I want know the exact reason for that

In fact, there is no specific reason for the question "Why is Bitcoin lowering or rising?" Those who directly participate in the deal are those who decide the price of bitcoin up or down.

No one can accurately answer your question, Bitcoin also relies on other factors, news sources, budgets poured in and out.

As we all know that bitcoin is a volatile crypto currency and apart from this, it is a kind of investment so both these factors plays a very crucial role in determining the valuation of bitcoin as these are the two reason for the flactuation in the valuation of bitcoin and moreover there is no such proper authentic regulating body over bitcoin and therefore it is usually use for many illegal activities and I think this could be the most probable reason for the bearish of bitcoin.

I would say it's because the powers that be (governments and bankers) want cheap Bitcoin to fill their coffers before the run begins and they start rolling it out to the masses.  This is the big shake out. 

No one knows the reason for the decline in price of Bitcoin. Maybe it is due to whales manipulating the market but can't be said for sure.

Yes, no one knows why exactly falls bitcoin, because there is no one reason, just so wanted by major players

I don't think it's bearish really. It has dips here and there but then it also picks up. If you look at the entire history of Bitcoin you'll see periods of major dips followed by major rises.

Big players unloading their stash of coins will always crash the market.  Combine that with the FUD generated by all the negativity; and the whipped up anti-Bitcoin sentiment, all of it serves to unnerve the small player.  When the masses unload, the canny big players who had missed out on the earlier upturn eagerly grab the spoils, and reap the harvest when the next inevitable upturn occurs.

Actually, there have no exact reason behind bearish of BTC. But I think that's a big reason, the government is still not interested in giving it a complete legitimacy. That is why people have an adverse attitude towards bitcoin.

It's possible that the whales are manipulating the market for speculation, or maybe the belief in people's bitcoins has decreased and perhaps for various reasons has affected bitcoin prices.

Bearish was affected by economic growth which slowed even down from the previous year. No one knew the incident. Maybe because of the trend and supply and demand of bitcoin. Or maybe because the whales manipulates the market. Nobody knows that!

How about this theory? soon can take etf, and under this news knowledgeable people (whales), specially dump the price that would be purchased at the bottom, as after the adoption of such prices as today we will not see for sure!

The reason for any activities in the bitcoin market price is channel to only one direction which is the demand and supply forces which is what control the bitcoin market. Any other reason still fall in this.

There are many parameters indeed. However if we try to simplify things we can think of it as a cycle. Yes BTC is bearish lately. However, it'll be bullish again. We just don't know the time.

You just nailed the point. Unfortunately, the weak hands will fall into the trap. As bitcoin is falling, this is the time to buy. You don't need to be in the bull market to do that

now a very bad news background! you need to wait for September! in America, as well as in India will be a meeting on bitcoin and the entire crypto market! it will be legalized in these countries, as well as will prescribe regulatory laws! you need a little wait, and soon the market will turn green!

This is a collective psychology effect.
Bitcoin is look exactly as other financial bubbles in the past.

I always have believed that BTC follows the same rules as other bubbles and in the last months i have been wondering that there was no " despair" phase in the markets , look at the market now, everything is crashing for real not just correcting, i believe that we are finally in phase of " despair"

The answer in the statistics of bitcoins of purses: the number of active purses increased from approximately 0.6 - 2.6 million in 2013 to 5.8-11.5 million in 2017.
And just over ten million people around the world are beatcoins.
This suggests that bitcoin is still very weak to talk about its independence, from control by anyone. If you consider that almost a third of all bitcoin is in China's whalers - do you think it's easy for them to control the bitcoin rate?
The reason is obvious - you need a lot more people who are interested in bitcoin, and will keep it.
And then control over bitcoin will be impossible.

See all referent reasons on here, wonder which is the most accurate!!

All markets are determined by demand. If the Bitcoin falls, then there must be less demand for purchases. The most direct feeling in recent months is that new investors have dropped a lot. I think the downward trend will continue for a long time.

Probably the bitcoin ETF that failed recently or Goldman Sachs trying to FUD the market to buy cheap bitcoin from weak hands. There are many other reason for this and for me, I believe its market manipulation.

looks like some peoples want to manipulates the price in the market before bull run start.
more with the delay of etf, the btc price dropping more in few days. Some possibilities can be happened.
The important thing is, we don't get manipulated by them.

