What is the most influential factor that triggers bitcoin prices to fall down?

[Edward Finney]

I think most of Bitcoins historical downsides have come on the back of news about regulations. Even though in think regulations will be a positive

Bitcoin is very volatile. It goes up and down at no time. But I started to think what causes its values to go down. These past few days, its prices are notably lower that last year's values. Last year, I believe, during the first few months, its prices are likewise low. Do bitcoin prices go down every January to February? Does it have a logical association?

Every idea that was stated in this thread were very reasonable and i think everyone was being aware of the FUDs causes bitcoins price to fall down,due to different fake news that was being heard by individual that knows about cryptocurrency.For me it really affects the mindset of the society hearing false informations that made people to speculate negatively.We supposed to do something inorder to make bitcoin last a lifetime....but what happen to people and some countries banning bitcoin?
Nowadays bitcoin were slowly recovering though price is unlikely compared those past years.Lets just hope that this will continue and price will be stabilize soon.

The most influential for the price movement of bitcoin is the demand and supply of btc plus the time. The more people acquire/trade btc, the higher the price that it could get. Plus time has an influence also. Every year end btc booms, probably because people have more money to invest in btc. December usually is the peak, but monitor it before Christmas as some holders sell their btc to spend for holiday. The first quarter of the succeeding year also provides low returns but after that expect bitcoin price to rise again.

I think the most influencial factor are those speculations or bad news about bitcoin.
This thing can manipulate the mind of a person, resulting to do panic selling. Even though those speculation is true or false, the first thing that some person comes in their mind is fear. Fear of lossing their money. To avoid that we need to be optimistic and always be positive.

Mostly the actors that influence or affect bitcoin price down is due to the demand or supply of btc in market place the higher the demand the lower the price and also the number of investor, and the time condition there's so called waiting time, the season of  timing or each token to grow and the people involved around it makes everything connected.

[Harlot]

Majority of the people here will say it is about the supply and demand but if you look at the market you will see that both has been more stable as of lately. What really affects the price more are people who have a lot of Bitcoin which what we call are whales or people who have a lot of money to buy Bitcoin. They are the ones who can dump all of their Bitcoin in order to push the price down and also theu can buy a lot of Bitcoin in order to push the price up. Whales are the biggest influencers of the market and they can used bad news to start a panic selling and good news to jack up the prices.

Maybe the economic condition as a whole that triggers the price of Bitcoin to fall down. Normally, by first quarter of the year, even stock market may fall down. Maybe because the tendency is to sell since christmas and new year happened at the end of the year and people are kept busy preparing for gifts, food and other activities like taking vacation somewhere or out of the country trip in which they should have a lot of money to spend during these season. And buying is their second priority then that affects the price to fall down because the supply is more than the demand.

With my little bitcoin knowledge this is the reason why bitcoin has a very small price because it has something to say that there is a fake new that it has spread to the bitcoin of all who invested it and because there is no significance the purpose of bitcoin.

[Kurokonobasuke]

I'm not sure but I think the demand in the market highly is what highly affects its market value since it is given that the demand is proportional with the price of anything in the market including Bitcoin. So in short, what happens with the demand will reflect to its valu. As such if the market value is falling, the market price will be low and it will also affect the profit of the users.

[awawo]

The most influential factor that affect the price of bitcoin most time is bad news and FUDS this is so because bitcoin operate on the economy law of demands and supply and once there is a bad news the demands will be affect resulting into low demands which at the end will result into falling of price.

[yamete kudasai]

The volume and demand are the two major things that affect its marjet value. As such if the demand is low, volume will also be and it will reflect the market price making it less expensive. But that is also a good time to invest since no dumps on its price is permanent. Like what usually happens, it will eventually increase after a couple of days.

[traderethereum]

actually, the most influential factor that triggers bitcoin prices to fall down is many people gets panic to see the price jumps from high price to the low price. and we can see that in a few weeks or months ago, we are in $19k and then the price is down and still going to down until we reach $12k-$15. but finally bitcoin down for more until it reached $7k and in that time, many people become sad and angry because the price jumps to the low price but the other people use this opportunity to buy bitcoin at a low price.

