Token price dropping after ICO, why so?

[kanmo]

Its actually not a new thing because some investors don't even care about what they invest in an ICO. Most of the ICO investors dump the bonuses they get during ICO and also decide to drop the tokens they bought at a very ridiculous price.

At the moment, bad time for listing tokens on the exchange , as the market is in bearish trend this contributes to reducing the price of tokens . Another reason may be participants in the bounty of the companies that received their awards and drained them for a minimum price , thereby reducing the cost of the token . And the basic fact that there are projects which are not development of the product , but simply to make manipulation of the price of the token.

after ico, everybody wait to be rich, they wanna sell in that second by 5x 10x  but some people gets them without money, from airdrop, from bounty, from presale by bonuses or just the team of the project, and they start to sell for a low price, and some advisors scare of the price and they sell too, selling decreases the price, easy!

This is due to the fact that the market is going down if the market grew as it was in winter 2017, then the prices for tokens after ICO would also be high, but when the market drops, it is very difficult to keep the price flat at ICO.

I have taken part of some ICOs and everytime their token price goes down after the ICO.. why is that so?


EDIT:
oh, nice.. that was helpful and pretty much what I was looking for.. thanks for sharing

It's just a coincidence mate because market still stagnant which is common reason why ico token price  suddenly drop as well, but don't worry keep holding because soon if the market gain enough strength to stabilize, the token price from that ico will gradually increasing again as well along with bitcoin and other alternative coins in the market just put more patience don't be hasty .

Most of the hunters will dump their rewards, and merely that's how worst ico went on after the successful launch. However, if demand continues to increase around the market it will recover as well.
We need to stay closer to that market and as a trader patience is our keys in order to achieve what dreams we had while we're still on the struggles of crypto right now. Be confident enough and don't lose your grip on crypto.

I think the reasons cannot be fathomed or predicted
Even after delayed listings amongst others
It still dumped merciless on exchanges  and no one has been able to figure a lasting solution

I think once the product is good and functional
The price will rise again

I think it was the bounty hunter or the airdrops which cause of dropping value after Ico. Huge airdrop and hunter will dump ICO value with their payments. On the other hand, the cryptocurrency market is very bearish. It also depends on the Supply and demand of the coin. But Still, it will rise one day And break down the value Of ICO

I think now 99% of the coin price falls after its listing on the stock exchange. especially if the exchange is low liquid. With such depression that is now  on crypto market, in general I don't see sense to small investors to buy during ICO, it is simpler to buy on the exchange. Cheaper.

[kier010]

because there is no demand in the coins. many sell their coins but few are buying so it is no wonder that the price will drop. if no demand on the coins then the project would be the problem. the project could be in development or the project is useless.

[Dragonrage201]

In this weak market, only some hot ICOs gain in price while most others will drop due to bounty hunters selling and profit taking.

I don't think all ico tokens have a case like this Even though for now I see too many ico tokens that have not ideal prices when they first enter the market
it's important to look at their roadmap when we start investing with their tokens and I think it's just a matter of strategy and products that are always not prioritized and prefer to quickly enter the market.

what often happens is when ico is finished but has not yet reached the soft cap, or has reached a soft cap but they hope hard cap. usually if that happens, it will hamper the launching of tokens on exchangers, and if it has been launched, the price will fall very low. I have experienced it once in November 2017.

[GreenAnat]

This is most likely because investors who purchased tokens at the very beginning of the pre-ico as soon as they finished, they start selling them to get their profit. Also, participants in bounty campaigns start selling their tokens or coins. These actions cause the price to fall.

Quality of project and team are questionable these days, many CEO just come up with a white paper and don't even have idea how it will be executed, their integrity are also questionable some have got involved in scam project before those raise eyebrow and affect the price because people are refused to be gullible anymore.

The truth is that people are no longer attaching high value to tokens and a token can only be worth what people value it. The problem lies in the hands of those who sell their tokens for a very low price, they can hold off for a higher price and if the buyers don't meet it they can decide not to sell. But when someone price your good one tenth of what you purchased it and you agree to sell, that has become its value.

Some great posts here, very informative. Thank you everyone!

Many investors do not believe in cryptocurrency, and therefore no longer buy coins on the market, so there are no big jumps on the exchanges yet, but I think it will continue again in a year

Lately, this is exactly what is happening, I think that this is related to ethereum, because the coin has not the best times!

There is no demand, that is easy as a pie. IF trusted altcoins with working product have decreased like 80%, so why should we keep money in just listed coins?
I would better cash out and buy top altcoins