Crashing permanently can be happen if this situation continues but no one can say that for certain because we see both negative and positive sides so only the time will decides what will be the path that Bitcoin will select and no matter what that is there will be a significant effect in the crypto currency market and the community     

It is not known why this is happening, but according to the logic after such a bullish mood bears should come

Cryptocurrency market is new but just like any other market like stock or forex, there's a cycle we called them bull and bear. Also I remember that a friend mine told me that the stock market is also in bear.

Anyway there's a news that the SEC delayed the decision about bitcoin ETF. As expected there's a dump of bitcoin thus the price was falling and the altcoin prices were affected the most.

It is difficult to say the exact reason, but one of the most important is the transfer of the solution to Bitcoin ETF. Also, the lack of regulation prevents bulls from launching an offensive.

There are a lot of reasons behind the rise or fall of bitcoin prices. There is no way to pinpoint which but we always look at supply and demand as primary. The other reasons are fud amd price manipulation.

Not only a single reason of droping bitcoin value, there is some reasons which we think that may be cause of bitcoin dump.
1. News about bitcoin ban by some countries
2. Facebook & Google announces ban crypto Ad on their platform, but it was just news they didn’t ban crypto Ad
3. After a sudden rise in bitcoin price, correction was necessary

That will be a very interesting and unexpected reason, but to me, it wants to attract buyers

Many factors that affect bearish Bitcoin occur, and no one knows when that will happen which is certain that Bitcoin bearish  is affected by economic growth which even slowed from the previous year. No one knows the incident. Maybe because of the trends and demands of bitcoin. Or maybe because the whale manipulates the market.

no reason! there is only one and very big reason! that now the ground for take-off is being cleared, and a lot of big investors decided to enter bitcoin at a low price! it was lowered, but soon it will grow up!

Well I'll like to disagree with this. You see the price of a currency can't just go up and down because of the weather condition or because of the season. They has to be a reasonable explanation as to why and most specifically what causes the rise and fall of bitcoin. Well I'll say it's not one reason obviously but they are a bunch of reasons as to why the price of Bitcoin fluctuates from time to time.

The decline in Bitcoin is certainly made up of many factors, but one of the most important reasons is that the market does have new capital to buy, that is, no new investors have entered the market.

The price of any crypto currency is growing when its capitalization increases. Bitcoin exists longer than the rest and despite its shortcomings it is chosen by most investors.

except for us small investors, there are very serious players with huge capitals! it's these players who carry the whole mood over the crypt world! for them to lower or raise the crypto market does not cost anything at all! with their fortune, they reduce the price in a special way so that they can buy it right now, and then sell it well!

In my opinion, due to the influence of some countries they are trying to prevent their citizens from accessing electronic money, many have since abandoned the market and withdrawn capital.

a lot of very serious players are very much manipulating the crypto market! if you look at what happened before the growth of the crypto currency, it was this: all people began to forget the crypto market and began to think that bitcoin had died! but after everyone sells their bitcoins at a low price, there will be growth!

It's always been hard to tell the reason behind movements but we can always assume that the bigger players are trying to gobble up as much cheap BTC as they can.

Then there's also the issue with the Thai scam that fleeced that Finnish guy. Probably causing some people to be a bit more conservative.

I think a lot of people have unrelistic expectations, people need to have more patience. You don‘t rich over night, most don‘t even get rich during one bull run. There is a good prediction about the next bull run in the altcoins/speculation section which makes a lot sense, bear markets just take a bit longer than people like.

the general reason for the bearish bitcoin price is the greater number of bitcoin sales than the amount of the purchase, but for this time, the price decline seems to be affected by the delay in ETF implementation

The reason for the bearish of BTC is the absence of favorable news. New money does not enter the market. Many people are tired of this situation and they leave the market.

You can get rich in a bear market as well if your willing to take short positions with leverage.  Smart traders will make my money no matter what, they don't care which way the market goes.

In my opinion, the reason bitcoin decrease in recent years is due to the political situation in the world is more volatile. The biggest negative impact was the escalation of tensions between the two major powers, the United States and China, which led to the economies of many major economies. Corruption in exchange and trading creates great volatility in the stock market and the electronic money market.

There is no specific reason for that question and no one can accurately answer your question but  bitcoin is a volatile cryptocurrency maybe it's because of  whales manipulating or to the big players unloading their stash of coins will always crash the market.

There are lots of factor that affecting or causing drop in cryptocurrencies price.  One of this are due to investors panicking. Manipulation market corrections and FUD all play a part in this and this article will go over a few reasons why I think the markets have further to fall before the trend reverses.

I think bitcoin price reduction is due to ban from facebook and google. This is sad.

