Token price fall after ICO

[glowing10]

There is a trend with most (not all but most) ICO.  Price drops after ICO from people selling and then goes back up in a couple of days or weeks if its a good project.  So people who are trying to make a quick buck is happy and people who are HODL are also happy.

Majority of times it happens due to the pumping and dumping where people group together and buy some coin at very cheap rates especially new coins and little bit price moves up they dump all the coins this the market falls due to the sell . As a result a normal investor holding few coins sell it in a panic mode and thus become more cautious with such coins.

A good example is Monaco. The price after ico fell down. And only after a few months the coin go to the moon. And this is not the limit. Maybe it's just a warm-up.

Ya monaco is quite impressive.  good example

Have there been any tokens where the trading price on exchanges at the very start fell considerably below the ICO price and has not recovered?

Most of the recent ICO-s.

SONM was probably the most disastrous one I can think of.

[Tactic]

what is the percent of the ICO which token price fall after crowdsale? 50% or near 80%?

[examplens]

It all depends on which period is being watched.
I think first two-three months it always price will go down. There is a many reasons like panic sells and bounty hunter sell. I think 8+ months is a minimum time to hold

TenX's token pay for example! It was listed at Bittrex exchange on July 7 at 0.0036 BTC, however, then it dropped as low as 0.00033521 BTC on July 9

Would you say that inital dumping below ico price are due to the fact of the increased value of the investment coin (BTC, ETH, or whatever) during the ICO time. Fiat wise, investors could make a profit anyway, even though the price in crypto currency is lower.

I don't know on what is happening on that coin and looks like that SONM dev doesn't care there coins today since they doesn't do any solid plans to make there coin pump like what other ICO coins did. And Investors of this coin is very unfortunate since many of them lost there money from fake project plans.

price is going down again though. Not sure if i trust monaco completely yet. i think they post a bunch of rumors up at times to drive price, like a fake monaco card picture with the visa logo

Seems like a pattern with all ICOs I've seen with the exception of Veri... usually they drop right after they hit the market and then they spike back up.

Unfortunately some don't ever make it back up

Probably because almost every bounty hunter is running to sell tokens and price drops because of that?
I don't see any other reason, I don't think investors will rush to sell tokens ASAP for lower price and lose money.

I feel like there could be many different reasons, some could be
- People need money for other investments
- People that did bounty but did not buy the coin may be selling theirs so anything sold is profit
- Many ico have bonuses, say 40% bonus, so if they coin drops 30% and they sell, they still made profit
- Panic selling
- People selling with the purpose of rebuying when its lower.  Enough ppl sell their coins, it creates panic, and then you can rebuy at lower price.  As long as you sell first, then you can take advantage of the panic sellers.  ppl with trading bots could probably take advantage of this.
- Bad news came about about the company after the ICO that caused ppl to loose their confidence in them.  Maybe least likely to happen?
- Probably many other reasons too

We call them WHALES. They are dumping, pumping prices. Usually they are from China. They are early investors of BTC and they are trying legalize their earnings because of goverment rules. They are buying all the tokens in ICO pre-sale with low price. When the exchange adds new coin they are selling. This is generally how ICO works and nobody says this in public. How can anybody imagine all ICO pre-sales reaches the demand they are asking? 50.000 ETH for example completes in few hours  It is not possible withoute whales.

Look for good ICOs  like REAL ico. If you're going to participate in all old ICO you'll find huge drops in price after ICO.

See if the market that ICO is entering is worth Billions. If it's not you've got no hope.

Definitely some handle ICO better than others.  Like Enigma is using a whitelist and everyone on the whitelist for ICO can contribute a max of $10K USD which will help with pump and dumps a little.  ppl can look for these.  While many other ICO is just free for all.

[Ashdrake]

If it dumps to or below ICO, just hold. You'll get into profit eventually. It's tempting to play the 'sell for a loss, but buy back at an even better rate' game, but that can quickly go horribly, horribly wrong.

I think Cindicator have their own whitelist  and surely those one can contribute will to their coins and maybe those list can make this project became more success but let see if this coin will not came to the point that this one will be dump and will be pump for longterm around. And i don't monitor any Altcoins right now and let see on how would they react well when they will be added on good exchange.

- Bad news came about about the company after the ICO that caused ppl to loose their confidence in them.  Maybe least likely to happen?

But there are professional coin-haters out there who are exactly like the attack-dogs hired by the hedge funds to do a hatchet job on things like penny stock ISOs and other fledgling stock ventures.
They destroyed confidence in the penny stock markets like the OTC, and worse, many of the hedgies had access to things like NSA surveillance data, that is, ILLEGALLY EXPLOITING the covert wire tapping data and other black ops  run by the likes of the CIA and the NRO and Echelon and Operation Keyhole and the the IRS etc.
Basically NO fledgling can afford the necessary privacy and security measure to evade destruction by the hedgies and having their intellectual property basically bankrupted and bought up for pennies after dissolution.

So now we have the era of the alt coin trolls doing the same thing.  Throwing spanners into the works and the like to drive prices down, boosting negativity, exaggerating flaws, spreading false damaging information etc.  

So beware of trolls intentionally spreading negativity to drive prices down or destroy competitors.
Electroneum is under attack because of a slight delay in introducing their mobile mining (iphone/android) application.
Worse, they are under massive DOS attacks etc, which is massively illegal btw , unless you are essentially above the law in some respect. (work for some shadow agency of some sort?)
The ICO coins are on lockdown because of hacking .
I predict the same for Electroneum when the locked down ICO coins hit the market, the price of the coins will sell off as ICO investors take initial profits

 And the trolls have gone berserk trashing Electroneum , battering it almost beyond recognition, so it may never fully recover.

Many times actually, they offer good products and services in their advertisement videos and web page people tend to be hype at this but some of them failed to deliver the expectation from their buyers and sellers which is why a lot of people distrusts ICO's tradings but eventually there are a lot good ICO's out there, for example, BITTREX, brickblock, and ADV. You should try reading articles and research more about them.
