Why Bitcoin price is falling?

[STT]

Consider that price isnt the most important thing, its the ongoing usage that is superior.  Imagine price falling is a necessary lubricant to keep interest and volume high enough for the network to continue and this is a higher purpose then the price on any particular day this year.  If we have to fall the whole of 2022 then so be it, celebrate that BTC continues on and is very likely to be able to regain any price lost this year so what is the real harm especially so long as the greater purpose is served.
  People tend to feel BTC is weaker at the lower price, it can be that it stays stronger for that fall and flexibility; its the market purpose which is surpassing price and individual desire for gains.

One of the factors behind the recent decline in bitcoin prices is the Fed's policy of massive interest rate hikes and inflation so that bitcoin prices fell in line with the stock market slump amid concerns about the Fed's aggressive tightening path.

That was basically just FED saying "we printed way too much to keep you surviving during pandemic, now bring it back" and nothing more. It is a good move, high interest means that you get to remove a ton of money from the circulation, and that makes the leftovers a lot more valuable since it is rarer.

However, it is not enough, they needed to increase it a bit more, it worked for them, but not enough at all, they still need to make it better just a bit more. This will cause recession, it is calling out already, people will not be able to earn much, and rich will not invest to make money anymore just use interest, hence poor will not have any money to earn.

Many experts believe that the current correction is temporary, but if it has happened more than 7 months then I think we will enter bearish for a long time, I believe the market will be difficult to pass ATH this year and this is what makes me prefer daily trade rather than hold for the long term.

Everyone has the choice to make long term investment decisions or take small profits every day. If you like short things and have plenty of time to do them. then it is very best for you. All someone's plans will be good according to them.

It is our money so we will decide which strategy to conduct , though  in the past ? i use these both m I sometimes go for short term and mostly Long term but those brings me profit in same areas.
and nowadays ? i managed to stay in one line and that is Holding , and this is safer mate ? and also much reasonable to do than daily basis .

That's your choice, no one can forbid what you want. If you have a lot of money to invest long and short term then do it. I like people who have a supply of funds that they can make two choices because it is different from some people who are not as lucky as you. There are some people who expect small but big bats to them.

I have to say that its not going to be easy for us to get back to regular prices because its not hyped up right now. We need to find a reason to be hyped before we get to decide anything first. It could be some nation doing some major investment again, it could be some companies, at some point everything becomes a good news for us, during the bull run if there is even a bird chirping sounds similar to bitcoin that becomes a reason to buy some more, but we need the public to be hyped about it no matter what, that would be a lot better.

Because you aren't buying  

Actually, people are pathetic. They say it's high right now don't buy it but when it's already decreased by more than 50% they still got the lines but they wouldn't buy because it will nosedive at its finest. When will others get learn in this market?

Exactly, this isn't the time to optimize your buys.
Once this sucker goes 100k+ you want to be onboard and that extra 10-20% will be irrelevant.

Most of these suckers will wake up one day after Bitcoin shoots up 20k and they will be waiting for it to come down again which it won't.

I have been thinking of the possible reasons of the bitcoin falling down. Since I am not an expert on the Currency I cannot predict or give any reason. That is why I want to know the reasons. Please if anyone can tell me I will appreciate. Thanks.

Bitcoin has fallen, according to Technical Analysis, indeed the price has reached new ATH and it must undergo a correction,
otherwise there will be a bubble like 2017-2018, where experts say BItcoin is a bubble, but now Bitcoin is only experiencing a correction,
I'm sure because 2017- 2018 is very different from 2022

This is indeed the cycle. Bitcoin has never been a bubble.

Yeah, it is the technology that people should be going at for btc because this was being introduced to us by the founder and by that, we should not care if the price is falling or is rising because a btc will always be btc. This is what makes btc superior and that superiority won't be tarnished anymore no matter what happens with the market.

Those who have interest when the price falls are mainly the investors or the people that don't use their btc as a currency but as an asset to possibly make a profit while a fall in the price can also lead for someone to lose interest in bitcoin especially now that we are seem to be stuck on this situation.

