Yep China is busy again, really hating it, every time there is this pump and dumping and we get stuck soon or later due to that.

You seems to get it wrong.

Chinese were buying expensive BTC at $1200 a week ago and now are selling at $700 to European and American whales. Chinese are the victim here. Instead Bitcoin would help them it steals their hard earned money.

Just found this. It's a couple of hours old but it is some insight on what's going on in China.

Indeed interesting and maybe this could be part of the reason for big drop but isn't China always going in and out of banning/regulatory mode with Bitcoin? It will be interesting to see how they will attempt to regulate.

I love Bitcoin

That was really not expected droop. Just this morning I was checking the price and it was like 910$. I was making prognoses just yesterday that we will never see such price as 500$. But after this sudden dip I am not sure. Well, it's good time to buy bitcoins now.

It's all because of them damn Chinese Bitcoiners waking up at 5AM China local time on a Thursday and all choosing to sell off at the exact same time that caused the downturn. Luckily, a different sect of sane Chinese Bitcoiners later in the day saw value and purchased what their panicky brethrens sold off in the wee hours resulting in an uptick.


In case you've missed it, the Chinese government is now investigating the crypto exchanges in China for ... wait for it ... market manipulation.

I think the Chinese incidence in the price movements are generally over-estimated.

That Chinese exchanges tend to have higher volumes than Western ones is largely due to the zero-fees policy. I don't doubt that there are a lot of Chinese Bitcoiners (above all, people related to the Chinese mining pools) but I doubt the relation between the Chinese trading volume and the USD trading volume is an indicator for the real distribution of Bitcoin users.

For example, at https://bitnodes.21.co China is on the 7th place (the first is the US, but even in Canada and the Netherlands there are more nodes than in China).

The reason, in my opinion, is more related to psychology. After the USD ATH was not broken, the more the price got down, the more the sentiment is going in the direction "the rally is over". For example, people that bought in the $400s, can still sell with decent profit. "Bad news" liike those from China help the shorters to make profit themselves and to exaggerate the downwards movements.

Maybe 5000 CNY is a turning point, maybe even the $720 area where the "medium term uptrend" would be broken. We'll see.

Panic selling is the only reason why bitcoin goes down and down.  When there is panic selling ,the next will be a sudden drop in the price of.bitcoin. this scenario is always common in bitcoin.

After reading of some comments I see that nobody really know the reasons of this sudden drop. Me also. But it's a nice time to buy bitcoin now to those who are ready to make some money on the price difference, cause of bitcoin is going to rise back.

You are right - it was a bad sign that the USD ATH was not broken. It broke a pattern that we've had in the last eight years, where each surge in price burst through the previous ATH.

I wonder what this means for bitcoin's future now that pattern has been broken.

Theres something that we should all learn from this.
Now that China will be out of it with the things that are going on there now is the time to recover and get more than them in all the bad news that is falling on their side of putting so much into mining and their exchanges.
Now is the time to act and not quibble about how the price is going down but make good of it instead.

Everyone trying to give an explanation, but I see that everyone has a different theory. Evidently, uncertainty reigns now and reveals  the  great weakness of bitcoin as a reliable method of store of value.
