What caused all the price drops?

[#dhabitamartha]

Almost all the altcoins (and bitcoin too) went down alot yesterday. Does anybody have a clue what caused this major drop?

this is a market and many users play big investors or dealers and this also affects the weakening dollar and this unstable market affects bitcoin.

there are no special factors that cause the price to fall, I think this is a reasonable cycle in the world of cryptocurrency because prices fall and rise can happen anytime. so I think this could be one way to trade and get when the price goes down and up.

[zinkla]

There is too much FUD on the entire market and that is causing all the prices to go down, this is normal but i do not understand why there is such amount of fud that seems to be unlimited.

The reason for the drop in prices is because people are selling their coins. The more money leaves the market the further down the prices go, which is actually what is happening to the market right now and causing the price drops.

It might be a reason but for me the main reson is the declined in price of bitcoin , as we can see bitcoin goes down , and all of the other coins goes down too, the reason for that is bitcoin is the foundation of all coin so what ever happens to bitcoin will also happen to other cypto , although I am not saying that it will entirely affect the coin but it reallhas an effect to a coin because bitcoin is the father or the king of all coin .

Maybe because the Christmas and New Year's Day is coming soon it will quickly come. and sometimes some of them are transferring some of their cumulative bitcoins to having a lot of fiat money so they can speed up the things that are needed for christmas entry. Except for some expressions that are really affected by a bitcoin price and because a bitcoin is now crashing, and some or most of the coins are crashing too. as some of the altcoins also depend on the price of a bitcoin.

All projects, coin over values and bubbles in past now it needed a strong correction and likely a test for people faith. Weaker will leave and only whale is winners

[Arlibtchunt2018]

In my opinion this deep that is happening at the moment is commonly caused by correction. The price now is too much for some coins to worth for. This could be understandable that the time will come when the prices will at its average price.

Anyone in the country can actually make the price of cryptocurrency to drop, fud in other countries that are spreading , alleged hackers in the korea who are changing the price in the market, everyone can make the price of cryptocurrency to dump if they have a name like businessman or famous people.

[QueenW]

There is no global negative news background. Is that news about breaking the Korean stock exchange. I think that the situation we are now witnessing is pure manipulation with the aim of knocking out weak players from the market.

[rsremove21]

for me its because of the season, and also because of dropping of BTC so that the other(altcoins) will automatically drop there price too. but dont worry it will rise again.

Everyone altkoins depend on the bitcoin price and its price is influenced by large holders and owners of exchanges for their own purposes

[Dblue]

Price drops are caused by people dumping. The major price drops are caused when whales are dumping in a bid to manipulate the prices of the coins to their own advantage so they can buy at a cheaper price. That is why we tell people to not panic sell when they see the prices going down because they are just contributing to the price drops.

yes, and if bitcoin price is down then the altcoin will get the effects too. but I think it's not effective for all altcoin because if you check in the market, there still an altcoin that is not getting impact with the down of the bitcoin price and the price of that coin still increase although it cannot getting too high. besides that, the news will take a part of the price drops and people panic will be the next reason for the price drops.

[kokota174]

It seems that most of altcoins are recovering after dropping. Althought Bitcoin is dropping but it does not affect to altcoin like last period. These good altcoins are keep rising except Pump and Dump altcoins

[trung.nguyen2382]

The market is called market because not everybody buys, there is also somebody who sells. When the people who sell happen to be more than those who buy, you can enjoy a nice price drop

[John Emst]

The decline in prices led to speculation and weak competition in the market of crypto-currencies.                                                

[dasha_buka]

One of the main reasons for the cheapening of bitcoin experts call the market news.recently, the Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Coincheck was stolen cryptocurrency NEM in the amount of 527 million dollars.
In addition, on Tuesday in South Korea entered into force new rules. Now, to trade cryptocurrency, each trader is obliged to identify himself / herself with the help of a Bank account.

[joeflicker]

Too many people and investors has sold their bitcoin for cash and getting reinvesting for property. Beside of that there is too many scammers and people who male issues while many people has been sold their coins, they make bad news about why most people sells the bitcoin. It might dropped the bitcoin price I think.

[Prince Malik]

The price manipulation is the main reason+ the panic sell
I wish that bitcoin will rais again
