Why the price of bitcoin rapidly going down

[gwaps012]

When ever the price of bitcoin is going down rapidly means there will be specific reasons behind it for such massive selling. The market  movement generally  based on the rumors. There will be negative and positive rumors in connection with the bitcoin. If there is any type of positive rumors to bitcoin there will be massive buying in the market and such negative rumors there will be massive selling in the market .We can see the price variations in the market accordingly.

Massive selling is the main reason why bitcoin price is decreasing, I also think that is because of the weak holders who are in panic mode when the price in the market is going down, It must not that way , selling your funds in a low price will be crucial for both your future profits and present earnings, Hold your funds and wait for it to bloom, I think it will be a good sign for your future references.

huge FUD and that is the making the price go down, there is nothing that can avoid this to happen and we just need to wait a little bit more

[carcas]

It's all because everyone is panicking about the bad market conditions. everyone sells their assets and makes user losses crypto. bad news and hackers also affect the current price of bitcoin and altcoin.

The news in term of development are actually decent, with LN getting closer to a release, so I think this is just temporary.

I don’t think lightening network has anything to do with this decrease in price rate of Bitcoin. This is a regular thing, the price of Bitcoin always goes up and down every year. 2017 was a lot different, the price kept on going up and there were lots of people opposing Bitcoin and saying all sorts of things to discourage people from investing.

I don’t know how to explain the year 2017,but it was very much different from every other year. Despite all those challenges, coming to the end of the year the price of Bitcoin had a sudden spark increase. This year, we don’t know how it might be, but let’s just have patience.

There is a long decline. investors are anxious about this situation. because investors are losing money. the decrease in demand for each price decrease is also diminishing. The bitcoin area people are waiting to get at low prices.
this is having a bad effect on the market.

  Bitcoin is a currency that is not fixed by the same levers, this has already been said here repeatedly. As for me here is speculation on the price of bitcoin. One person sells to another at an understated price and then they buy themselves further at an understated price.

yes, this semester bitcoin price go down frequently, I am so worried but still hope tomorrow bitcoin price will go up again. Many factors can influence the bitcoin price, and I understanding that bitcoin still struggling in this time.

[xyandrobot]

this is because the hacker who stole btc in one of the largest crypto exchange places in the world. they sell btc for a cheap price.

Many cryptocurrency are being created as time goes by and people`s attention may be focused now on some potential cryptocurrencies that is why instead of investing on bitcoin, people now are into altcoins and the demand for bitcoin are decreasing. So I think this is why the price of bitcoin are rapidly going down.

it's because some country are banning the bitcoin. that's why other country are scared to risk their money in to cryptocurrency.

In my opinion, because of many bad news, rumors and also because of many inexperienced and young investors.
Such people act based on emotions, not logic and sell in panic when they see btc price drop.
Smart investors understand market reality, that sometimes prices going up, sometimes down and they just ''hold'', don't sell.
I think that recently to many people tried to sell, and when you have so many selling, it's inevitably that price will go down.
Supply and demand, very simple.

Pretty much this! You can see up and down swings in every tradable asset, fiat exchanges, oil, gold, stocks... But for example a 10% fall in the stock price of a good company is a "buy the dip" opportunity. A 20% or more is rare when it comes to multinational healthy companies.

But in cryptos, we got inexperienced people and low supply, because of those factors, any short term comment in the media that can be received as negative will trigger a panic sell.

It's really rediculous....

Well there's a lot of negative news about bitcoin that is why many players become panic and they sell their bitcoin but in terms of rapid down of bitcoin I think it is part of the cycle because bitcoin is very volatile.

So I think this is why the price of bitcoin are rapidly going down.

Do you really think that people are dumping their BTC for altcoins? I personally don't think so because if that was the case then we'd see some alts rising in price while Bitcoin is falling. But there's no such thing and what we can see is rather all the alts are going down with BTC together (not right now, because they are rising along with BTC at the moment ). So, I think the reason of price going down is that some people, the whales namely, are selling their coins for fiat, not for other cryptos, to lower the price as much as they can in order to buy coins at low price, as much as they can. If you were right, we would never see Bitcoin rising again, like it is today for example.

[LETme]

There's a lot of negative news that can cause fear to every investor and it cause panic selling, But we need to understand that bitcoin have a character of volatility and its like a double edge sword that we must know the risk and we need a right timing on when to sell and buy.

[Pemburu dollar]

I think the rapid dropping of price is due to some people that until now still selling their bitcoin in low price because they want to cut their losses due to continous fluctuation of the almost all cryptocurrency in the world market.

I think they affect the price we have to keep quiet in bitcoin so we can make sure they will have a great chance today and tomorrow. it's boring but we have to learn about it. The whale is one of the greatest enemies of the crypto holders.
I think because of the bitcoin whales. they manipulate bitcoin fluctuations in other words they have control over bitcoin prices. bitcoin is discarded as it exists. so we have to wait what their next mood is.

[Kamote29]

Currently there are too many people distrust the BTC, they have abandoned the BTC to sell their BTC out of the market, so the current BTC prices go down quite deep. In the coming time, BTC may increase again. So please rest assured.

The main reason is a lot of people are selling their bitcoin , regardless of the main reason of investor why they pulling out their investment , still they are selling their coin, as we all know the demand and supply plays crucial role here in bitcoin , bitcoin is a form of high risk investment , so if an investor sells or pull out it's investment , it will affect the price of a bitcoin , but if you are an investor now , you don't need to be afraid because I am sure bitcoin will rise up .

In my own opinion, people starts selling their bitcoin when the price starts to fall down, that is why it continues to fall down. Also, there are nany countries started to banned bitcoin and there are some false news about it, causes bitcoin's price to decrease.

[lestariptr]

Bitcoin prices dropped dramatically perhaps due to much negative news about bitcoin. Or there are some other factors that we do not know. But do not worry about that. There will be a recovery later this year. So you just have to wait and be patient soon.
