The market fell sharply, what is going on?

[carriebee]

I have lost a lot of money in crypto, but I do not panic, because I understand very well about trading risk, do not put all your funds in trading, leave some for your life, 

This is good thinking when the market feel sharply we dont have to be panic. Let's be keep in mind that it always happen as before price may dump and as may pump. Patience is important hold as you were think on it price can grow again.

The market just corrected form all the madness that was December. In my opinion it has healed quite nicely and the bottom has came and left. It growing at a healthy pace as we speak.

Goldman Sachs will get in altcoin trading in may and hedge funds are bullish on crytpos.

Do you have any sources for this claim? This would indeed be a game changer, even though not very clear what would happen next...

Yeah I mean that will be a big news in the market however as I observe even a big news can't even affect a little now and I feel there's something up and only the big whales are involved.
Hence, many weak hands are still loosen up and whales won't stop yet until they got all they want.

Well, if Goldman Sachs is going to get involved then I would not be surprised them already manipulating the market to tank prices and load cheap coins in stealth mode

You're just going through you emotions and you must avoid
this. It will ruin you. Believe in the technology of the crypto
currency that you are invest and hodl it for a very long
time. Soon, it will be worth it.

The market is falling sharply, I see signs of not healing, capitalization is withdrawn, should I continue to buy in the top 10 coin or should I pin down USDT and wait for new move? 

Every start of the year, the market experiences recalibration in price. This is a normal situation. The market price adjusts since it came from a peak price from the latter part of last year. It usually recover midyear and rises as it approaches the month of October or November. Do not panic. Cryptomarket is naturally volatile and will experiences all kinds of pumps and dumps.

There is nothing to worry about right now the cryptocurrency is facing now a lot of problems that are affecting the prices, the bigest of them is the regulation, there were many news in the recent days about some governments thinking of banning bitcoin, and others setting heavy taxes on the exchanges, and also the news about the stolen cryptocurrency from the japanese exchange company, that also affected the prices, but as always there is nothing to worry about because soon the market will rise stronger than ever and if you are going to be buying, i guess you suggest the main cryptos like bitcoin and ethereum because those are the ones that will surely rise in the near future.

You are a very experienced person. I thank you very much for spending time sharing that with me and my friend-Newbie. The market is recovering strongly, hoping that my account will increase in mid-2018.

[MasterMoney]

Same old, same old. First Chiana FUD, then South Korea FUD, now it's the India FUD. When will people learn that this can't really stop bitcoin or crypto. There is also the tether FUD now, although I don't even understand how people can fall for that one. First tether could only represent 1.3% of total bitcoin value, so even if they were a scam they would have no real impact on bitcoin. Also, if they were a scam why on earth would people sell bitcoin to tether lol. They should be buying bitcoin with tether, and not selling BTC.

As for the new India FUD, as usual related to banning exchanges, I just have to say that we really need reliable decentralized exchanges. Once this is done, people will no long fear these type of bans.

Hope that your belief will comfort all the Newbie like me and others, hoping that the market will recover strongly.

Indeed it is important and this is the only tool that can save people from such losses. You may heard hundred and thousands of the stories of traders who lost badly. And they mourn after this loss and when asked, they often said they didn’t had stabled in hard times. When prices are going down somehow, people start getting panic and think may be their coin is going to zero, but you must relax at that time.

[slashz9]

it depends if your money is still a lot you can buy back, if not and you've already bought some coins and decreased the value better hold it, do not panic the market will get better in the mid and the end of the year

[ImSuparmin]

I heard, now the market is down because of blocking all about Bitcoin on Facebook, so investors are less informed and also the prohibition of almost all countries that Bitcoin is illegal.

I even believe cryptocurrencies are here to stay even though not all of them but at least if you are sure of your holdings, there should be no need to be perfect. I remember the value of some of these coins earlier last year, in fact this down trend was like a huge uptrend back then, but now, those who held long at those prices are having a good time in the market right now. At the end, those who hold, buy at dips like this, are always the ones to get the good profit at the end.

[phucngungoc]

At the moment, we need to have positive news for crypto especially because more people are aware of it now than last year. And its not only btc but other alts as well. I agree with you that crypto is here to stay and all these fuds are just delaying the inevitable fact that crypto will be mainstream

Now is the time for you to buy good coin, and after a few months you will get results after waiting days, believe me.

[richmcrich]

Sounds like weeding,  seems they are really shaking the tree really hard to remove weak hands in crypto market.  I believe this is another manipulation to gather more Bitcoin.  They knew that bitcoin will really go up in price after this next development so they wanted to get their hands on as many bitcoin they can gather.  I agree that this is a game of patience and those who cannot wait will suffer a great lost.

The best explanation for me. Thank you for that.

We do not know when this will end but we know something or someone is trying to make if fall just so they could buy at a cheaper price.
It might be the whales. This happened before and then again they will pump it in just month when they are satisfied and have doubled or tripled the bitcoin that they have.
Surely you can do this when you are rich. Not fair but good business.

Really perfect way to put it. Normally, any smart investor will know by now that the big hands are beginning to get interested and we all know they will not be stupid enough buying when everyone has bought and still busy buying. Obviously, they are good at reading emotions from the chart and greed was written all over it, and to get back at the best price, causing a stir in the market, making use of the media and manipulating was just the best way for them to go about it.

When prices fall sharply is a good time to invest 

[00DKM@]

I think you should calm down and hold your altcoin. Much anticipation in 2018 will be the boom year for the crypto market. Just in early 2018, bitcoin prices and other altcoin are slowly recovering. You should not rush to sell your altcoin. I believe in future Bitcoin will increase to $ 50,000. Wish you success in the crypto market.

As I said before also market is unstable right now we can't trust it anyway right now until feb isn't over we should be extra safe with our investment to incur least losses there isn't one reason for this fall multiple things are happening which is causing all this

[MasterMoney]

I heard, now the market is down because of blocking all about Bitcoin on Facebook, so investors are less informed and also the prohibition of almost all countries that Bitcoin is illegal.

It seems that the government has intervened strongly in technical money, hoping Crytopia will thrive and not be held back, I have a strong belief in it.

[zergenyt09]

Just hodl my brothers and sisters, this kind of thing always happens. Theres not much to do about it really.

There is some interesting regulation in the US coming down the pipe too - but they seem to have a "dont fuck with it until we understand it" attitude which is extremely nice compared to how it was before

Just as simple and easy as it sounds. No one has ever seen a market without its trend changing. Bitcoin trend changed from uptrend to downtrend, so there is nothing to always worry one self about. This is a normal thing in the market and before we even know it, we will end up having a rally, breaking resistances and testing new ATHs very soon. Most times, it is just best to pick up some popcorn and be watching as event unfolds.

[redsun114]

I believe it is only normal for crypto to have a crash long term, because we all agree that bitcoin is being used more for profit therefore having a yearly downfall should be expected. It happens most of the year and believe me after this a massive profit is waiting for us, you just need to wait until they reaches their lowest point then after that buying as much as you can would be the best thing to do.

Most especially when we ended up having a massive rally turning to something else and beginning to get scary, it is just normal to have the market correct it hugely.

It was expected anyway, so there is nothing to worry about. The market is even strong enough to be bouncing a little bit back now, although no one can really tell for now, until the trend changes fully, but for now, let's just know that after a huge dip, there is always a great bounce back.