You are right that bad news really affects the price of bitcoins. Whenever there is some bad news people start taking out their money thus reducing the prices. We should really do something about this like making an official blog for conformation of such a news.

The volume and demand are the two major things that affect its marjet value. As such if the demand is low, volume will also be and it will reflect the market price making it less expensive. But that is also a good time to invest since no dumps on its price is permanent. Like what usually happens, it will eventually increase after a couple of days.

This is true for all things and one of the basic principles in economy that affects the prices. However, in case of bitcoins artificial demand is often created to manipulate the prices. This should also be dealt with by providing some sort of regulation.

Last year, I believe, during the first few months, its prices are likewise low. Do bitcoin prices go down every January to February? Does it have a logical association?

here's some factors that triggers bitcoin price.

1. if BTC splits into multiple currencies, there is the potential for one or both chains to lose a significant amount of value.
2.  if there is some security issue that comes to light about BTC that compromises the integrity of the ledger, that would most certainly cause a crash.
3. panic selling
4. fake new also  affect the emotions of traders and lead them to sell their bitcoin.

[eelectrick]

I believe with bitcoin's massive take on people and establishments surely makes it a very close monitored subject in the media worldwide.
Being so, a lot of new and old factors adds up to it's resurgence and decrease from time to time. The chain in supply and demand is one of
the other things that continues to play it's role, there is even talk in bitcoin communities of the influential hold and affluence in the purchase
and sales of bitcoins in large quantities of whales that seem to have it's toll in bitcoins performance. Whales are the big guys with bitcoins.
I think negative media also damages bitcoins, decreasing prices are the best way in telling the severity it has on it.

I think the main cause bitcoin price fall is bad news, second is supply demand and the last is trend at the market.
If we hear bad news at the big countries like usa, china, japan, south korea, and europe, price will falling down very fast.
That's just my opinion.

[supandi wiharja]

Probably not weird in the crypto world we always hear about the rise and decrease in bitcoin prices significantly, because bitcoin fluctuates.
In my opinion, the most influential factor in bitcoin values ​​is the sale of bitcoin in large quantities, this is triggered by bitcoin users who hear negative news about bitcoin then they feel panic and sell bitcoins to secure their assets.
Vice versa, if there is positive news about bitcoin then many users who buy it, and of course the purchase of bitcoin on a large scale impacts the price increase significantly.

[Sum24]

I guess bitcoin value is base on supply and demand. Low supply and high demand means price increase, but if the supply is more than demand then it triggers the price to fall.

Yes! but he wise people will know it is time to hold and to get the profit instead o selling all of the bitcoin and not to earn profit, if the demand of bitcoin in market get a bit down it is the time to hold you bitcoin and to if you see the demand is getting high you can sell your bitcoin at very high price. I know in market the demand of bitcoin use to increase and decrease but the best thing which can make you rich with bitcoin is your own patience. So panic selling sometimes makes the price go a little down in market if we will avoid this then bitcoin price will only grow and will increase but never decrease.

[alyssa85]

The big bear market of 2014-2015 was triggered by Mt Gox going down. It was a HUGE exchange and loads of people had coins on there.

The ones who lost money lost heart in bitcoin completely and noobs were frightened off.

This time, the big risk is people taking loans to purchase bitcoin. If you have purchased with cash, you can hold and wait for a market correction. But those who borrow tend to make forced sales, and a lot of forced sales can tank the market.

NEWS is one of the biggest factors that affect bitcoin price in the market, especially when it comes to well-known people in cryptocurrency world. another factor of this are those exchange and country whos turning bitcoin down, but ass bitcoin fall many people want to jump in on t\its dip that makes the coin price go up or even stop the fall of this bitcoin. We are just so lucky that bitcoin already build its foundation to the people all around the world and got so many supporters.
