Why Bitcoin so down

Why Bitcoin came so low in 2018 january to march

Not really low. Compare last years January - March and you'll see if bitcoin did really became low from that time up until now.

All the guess people were saying that Bitcoin would touch 25k$ but why did not it happen ?

What are you expecting? Bitcoin will become $25,000 as they said? It's not a hocus pocus that will just turn as they said. Bitcoin is a market that has a lot of ups and downs and is playing just like a roller coaster so basically due to many factors, it can't happen in an instant manner.

many of the news that smelled negative elements or FUD continues to grow. bitcoin As Soon As Possible returns to a higher price level, 2018 will keep touching the $ 25k price. in april we will soon take off to the next level. IMO in april there will be no more such a heavy drop now.

People were guessing, just because they said that BTC was going to reach $25k doesn't mean that it would actually happen. Markets are extremely volatile, especially in times when pumps were as frequent as back in 2017.

I think that most of it is just natural volatility of bitcoin and the natural cycles in price. BTC had a huge year in 2017 and 2018 was just the time to correct, and that would have happened sooner or later. A bit like 2014, although we have much more long term holders and a lot more adopters this time round with a more mature market.

The catalyst is the negative media coverage on BTC, I guess. Everything was positive in 2017, and suddenly turned negative in 2018, some of which led to some panic dumps which caused BTC to go down.

If you're a long term holder, this shouldn't bother you. This will not impact on BTC's long term profitability as an investment, you may actually load up on some cheap coin while you're at it.

The same media who told you to buy at the top (20k) are now trying to get you to sell at the bottom. If you do the opposite of what the media tells you, you'll be rich.

   Lontonbit your comment is great. Creator of this topic is asking
a silly question that is asked so many times before. You comment
is not just an answer on this question, it is an answer for many life
decisions we need to make. Do the opposite and trust in opposite
from what media tell`s you and you will not be only a rich, you will
be happy.
   It is just a manipulation supported by the media. Bitcoin will cost
more in the future if demand goes up. With rising awareness of
crypto-currencies in the world that will happen. Bitcoin as the number
one will benefit more then other crypto-currencies.

It is cryptocurrency so both positive and negative thoughts are comes in the market. I saw past three years chart in Coinmarketcap this was fluctuating first four months after it will raise gradually so I hope this make huge pump in the market. But peoples are expecting quick money in the world so some fluctuations are happen in the crypto market.

well, for those who expect very fast money will be frustrated when the target is not reached, especially when the bitcoin price falls. well, I think a lot of that causes it, so we have to be prepared with all the possible risks.

Because it's normal market cycle condition. March was always a bad period for crypto if you track the history.

It will come to 25k$ this year or next year doesn't matter. The only thing which matters is whether you believe in crypto economy or no. Whether you with crypto community or you are "regular folk"

exactly my brother! March is always bad if viewed from history, this can be called with the annual tradition. when we cut it out the useless or spread the FUD, we will focus in april until the end of the year. I always believe that in 2018 the price will touch at the $ 25,000 number. do not worry about the current situation, we will soon pass through a large wall that blocks the rate of its bitcoin price.

Whales try to shake some bitcoins out of weak hands before the pump. Hold strong!

I think because so much of the negative news or FUD is happening on bitcoin now, and obviously this will affect the bitcoin price that keeps going down.
In March the bitcoin decline was not too low when compared to early February which was the worst drop in bitcoin by 2018.
I remain optimistic and continue to hold bitcoin, because that's the way we need to do now to wait for the price to recover.
Don't panic to sell your bitcoin, keep holding.

probably because of some of these factors the bitcoin price is so low in 2018.
First, Bitcoin Volume Is Still A Little.
What determines is the law of supply and demand. That is, If many users make a purchase, then the bitcoin price will rise, and vice versa.
second, the influence of Bitcoin Trading.
Keep in mind the number of bitcoin users who use bitcoin as a trading asset more than those who actually use it as a medium of exchange.
thirdly, its a lot of Bad News About Bitcoin.
News is one of the factors that can significantly influence the bitcoin price changes.
fourth, Bitcoin Investment Scams often occur.
The large number of fraudulent investments that use bitcoin currencies keeps the bitcoin price down significantly.
in my opinion 2018 we will keep touching the price at a high level because, Bitcoin Price in Design To Be More Expensive As Time Passes and Support Of Other Crypto.

It's because there isn't any new money coming in.

Last year, people saw the price climbing and thought, this is easy money, I'll buy and double my investment. Now that has more than halved from it's ATH, instead of saying, "bargain", they're saying, "oh noes, the price may go down even further and I'll lose my investment". So they hold back.

We have to wait till all the sellers are exhausted before the price starts climbing again.

poor performance at the beginning of the year has had an effect on bitcoin to date. There are several support factors regarding current prices and reducing one's interest in investing in bitcoin. FUD could be a very influential factor in the current price trend. This is very common in the crypto world.

[Hazir]

We never really shaken all this recent bad news and FUD. That is why trading is still jitter in the global markets, leading to selloffs.
And at the same time, regulatory issues in Japan are keeping traders and potential investors on edge so we don't really have an influx of new blood into BTC.
Statistically speaking March was never been a good month for cryptocurrency, so I expect some serious upward movement in the second half of 2018.

[Kidmat]

Bitcoin so down because of so many unfavorable impression, bad news that really affects the value in the market. So many guess about the bitcoin price but it takes time to reach the price. Fuds always happen so there are many reasons why bitcoin so down.

All the crypto currencies are depends on the investors But currently it is reduced in the crypto market. So Bitcoin is constantly fluctuating in 8k USD to 9k USD in past three days. It is not a permanent issue because every year crypto platform is increase and decrease in the market. So we must keep calm in the market automatically Bitcoin is going to moon.

It was very simple we were in the middle of a huge bubble and when that happens you need an infinite amount of money to keep the price rising when that money ran out then the price began to crash, people panicked and the rest is history, this is simple economics, second I will not rely a lot in the predictions of some people, they love to throw some wild numbers that will never be reached in the timeframe they established.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

They will say 'the price of bitcoin is unpredictable' no one can predict with accurate if they try to predict. Well, I'm new in this cryptoworld I don't know what happen in month january till march in year before. But, this decline price it would be happen in every month if some bad information come. Like this time, twitter, facebook, google and mt.gox is the reason why the price bitcoin fall. I'm sure if in the next month information come is bad than the price will continue to decline and otherwise. So my conclusion is the fall bitcoin price is not about month like you say january till march, but the price will fall if bad information came.
