they saw how they are losing the market to a real currency (bitcoin) which people have been eyeing for sometime now and they are now afraid that they can lose considerable amount of revenue to bitcoin as more people start using it. so they want to use the crypto hype to their own advantage and save their business.

unfortunately bitcoin drop ended so there was no more altcoin dumping. that meant they got some opportunity to recover a little, but they are still in bubble.
what this means is that we will continue seeing their bubble linger for a longer time and the chances of big rise goes out of the window.

only if we are lucky!

and i am not talking about some profit making from that low price but i am talking about a healthier market which can only be achieved if ETH bubble bursts and it goes down to its real value instead of this bloated one that we currently have. i would even argue that $100 is a better price for it but i'll settle for $200.
if that doesn't happen then we will be stuck in this bubble and the threat of the catastrophic dump is always with us and we won't be able to see any proper rise.

i believe it is too soon to tell but from what we have we can see that there is a very nice upward momentum shaping up. if you look at the previous 10 days price you can see that we are constantly rising with small retracements which are small corrections which can point to a bigger upcoming rally.

there is never much thought about any of these forked coin projects since they are not even real projects. they are copy of code from one or two projects combined together so that they can release a coin and make money from it. that is all there is to it. everyone just claims them and dumps then they join the list of junk coins for pump and dumps!

that is the worst advice!
it is like a falling knife (which actually people compare altcoins to often) and you are telling people to open their hands and catch that falling knife.
the best advice is to sell when you see dumps like this. of course unless you WANT to lose money.

you must always set stop losses even when you are seeing a pump going on. because at any moment they can reverse it and dump on you instead so you have to be prepared. although you should be careful how you set the stop loss. too big and you will lose a lot, too small and you will end up selling every time there is a tiny change.

i disagree.
the trend is not just going to be reversed that easily. it will take time for a bear market to give its place to a bull market, specially the big ass bull market that you have in mind. right now we are still testing the bottoms for their strength and then we are also seeing an accumulation phase where price will stay here more or less with some possible small dumps to trap the bears then (maybe in 1-2 months after that) we can see the big rises start.

not really. a lot of tokens are only being created so that they can be dumped immediately after distribution and to die right afterwards. which means they are released the dump happens, price continues going down and it goes lower than the ICO sale price and continues downward until it is dead.

this means that you must stay away from all bots because your problem is not with not-having a bot. your problem is that you are not good at trading and if you start using a bot you will just confuse yourself even more and you may even lose a lot more money since you still don't know what you are doing.

first you should learn how to trade and be successful in it for a while then think about bots.

i haven't checked it out completely but from my initial glance and seeing them all i see is hot air instead of anything proper. and they just call it "AI" where in reality it is the same script as any other bot uses. there is no Intelligence!

the "media" is saying  a lot of things. they are even saying "bitcoin is a ponzi scheme". if we start paying attention to the "media" which is basically a click-bait fiasco you should one day buy bitcoin with extreme enthusiasm because they told you it is the best and the next day you should dump it because they told you it is bad!

anybody with money can advertise their coin in the media like ETH does! that's not really hard.

if a "full blown crisis" happens and the "grid" goes down then you are in a deeper shit that you can't even begin to imagine and bitcoin, gold, money(fiat), all your possessions like house, car,... are all the last  things you would want to own.

in other words that "genius" /s made the most obvious statement of all times.

ETH is not even a currency let alone be a mainstream one! why do you insist on sticking it hard to bitcoin pretending they are on the same level? bitcoin is so ahead that if you look back you can't even see shitcoins like ethereum!

what will be king? bitcoin until someone creates a much better cryptocurrency that has all the bitcoin attributes such as high security, decentralization, super high speed transactions with LN,... and that day is not going to come for at least 50 years.

it is true that bitcoin is nothing like other markets and it is volatile but none of the things you said here means "bottoms",... are not true. the thing is you shouldn't be expecting that much out of TA in first place and this is not bitcoin related. if you lower your expectation to realistic levels then you can see how correct they are.

WRONG. what we saw was not effects of someone selling x amount of bitcoin. what we saw was the effects of the FUD scaring newbies into thinking someone is dumping bitcoin.
in reality MtGox was not even selling his coins on the market. google his statements and see for yourself...

manipulation exists but it is not even close to the big illusion that you have made it to be like.

what does the bold part mean?!!
and this statement is misleading if not wrong. bitcoin IS unhackable period. 9 years of secure bitcoin after millions of hackers trying to hack it is  the proof of that.
all the things you read has nothing to do with wallets nor whatever that bold part means. the reasons for all of them is one thing: human error.
for example when you don't use cold storage and instead store your bitcoin on your desktop and then download some malware you can't say it was a "breach in my wallet". the reason was you not being careful.

from what i have seen so far from Indian, they understand the power of decentralization and bitcoin. that is why they have been so involved with it and have been accumulating it so far. we may end up seeing a large percentage of bitcoin supply belong to them at some point in the future if we don't catch up.

also lets not forget that bitcoin or trading of it is perfectly legal in India so there is nothing even slowing them down from buying bitcoin.

they are not exactly creating these altcoins directly and there are no rule violations even if they did. what they do is that they back them up, usually by backing up a company that is registered but mainly is creating that altcoin so by backing that company they feed it money and that money is used to pump and dump that altcoin and the profit goes in the pocket of the bank.

there are manipulations in bitcoin market just like any other market but to say it is "banks" because they want to buy in, doesn't sound right to me specially because this "dip" may seem new to you that haven't seen anything else before but it is not new to bitcoin which had A LOT of dips exactly like this one in the past.

plus if banks wanted to make profit then they would have created altcoins just like many of them that did: ETH, XRP are two good examples of altcoins created by the banking cartel. and you can see they are making a lot of money from pump and dumping them.

wow this got filled pretty quickly! lets roll the dice on this one and see what happens....
