Nobody can say it's all just speculation. I guess lots of people are just selling and people are taking advantage of the cheap price.

The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued an advisory on bitcoin, which led to some weakness last week. That seems to have been a trigger. After that, it has been downhill all the way.

Market price is determined by demand and supply, and the price drop happens simply because we have a lot of sell orders now. We can't be sure where the sell orders come from. They could be from some big whales manipulating the market, or panic-sellers, or someone with insider information or blah blah blah.

Look at the price history, it's nothing new, it's always been volatile and subject to the whims of the whales. This will change as more capital comes in but swings are to be expected.
Soon, capitulation, blood in the streets, then the next bubble. Should be fun.

It has been 9 months since the last bubble... Too long. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

The market cap of Bitcoin is so small tha tone person can literally decide to dump (or buy) and control the price, temporarily. So it's no surprise it can go up or down fast. If there's no reason you can either assume it's just someone wanting to manipulate the price or sell their coin for fiat, or there's always the chance they know something you don't...

Bitcoin will go down until the day after you lose all hope. Then it will go up until you forget that it ever went down. Then it will immediately go down again until just after you lose all hope. The best advice is to buy is much as you are comfortable losing and convince yourself that it is already lost. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I believe the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's release on Bitcoin had no significant impact on the price drop because prior to that issuance the price was already heading downstream so its just due to people with holding their btc's with the intention of a possible rise in future for higher profits..

I have read on the forum that the recent drop was caused by the coins sold by Ethereum devs.

The news you may have missed is that bitcoin is a true free market. That means it drops and rises dramatically and suddenly. It regularly looses %60 of it's value, or it may triple in value in a month.
