the ICO period is just a benchmark so that investors are more interested, but when entering the market no one can set prices according to the price of ico time, why can it be like that? for example it's small like this, if you invest in an ICO project you will be more interested in the price of the coin which is very tempting, investors will feel uneasy if they don't know the initial coin price, even though there are some ico projects that tell the price of coins that don't make sense when entering exchange

It happens because the project is not attractive to many investors when it hit the market, but if the ICO reached it's hardcap there's a big possibility that the price is much higher than the ICO price because people will hold their shares because the project has a huge potential for profit in the future.

Actually their are few ICO being developed in a blockchain who have accomplished the 100% of its rate during Pre ICO up to the end and this are in a private sale platforms. While, others who have different platform in Pre sale which it depends on the customers choice it comes to point of having low value to market afterward. Which most of them unable to reach softcap or hardcap.

In the ICO game, the ones making the biggest profit are those who are able to get those elusive presale bonuses. Presale bonus can range from 5% to 75% depending on the integrity of the team of the project. So you ask what does that have to do with anything? Well if I buy a token for 50 cents and you paid 1 dollar, I can now sell my tokens for $1 and double my money while you break even. This is why you see those large dumps on day 1-2, whales will invest hundreds of thousands in pre-sale collect the bonus and sell it all even below ICO price as soon as possible.

I think it is very wrong to always accused bounty hunters of being the one dumping token. I have participated in many campaigns that postpone   payments of Bounty tokens and yet it got dumped.

Real dumpers are those whole enjoyed huge discounts during private sale and presale. Some of them do get up to 100% discounts, so dumping it at crowdsale price or below crowdsale price doesn't really affect them.

The price of new tokens during the ICO is determined by the ICO teams themselves and is sometimes very high. In addition, now is a very bad time for both ICO and listing of tokens on the stock exchange. Now almost all new tokens, which first fall on the stock exchange, are falling in price.

People dump the price so that they can get more of it and can make more profit out of it. Those investors who have gotten the token at its early ICO phase at a very meager price with bonuses dump their tokens to create FUD and drive the price lower. They are not at a loss anyway, 'coz somehow they have even a little profit at their initial trade. Then they'll buy back when the price goes down, which do not take long. Sometimes, it's also the admins, the airdroppers and the hunters who have gotten their tokens for 'free' for their job who dump. Well, we have no control over them since it's their discretion to sell at their desired price.

We can't always hoping that the price of a coin during ICO phase and when it hit the market to be the same, there are many kinds of reason that decide the price of any coins when it hit the market, so we have to wait for the price to get back to the same as the ICO price or even higher, depends on the project itself.

Bounty hunters have a very small percentage, the token-ico.  When they are listed on the encryption exchange, hunters cannot have a significant impact on the price of the marker.  Not everyone who received an award for an award immediately sells them.  Many who choose, HOLD.

Because of the time when they deployed ICOs, they often fixed their ETHs and tokens (or other similar currency), and came with a bonus. So when ETH prices change and their tokens are listed on the exchange, prices will change

there are many factors that can influence ICO coin prices during market listings. all depends on the developer because of that the developer still has the duty to still provide benefits to investors. because if the developer doesn't keep the promise they say then their good name will be bad

THere are some who fall immediately and some who rise more than the ICO price.
It will depend on what people will give on demand on the PROJECT once listed.
Some reason is the BOUNTY And AIRDROP token who dumped after listed!

The buy support on the market will have determined the real price of ico. as far as i know that the ico needs a lot of hype to make a lot of speculators are wanna putting their money to create a lot of buy orders to support the market. that's the main point that affect the ico price.