Who told you that bitcoin is in bearish?don't you have access in market prices?look at this

https://coinmarketcap.com/watchlist/

So you could find rhat bitcoin is in domination now and altcoins is the most affected than this top one coin

Somtimes of you don't have something good to say,better shut up your mouth

Being that the Bitcoin is now being used as an investment avenue other than a payment system which it was initially created for, you can only expect various forces will come into the scene which will cause fluctuation in its value just like stocks like Oil, Gold, etc. there are many players in the cryptocurrency sphere who are constantly manipulating the crypto market in their favour. The price fall and rise actually favor the big players more than us small players so they have little or nothing to worry about. Moreso, the Bitcoin, and cryptocurrencies at large do not have a regulatory body so its all up in the air. I do hope that some form of regulation comes which will make cryptocurrencies more predictable like Oil, Gold, etc.

Is more about the trade volume. If you are checking the price,check the trade volume also, it a big factor for the slump. If you can understand why people dont purchase bitcoin as before then u can have the idea for the slump. It has declined massively.  The good news should improve confidence in the traders but the other way. Not everything is caused by the ETF postponement.

absence of good news. New money does not enter the market. Many people are bored with this situation and they leave the market. Most of them are looking for safe assets.

Well bitcoin is in bearish now but its more on alternative coins since bitcoin dominance grows hugely with more than 50% and altcoins are continuously dropping and some are almost dead so i agreed on your point but not the totality..maybe the coming ETF will answer all this concern as we are getting closer the end of month in which this will happening

Many sells their bitcoin and that makes the demand lower but there's no appropriate reason for the bearish.
We can say that this is the opposite reaction for the bullish market that we've been last December.
But we don't know on how long it will stay.

It's mostly due to the people dumping when they think the prices is going to go down and lose all their initial investment. It's like more people sell means there is more of it and less demand and vice versa. Most coins go through these stages so don't worry.

Due to some but considerable negative effects happened in last period such as , Government restrictions against Bitcoin, Banning, Criminal activities using Bitcoin, Panic token holders and other false rumors that made ridicules accusations against Bitcoin 

All markets can be determined by demand. If Bitcoin falls then there must be fewer requests for purchases. In recent months, new investors have dropped a lot. I think this downward trend will continue for a long time. We hope for a miracle for the crypto market. 8)

ETF was a small reason. Usually bitcoin falls on hack news.
When an exchange gets hacked hackers dump asap and this makes a bearish move for weeks.
I remember the first MTgox news and Last korean exchange hack news all were same.

Bitcoin was very quick and sharp. I believe it was a pricing manipulated by large players to make a profit, a consequence of investments when the price was much lower. Now, after such a high, an achievement for price adjustment is normal. Who bought high, have to be patient and wait  :-\

lack of demand and this lack of demand should be because governments and banks are creating many barriers and many hard regulations

well the situation is still not very favorable for bitcoin

The dips happen today isn't new anymore, it will normally fluctuates as we aren't take control of the market trend. 
A lot of factors helping to behave like that and it looks like it is hardly to know what is really affecting it which cause a huge market decline.

The news is one of the reasons why bitcoin drops this is just what I noticed on the market.
The news has a big influence on the market where can affect the movement price of bitcoin if there is bad news publish.
Also, there are many whales on the market that is why the price drops a lot in a few days but after they feel that the bitcoin reach the lowest price they starting to buy back again to hold and to play the bitcoin price.
So, it is not new to us if we know that bitcoin is too volatile.

The last dip in bitcoin price most likely was due to the activities of whales capitalizing on the postponement of the bitcoin ETF

In my own opinion, the reason why the market price is in a huge dip is due to a lot of people who are selling their coins because of negative news and bias medias who wants to decrease the cryptocurrency growth.

market was likely manipulated by whales

There are many reason's when bearish trend of btc panic sell or no adoptions continues. Once more adoptions and demands obviously price could increase. Well hopefully there is good news happen that marker can enter into bullish trend.

People who posses Bitcoin are leaving Bitcoin thinking Bitcoin will drop further and loose there money and that is happening not just for Bitcoin but for other currencies too and I think that is the main reason for the huge drop and false information play a big role in these situations too to decrease the prices and to get holder panic   

Crashing Bitcoin is temporary and it occurred due to public concern that if Bitcoin continues in the future it will led to a financial crisis in the world by destroying the current banking system and other essential financial or economical organizations so countries like United states of America and other major countries like India made huge impact on bitcoin and even went further to limit the user's in bitcoin locally so Bitcoin crashed   

We are the reason behind the price fall and rise,if more people selling their cryptos than the people buying it then it will be called bearing because the demand will slightly continues to fall and when people changes their mind the prices will starts to increase and there are lot of factors influencing the people to buy and sell their coins.

