Poll: Why has prices gone down today (3/7/14)?

[Birdy]

I'm pretty sure this is the reason:

We got the proof that Satoshi is alive (that means he can still sell part of his stash), and also the moving Gox coins thing. But yeah, ultimately, no need to be jumpy about fluctuations of less than 25% in either direction.

[Patel]

I think Satoshi making a statement is a bad thing for Bitcoin. Because he is like a loose-end, especially for big stakeholders.

Its friday retards.

Nobody cares if satoshi has alot of coins.. Now mark on the other hand.. im not sure i have the words to express what people are feeling right now. I got somekind of exchange-fu senses and pulled out from gox like i did with bitfloor, "off a gut feeling". That said im not personally effected by a loss of funds from gox but i think alot of people got an eagle eye on those coins gox is moving right now!

I´m sorry to say Bitcoinsrus, but BITCOIN hates you, I just talked to him.

The voting result after my vote:

• Has something to do with the fact OP panicks every time the price fluctuates more than 20 dollars    - 7 (36.8%)
  
• I'm pretty sure this is the reason: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1zsw1k/while_the_press_is_focused_on_satoshi_180000/ 8 (42.1%)

I'm sure those 180,000 bitcoins didn't got much required attention .

Wasn't the 180,000 coins just BTC-E moving coins back and forth?

Why does this poll have 15 million options?

[frobley]

bitcoin is about to be killed, we all saw the sell signal

[TERA]

Why does this poll have 15 million options?

AND none of the options clearly mentions the 180,000 gox coins moving which is the real reason for today's decline.

And the right answer is:


Typical 50% (for now) retracement of the last leg UP - from $550 to $700 = $150...down $75 to $620-ish...

As simple as it is...NOT everything is NEWS-based in these markets...

That's correct too, but the market tends to look for excuses to conduct the timing of these movements.

Also, if 180,000 coins actually hit the market, it won't be a "news-based" drop, it will be entirely due to the raw technical of an exploding supply - which may override the market's planned movements.
