Why is it in the past 24 hrs almost all of the altcoins is going down atleast 10 percent in value even though bitcoin's price is steady at $2.5k. Is it contrary or something is really happening. Any thoughts?

The more traders get panic caused by the strong FUD. Especially for the ethereum platform. I think you must try to read about the latest news of ethereum itself. There is a problem with the ethereum network and that will need to be fixed by vitalik butrin.

The price of ETH dumped to $150 and almost every altcoin went dowm at least 50% percent. I do not know the exact reason and I guess the reason may be from the ETH.

I totally agree with you. There are tons of new guys who joined to crypto world to just mining while they don't know anything about mining. most of them just mine and sell. at the same time so many new investor. Since they don't know how much volatility coin world, they panic easily and sell.

it is not just in the past 24 hours, this has been going on for a while now. the bubbles that everyone was warning you about are now popping and the drops are only getting bigger like an avalanche. this is the first phase where people still have faith in many altcoins so the drops are small like -10% but when a couple of days go by each with another -10% all those people will give up and instead will start panic selling. and that day is the day you should fear the most.

As I have read from some threads, altcoin growth is based from Bitcoin's price. If Bitcoin is going for a big down movement then altcoin will go down too. Some people called it retracement. Why is it in the past 24 hrs almost all of the altcoins is going down atleast 10 percent in value even though bitcoin's price is steady at $2.5k. Is it contrary or something is really happening. Any thoughts?

Bitcoin has not been steady. It is moving down, albeit slowly. The alts are more sensitive to the underlying market sentiment. In a downtrend, they tend to fall much more than Bitcoin.

Also it doesn't help that most portfolio valuation is done relative to BTC so when a dip starts on BOTH alts and BTC at the same time the drop is compounded. Retracement is a fancy word for a market correction, which is a short hand for "everything grew too quick and now we're seeing the drop to real value". This happens in any market and there's no magic way to predict when or how far a correction will go, as an investor only you can decide what's right. Personally, i'm holding most long term, and this drop isn't anything new or particularly scary, i still anticipate long-term growth.

Ethereum network is currently have problem and many traders a selling out of panic. Panic selling create opportunity to buy cheap and wise traders always take this opportunity to buy and in future sell high and this circle will ever continue. The amateur buy high and sell low out of panic why the wise buy low and sell high for profit.

Yeah they are going down almost every week and as bitcoin is going down too, the altcoins are following bitcoins price going down. That's just my observation though for the past few weeks.

It can't go up all the time, once in a while it has to go down in order to go up again. I am sure everything will be fine in the end. Let us wait another day. Most of the coins have seen massive losses. I am pretty sure everything is going to be nice and green again.

As a new investor to this space I can see how the network issues would drive out retail money. Half the time I can't even see my balance at coinbase, and from reading other posts the level of service/trust available at the exchanges varies wildly from meh to god-awful which if you are coming from the world of stocks is a real eye opener. I'm holding long so I'm not particularly concerned, but I also don't have a lot invested and I'm more tech savvy (as I'm sure most are who've been in crypto longer than me) than the average retail investor. Nothing inspires selling like not being able to get access to your money. I think that fact that there are some serious growing pains technically on top of the typical lemmings that come in on a peak and wash out on the dips creates the situation we are in now. Personally I'd love to see a crash because I think the underlying concept is here to stay and I'd like to load up.

Is this he pop that people have been talking about this last few weeks? I see ETH is going down fast and the flippening that some are saying is not happening soon. Some weaker hands have been shaken already and have sold their alt coins very fast. They don't want to be trap just like most of us.

its better than losing much bigger stake in my case i just sell some coins with the current downfall price and try to go much deeper entry so if ever it got filled up i will still hold some of this coin and sell it back again with the higher value in case some rebounds happen and i will still at profit.

Where the information about ETH's problems come from? I didn't hear anything like this on the crypto news. All alts depended from Bitcoin and if Bitcoin's price gone down a little - the percent of fall among altcoins is much bigger.

This is the kind of thing I read everytimes a pump ends. Even if you can be right, you could be wront too so stay careful. Anyway these ICO weren't healthy and were a sign that someting was going wrong. I'm just interested to see what will happen in the next weeks.

Green is coming, you better buy now before it rise up. https://image.ibb.co/iPPMA5/altcoins.pngSome people here are ridiculous, having $5 worth of altcoins and panic to sell. There are people here with millions worth of coins and they ain't selling. Last month crypto market was $68B, last week it was $110B. now it is $93B. What do you think will happen next month? the "corrections". and the market will get beyond $150B.

I wrote this at the worst moment (I hope it WAS) when my portfolio was at -20% I did CTFU&W (chill the F up and wait) and now I am at -13%. There may be another correction coming, but so far it seems to hold. My portfolio looks like a crazy rollercoaster :-)

well just pick the coin that have big potential to make a bounce back like big names for sure the dev will try to make some updates and sometimes they will try to place a buy wall to make sure that the project will not go so deep. profits will follow if we know how to look for good entry.

There are reasons. Reason 1: ICO's exposed Ethereum weakness. Solution 1: PoS / Casper. Reason 2: The fraud happen on G-DAX with $0.10 price for ETH Solution 2: Stupid traders learned their lessons. Reason 3: Fake news about death of Vitalik the founder of Ethereum. Solution 3: He took a photo with latest block number to show he's alive. Who had benefits? The ones who cashed out Investors that buy now when price low Losers? People that got panic and sold with lose. In the folowing days you'll see major corrections

Well, i'm one of the newbs that bought into bitcoin almost at ATH, also some other altcoins and now the value of everything dropped by -30% meaning a potential loss of almost 1500$ if i would sell everything right now...And i have the feeling, that the marketcap will go down even further (maybe just above 50B). But: I will hold...and i will buy more when the price is down because i think bitcoin has a future and will rise to new dimensions in a few years from now. Worst scenario: I'll invest 10-20k and lose everything...Well that would be hard, but some people have higher losses when buying new cars and selling them after two years... Or: Best Scenario: I can quit my Job in 2020

Why is it in the past 24 hrs almost all of the altcoins is going down atleast 10 percent in value even though bitcoin's price is steady at $2.5k. Is it contrary or something is really happening. Any thoughts?
The price of bitcoin has even gone lower that the price you have there and I expect that the price of alt coin might even have to go down further depending on how the demand for such coin is able to hold against bitcoin price coming down. The real reason in actual sense, no one knows we all guess and hope the market will correct itself in due time so as to shame the predicters of the end of bitcoin.

Nothing inspires selling like not being able to get access to your money.
You can access your money very easily. Just move it to a wallet where you actually control the private keys. If you were as tech savvy as you say you are, you'd know that. Altcoins will get more sensitive and go down with ETH, but it's nothing to do with this.

Yes I understand that of course, my point was that the flood of people that came in will include many who don't understand this and see the crypto exchanges as the same level as stock exchanges. When issues like today and the last several days vis a vis access to buys/sells and funds is interrupted *a lot* then they will decide this space isn't ready for prime time and move their money elsewhere. Just reading the site here it is obvious many people, while they may have a wallet on their local computer, actually use the exchange's wallets to hold their funds.

Despite the long term bullish trend, right now Bitcoin is not in a situation I would consider steady. Five percent drop is a high value for a multi-billion dollar marketcap. Regarding the altcoins drop, when Bitcoin falls in price many people sell their altcoins to buy Bitcoin.
