Why altcoin price down during this week? What are the reason?

[Herbert2020]

the answer is the same as when altcoin prices were rising. it is what happens during a pumping season.
the altcoins get pumped all around the market and everyone joins in then after all of them entered a big bubble the smart money exits and the rest of the market starts dwindling until it reaches the bottom and real low value of each altcoin shows itself.

I also see this way as the reason of dumping of all cryptos. I notice that all altcoins pumps price tremendously and anytime this dump will happened once early investors exits. I'm glad that I convert all my money to fiat before the dump and now I already buy back in to btc then ready to buy dump altcoin​s. Yummy

The thing that I dont understand is when lots of people selling altcoins (all in red) then bitcoin should be pumped, because people sell their altcoin for bitcoin. But that just dont happen, on which part am I wrong?

I think our world was experience an economic crisis that's why crytocurrencies and altcoins were affected. Or maybe bitcoin prices in the market was increased more that's why altcoins were be affected.

the part where people decide to take profit and change it to fiat to pay the bills, money is flowing out slowly

There is no reason for this dump but some coins are pumping like litecoin and ripple is stable.ethereum going down because in past 2 weeks it increased about 200$ now finding stable position it will stay aroun 300 to 320 now onwards.

Ethereum prices have gone down by almost 40%, and IMO this is not a simple correction. There are two possibilities. Either the promoters such as Vitalik Buterin and Joseph Lubin are dumping their coins or converting them to BTC, or the demand is down as the SegWit2X support has crossed the 80% hashrate in the Blockchain.

There seems to have been a flash crash for doge and other coins last night - probably someone selling a large amount at once, crashing through the buy orders and triggering margin covering (if people were long, they would have forcibly sold, making the crash worse).

The herd mentality often results in stupdity. Probably some big investors cash out, people see a bunch of coins going down, so they all sell as well out of fear. The market is controlled mainly by fear. There is no real logical answer, in crypto markets nothing is really too logical. Perhaps people are preparing for segwit of bitcoin, the uncertainty causes a lot of people to get out of the markets all together. Personally I don't think it's smart to sell at a loss, or just cause your coin goes down, why is this a good time to sell? It's buy low sell high, not buy low, sell when it goes down. The herd mentality is not ruled my inteligence, but emotion, fear, and since almost none of these coins have real world value it's all speculation, trying to get more bitcoin, is just a game. The game goes up and down.

is now a Best time to buy some altcoin?

There are many reasons.
1. Many newcomers came into Bitcoin and Altcoins to make a fast buck.
2. Bitcoin scaling problem woes.
3. Ethereum mass dump to 0.10 cents on GDAX.
4. Ethereum transaction bottlenecks
5. Profit takers
6. Irrational market - when one dumps, they all dump.  
7. Many idiots and so called money gurus saying Bitcoin is going to crash and that we should all sell BTC and Altcoins and buy gold.

Why altcoin price down during this week? What are the reason?

The main reason of the down in the price is not a single factor .
Here I have three different different reasons that why the price of the altcoins goes down in.the week .
1) The ico attracted the people more , so few of the Bitcoiner sold the altcoin and invested in the ico , results into down price .
2) Increase in the price of the Bitcoin , so to complete the demand of the Bitcoin they sold the altcoins .
3) The big movement of the Bitcoin legalisation is going on in the whole world , currently many of the countries the new new news are coming and saying that Bitcoin will legalise soon , this made the increase in the demand of btc and many of the people bought Bitcoin .
So to go behind the Bitcoin and increase in demand made the down of the investment in the cryptocurremcy market mainly for the altcoins .

This reply covers the bases pretty well.  I think the upcoming fork has lots of strong, big balance btc holders a little spooked.  Which seems to be having a mixed and somewhat unpredictable affects on alt coins.  Things will smooth out in August.