Yes you are right, the market price will always change depending on the supply and demand in the market and that is the reason why you should be always be patient towards the market.

It happens because most of investors trying to move from Bitcoin and also from the crypto industry because they are afraid that Bitcoin will no longer exist in the future considering these price decreases and political pressure through Bitcoin ban, restrictions and regulations against the use of Bitcoin and also some are moving to alternative coins thinking that they can get better profits than investing in Bitcoin.   

As any process in life there is a rise and fall.  Everywhere their reasons.  To be honest, I do not understand what happened to bitcoin after such a take-off.

I don't know the main reason but I think its because the sellers are taking over the market. There is no buying power in it and that is the reason why Bitcoin remains bearish at this moment. This is just my opinion but I don't know any reason but I think BitMex is also affecting the price of bitcoin.

maybe it could happen when there is good news that can trigger investors to buy bitcoin and buy other cryptocurrency if there is still no good news that could trigger a price increase then bearish will be difficult to happen.

There is no one exact reason for that this was happen due to many like political pressure to Bitcoin, lack of business adaptation in Bitcoin as a currency, Panic selling among new and inexperienced investors or traders, less trust about crypto market among investors and mainly due to the market manipulation was done by large scale investors who are trying to buy Bitcoin for less price by making holders deceive into thinking Bitcoin will crash. I might be wrong in some points but I think most of them played a significant role bearish of Bitcoin

People who are afraid of cryptocurrency are just people who did not want to take risk but it was very obvious that bitcoins is really good for long term investment due to the demand in the market.

It took off so it has to land off as well.

No particular and definite reason why we are still in the bearish market. But if you will analyze and compare things today and from last year, we're still at good hand. Today seems to be a good day and bitcoin isn't moving far from $6,700 if it will stay there for few more days I think we can expect something better.

Well bitcoin didn't have this much attention before it made the run towards the end of 2017. So fuds aren't really taken with much weight. When many people got in, the market obviously grew but with a lot of weak hands. I think that's one other thing we can look at that causes this continuing decline.

Bitcoin crashing is a major scenario that has scared even top crypto currency investors and countries like USA, India keep fueling the situation ignoring the bad effect on investors and the beneficial side of Bitcoin and for the positive side significant businesses in various areas trying to implement Bitcoin with there core business processes because tech experts know digital currency is something extraordinary when compared to fiat paper currencies so doesn't matter what the world thinks now the future will definitely welcome Bitcoin with open hand     

If you are currently observing the price of bitcoin, then you will be amazed by the rapid fluctuations of bitcoin, dude. I also stressed, that the price of a bitcoin does not depend on a company, because bitcoin is interoperable. Before you ask this, you should read some articles that discuss what you are asking right now.

I have not made such a judgment. On the contrary, I think Bitcoin should be bullish, because when the altcoin is in a downturn, Bitcoin will always rise slowly, which is caused by people's dump!

Bearish of BTC happened due to many economical and political effects happened against it so the demand that Bitcoin had in the past has decreased for some extend but it is gaining slowly little by little but to recover fully it might take more time than we anticipated because the drop was much bigger in the past and for this day many people ha left the BTC market and some even left the entire crypto market by selling there assets and even Bitcoin is attracting new comers it might take some time to get normal

You don't know, i don't know and experts also don't know the exact reason. People are looking for causes but there is no unified cause. Hold it and don't need to know the cause.

Although we are facing such problems for a long long time where bitcoin managed to survive and I am hopeful that it will even survive in more critical condition, but in current time I think that the reason for the decrease of bitcoin price is because of some bad news that are wondering in the market.

The desire to suppress the price by the Billionaires or the Cartel or Mafia call them whatever you like.
Sp=o they can accumulate it by cheap prices

It look likes that my view and perhaps the view of everyone in this forum will have the same expectation of 'good information who comes to cryptocurrency' only that will cause the cryptocurrency to have a bullish market. January was the beginning of the cryptocurrency market with a bearish trend, various governments and other negative information that came to cryptocurrency, causing a drastic decline. Apparently, there are still many opportunities for cryptocurrency to rise in price and there are still many opportunities for cryptocurrency to experience price reductions, a technology will always be tested.

