It's gone from £308 to £280. It looks as if it might be a good time to buy.

It was a logical move to go down, after so much time we should be happy it stayed so high for along. In a way i expected it go down much earlier.

I heard some speculation about Bitcoin going up for Christmas. That might have made people buy a lot, then it did not go so much up, and people decided to cash in after Christmas.

But who knows really...

It's gone from £308 to £280. It looks as if it might be a good time to buy.

First because the presents can be made even during or even immediately after Christmas. So continue the trend. Second because might be made some speculation knowing that in this time of the year can be fluctuations of the value of bitcoin because of the celebrations. And third (maybe this can be the most important one) the celebration were not finished yet. In most countries (first of all the Muslim ones but not only in those) the last day of the current year is celebrated more than Christmas. Much more. In those countries the presents are made the last days of the year. So can be again time to see how will go the price of bitcoin.

I appreciate that there are fluctuations in value, but the Christmas drop seemed to coincide with some strange behaviour in the Dollar/Sterling rate. This made me wonder if there was a news item that I had missed.

well i can think of just one reason that might affected the price to go down like that, i believe that people started selling their bitcoins because of the fact that they needed some money to spend for christmas presents after a month or so it will rise significantly in my opinion

People getting impatient could be the main reason.
Perhaps some big time investors needed some cash to pay some big debt.
There could be so many reasons...

Don't be. It is just a natural market reaction. You will see the market calming down tomorrow and from there a new potential pump will come.

This decline could occur because some traders were stopped conduct trading activities. bitcoin volume activity will increase after the long holiday ended. most choose a vacation.  Grin

because 400-500 range still need consolidation to be rock solid, it was reached too damn fast, it's always like that wehn you touch another mark

high chance that it fall, but it's quite clear that we are heading again there, see you after this bull trap

The quick jump up probably enticed some people to sell out and have some fun with their extra money.

Don't be. It is just a natural artificial market manipulation. You will see the market calming going into panic mode when china wakes up tonight and from there a new potential pump dump will come.
