Token price fall after ICO

[bribed]

The problem with bounty hunters selling their coins/tokens is certainly there, but still, you must keep in mind that the bounties are many times not that much coins/tokens compared to the whole supply. Many bounty programs offer 1% or 2% of all sold tokens, means its in most cases 1% or 2% of 50% of the whole supply, because only 50% of all coins/tokens are sold during the ico. Even if it is 1% or 2% of whole supply its still not that much. So for me Im not sure if the bounty hunters really can affect the price that much, in my opinion its more the "ico hopping" many people are doing. Buy on Ico and sell direct after it hits exchange to get to the next ico... I dont like this strategy, but everyone his own.

Many ICO was success for bounty participate.When campaign is complete then bounty manager given reward their bounty participate.But lot of fool bounty hunter sell their token in market below price.New investor buy this in low price.for this reason token price fall after ICO.

You have to wait longer, hodl and don't just sell if after the ICO.

It is mainly due to the too high discounts. Every time there is a dump from bounties, discounts, so if ICO wants a long term with business - it must watch out.

Some of this element were noted here:

There are few reasons for tokens prices go down:
1) Most of the tokens prices go down after the ICO cause nobody has any strategy for token management after ICO.
2) The projects who have media plans for at least 6 months to show their work and keep everybody holding their tokens have better chances to succeed.
3) Bounty campaign is another problem as mentioned in this thread many times already. You have to be  aware of ICO flippers who are buying with discounts (and i many cases with hidden discounts by the team on presales).
4) The team can dump the price too. It is hard to track that situation even if they say their tokens will be distributed only 6 months after the ICO.

Also some ICO offer very big bounty. More than 1% bounty (some 3%) and all bounty hunters sell so price goes down.

Did anybody invest in STARTA? This is a project that invests in tech start-ups from eastern europe with the money raised in the ICO. Its a waves token, and eversince the ICO its only traded on the waves DEX. The initial price was $1 = 1 STA, right after the ICO the price dropped to $0.6 and never recovered. It was some times even as low as $0.4. As it is only traded on waves DEX, there is no trade volume and therefore no liquidity at all. Almost everybody that invested in the ICO is now a bagholder of this token and cant even sell at a huge loss as there is no liquidity. No way of getting the initial investment out. This is how it is sometimes. Crypto can be a big risk, if you fail to do your due dilligence as good as you should have.

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?

Yes, when an ICO issues their Token at say $1 or $2 this leaves a lot more potential for Fall, or a downward swing compared to ICOs that start smaller at something like $0.01 each. Heck Paragoncoin took in 40million and has yet to release coins.

People got used to make al least double of ICO price directly when the coin comes on any exchange, and now that this trend reversed a litlle bit there's a lot of disapointment.

A good example is Electroneum. There was a lot of hype on social media about it a while ago, especially on facebook. People were so disappointed that they were too late and couldn't join the ICO and buy tokens anymore . The price went from $0.12 to $0.03 in 2 weeks.

  I know some token like that. They fall about 50% of ico price. Its scary.

I think there are also a lot of tokens that appreciate after ICO, all depends.

Most of the time its the tokens that are not hyped a lot during the crowdsale, that then appreciate in value because people learn about it only when they hit the exchanges. But coins that are already hyped and had a lot of marketing during the ico often falls short because there are not many buyers anymore on the exchanges. Example for a coin that appreciated nicely after coming to exchanges is MODUM (MOD)

[criptolover12]

That's why I decided to not invest any ico. Even monetha can be traded much less price than ico. So wait and see is a better option now.

[Hammonds]

a lot of tokens that have prices far below the price of ICO. I wondered why it could happen or maybe there are some less desirable coins. and I think now to do the hold might be better.

This is somehow deceiving and we can also consider it as trolling. Some ICO do their best to promote their project and sometimes turn to hype just to make some noise in the community and call themselves a promising one but behind all these they knew the fact that when their token will be listed in exchanges it will never hit the ICO price and ICO price is a trap and part of their plans.
That's why sometimes those ICO that are just quiet and low key make more a quiet victory.

there are tons of such coins out there buddy.... which left nightmares to the investors and never recoverd...such a big loss t the investors.... we can simply find them on coin market cap

This really has been the problem of most ICOs as most times price seems to fall below the original offering. You can imagine the stress to buy in during an ICO only for it to plunge later. For instance, look at Westerncoin and glasscoin. Expectations on them have been cut short while a few like regalcoin and hextracoin have surpassed theirs.

The best to get from your investment in ICO is to hold your coins for a while. Yes after ICO,token might fall, but don't panic. it will bounce back.

[Sweet_Angel]

One of token price fall after ICO is everex. First time when i get this token, it has 80% volume then after ICO finish it fall down to be -40% volume. It likes a heart attack    but as time goes by the price increasing again.

It can be concluded that the price is always fluctuating, and if we can be patient the right time to sell will arrive and there profit has been waiting there so always update in trading.