Because you aren't buying 

Some people are buying, theres always at a few buying.   Most people buy to use it rather speculate is my idea of what drives markets but if we remain in the shadow of  prior over speculation then you got an imbalance and so bias negatively.   Problem is there is too many willing sellers, at some price they dont want to sell at all and mining is restricted so in theory the market is not so loose as the older days of constant supply available

This bear market will surely wipeout these paper hands and it will be just quick I guess. I think we're nearing on that capitulation level and this will be epic for them that they'll just wonder and asked "why?". Still having the thoughts that it will shoot up one day to $100k and that's I firmly believe. DCA'ing to my buy zones as always and saving my sats.

Panic sells and huge manipulation by Whales are the main reasons for the price to be at bottom now. New traders and those who have bought Bitcoin much costlier, tend to sell now for either a small profit or to get out before they loose much. Whales do play a main role now in current long correction. There might be other reason but yes before the value goes up, better to buy more coins if possible.

[snipie]

The fall in price can be connected with the following

• Record high inflation.
• Increased interest rate.
• Traditional market failure.
• Oil crisis out of war.
• Food shortage around the world.
• Next wave of covid-19.

This is applicable for all FIAT, cryptocurrencies, gold...etc but the biggest impact was on cryptocurrencies unfortunately. Although the market value of Bitcoin decreased a lot but the inflation rate on USA and other countries was big also which should impact FIAT, what I find weird is the illogical ratio between BTC/$. Besides, there isn't a stability between each step! It is like a free fall, without any kind of resistance and everyday? That big? Nothing could explain that except a pure manipulation from a consortium of big whales imo.

Whales game is part of the market manipulation. Beyond that there'll be other factors that make the market experience the decline. In my understanding Whales try to shatter and profit, next thing the cryptocurrency market have been into coexistence with the traditional market. This makes the real world impact over the cryptomarket, because in the past the cryptocurrency market looks independent as there is no external impact.

[Wilhelm]

How long this bear market can last? I see that inflation probably affects the market significantly but does it make the most impact on this decline? I doubt. Or maybe I fear to believe since I don't see an improvement in the situation shortly. I'm doom scrolling feeds like this and I can't picture the whole situation. I've always thought that the market has more potential for growth since it's recognized as an alternative to conventional finance systems. I believed the falling of one will contribute to the growth of another. Not a thing.

You are new here.
Hold tight we are nearly through this storm.

In my opinion the bottom is in. You will see a slow climb in the next months and then make new ATH in about 200 days.

This is my expectation but it's Bitcoin so be prepared to wait 4 years for good profits...

[kesmex]

Bitcoin is down indeed because it's time for bears to take over the market,
this has been around since Bitcoin and crypto exchanges appeared, even in the stock market too,
Bears and Bulls will always be there, so don't worry about Bitcoin going down,
the important thing is that the bulls will also come after the bears.

[ShowOff]

Trading activity will allow the price to occur in both directions regardless of whether it is slowly rising or falling. The market fluctuations have made the price fluctuate in a short period of time, so if they believe in a good potential in the future then I think they should stay on their target.

In my opinion the bottom is in. You will see a slow climb in the next months and then make new ATH in about 200 days.

Ups and downs are always possible, but about ATH in the next 200 days it's uncertain. So if they want to invest then they should do it after considering the risks and doing it for how much money they can afford to lose.

This is my expectation but it's Bitcoin so be prepared to wait 4 years for good profits...

I definitely believe in this potential, so we have to be patient now.

[Semar Mesem]

There are many reasons that make bitcoin prices fall, but based on expert analysis that the biggest factor is inflation in the USA and Europe which makes investors need cash to pay debts or cover needs, but the good news is that if inflation ends then the market will rise again, so with this condition as it is now then buying more is a good thing.

[mattujusuruga]

In my opinion, the cause of the recent decline in bitcoin prices is due to the liquidation of cryptocurrency by many people and at the same time causing negative sentiment in the market. In addition, the sharp tightening of monetary policy carried out by the FED has weighed on the crypto market so that its effect on large institutional investors is doing a massive sell-off.