I am a firm believer that the reason why bitcoin hasn't gone up in price for the past 9 months is the whales making a great return from the short futures. That is my idea and I can not know for sure if it is true or not and I keep checking the short prices and how much it has been invested and sometimes when bitcoin is going down the number of short futures sold increases but honestly sometimes it doesn't budge so I keep saying there is a correlation but maybe not as much as I believe.

We do not have a proof of a reason for sure and we can never know 100% the exact reason but I believe people are making money while keeping bitcoin low which could be the biggest reasoning for not going up.

MArket manipulation and price suppression, this can be longer than expected. all this happen so rich people can accumulate cheaper bitcoin.

The reason should be obvious after a bull market a bear market appears that is just the way it is, the market can move in three ways, it can move close to a price, it can go up significantly like in a bull market or it can go down significantly like in a bear market, most of the time markets do not move as much but then out of nowhere a bull market will appear but since its impossible for the price to go up forever then a bear market appears.

I think the occurrence of this bearishness might be because of the popes who are manipulating prices to seek profit by deceiving new investors who are now coming, so they are panicked and confused about the market price situation like this.
But that is only my estimate that clearly still does not know the truth of this bearish market because of what it is like

Things may have not work for bitcoin this year yet. There are factors that we should consider why this happens regularly as we also know that bitcoin is really a volatile asset. If you will just look in the future and hold your bitcoin for a year or more, then this bearish trend will not bother you.

Yeah you are 100% right, those are only big investors that manipulate the market and set the price according to their well and the management can do nothing against this. Whales are eating and sucking small investors and that’s why investment cap in bitcoin became low and so is the price. With constant price people would be not interested in such a risky investment.

These all can be the reason of decline in price but the major issue is of the demand rate and not all these things really matters. Bearish trend will soon shift into bullish only if the market demand rate of participants increases. Moreover they should leave unnecessary decisions of selling in low market which results the price to go down again and not letting it for improvement.

You might get few reasons for that because just one fact cannot make a huge impact on a major cryptocurrency like bitcoin to crash in this rate but if collection of issues can make that to happen and i think that is what was happen and among them market fear made a huge impact because what ever the reason bitcoin was rejected from the out side world it prices crashed due to its holders and users and because of fear they are abandoning the market and that is why market price is going down

In summary, no one knows. As far as I am concerned, a lot of reasons could have caused the downtrend, but I am pretty sure a lot of it was totally as a result of manipulation of the price upward.

Nothing was meant to drive demand the way it did last year, no serious news to have caused such huge adoption, new people just simply started FOMOing because of all the media wanted them to know about how people are getting rich and in that case, they wanted to get rich fast as well. Unfortunately, panic set in when the whales started their course downward for a lot of the weak hands. Every other explanation is just people trying to find a reason but in reality this was bound to happen.

There is a price fall in BTC but I don't think that is something any trader should worry about because we saw how bitcoin felt even low during last couple years but it got its price back and after that even most thought the price will rise to the last peak level withing few years we see bitcoin takes too much time than we thought but with its current progress in the business and financial sectors I hope it will gain the speed back and increase its price

Bitcoin market price is bearish due to media, governments and other financial reasons that we have today and among them government restrictions and media news are main reasons why bitcoin cannot grow as it want in the world to its full potentials and those two are the main reasons why its price is not increasing like we anticipated after its drop because governments use media to promote bad information to stop bitcoin from using it in the future and that has become a major reason for bitcoin price to drop

There are number of reasons. Media, investors, demand circulation of bitcoin are few reasons which cause the crypto value go up and down. Instead of worrying on bearish market, utilize the situation in buying more crypto currencies and hold the all in the wallets. We would seriously regret next year when all coins' values are going to be so high . So lets have patience to gain more profits.

This is what in my mind, because there is no major news about bitcoin and yet the price continues to drop. Whales are really trying to manipulate the market so they can buy more when people are already panicking. This will not last longer since whales still need to hype this market again so they can make money.

Political effects? I really do not see much of a political effect dropping the prices badly and whatever you must have heard in the news, even though could have added a little bit to the downtrend as a catalyst, the downtrend was just something that was inevitable from last year's bull run.
First, before you tend to see a bull run, it is best to ask yourself what instigated it in the first place. In this case, i would say greed did and for that reason, we are where we are now. As simple as that. Many people do not understand how steady growth can sometimes make more sense than just some crazy spikes.

the main reason for bearish BTC is the main reason is ETF news they are more than 30 ETF approvals pending these uncertain news created lot of panic in market so crypto market fallen down
