Topic: [2018-06-11]Bitcoin Price Fell 11% in 24 Hours (Read 116 times)
The market is still very fragile, so prices instantly react in the slightest speculations. This is seriously damaging to the trust in Crypto. On the other hand, market needs to be free from speculators and manipulators immediately. Otherwise we will see much worse days.
So, "most analysts" said that it was due to some small exchange with low volume being hacked, and those who don't agree are going with the usual TA mumbo jumbo: "it fell because the downtrend is too strong". Perfect! It all makes sense now 
In reality when the price is struggling to go up there's always a group that tries to influence a sudden move to see if they can buy at the lowest point and instantly make some money. Comparing this to 2013 is pointless as nothing is really the same, the prices, the dates of downward moves. If you stretch one chart enough you can make it look however you like so that it fits the other one and confirm your point.

What Triggered the Fall and What Lies Ahead?
Many analysts and mainstream media outlets including Bloomberg and WSJ have attributed the recent decline in the bitcoin price from $7,500 to $6,700 to the hacking attack suffered by Coinrail, a minor cryptocurrency exchange in South Korea. However, the reasoning behind the attribution of the latest correction to Coinrail is incorrect, given that Coinrail is a small exchange with a low daily trading volume used by a small portion of investors in South Korea. Bithumb, UPbit, and Korbit remain as the three biggest cryptocurrency trading platforms in South Korea, and Coinrail is not considered as a major exchange. Analysts tend to apply any negative event or news to justify the price drop in bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency market because for general readers and investors, it is difficult to accept the fact that the market moves based on supply and demand, and that the price of bitcoin has fallen by such a large margin overnight without a solid trigger. $6,700 Isn’t New For many weeks, prominent analysts and cryptocurrency researchers including Willy Woo have emphasized that the downward trend of bitcoin is simply too strong to be influenced by positive Relative Strength Index (RSI) and moving averages. In late May, Woo noted that it is likely for bitcoin to experience a slow bleed out to the higher end of the $6,000 region and eventually make its way down to $5,700. Woo explained: “So in summary my best guess is slowish bleed down to $6,800, then a steeper slide to $5,700, then a levelling out of the drop. then a flat zone. This is an educated guess based on volume profile and fundamental data framing the rate of movement.” He further emphasized that the price movement of bitcoin is nearly identical to its correction in 2014, the biggest correction in its history. If the chart of bitcoin from 2014 and mid-2018 are placed side by side, price movements seem unrealistically similar. “This is like 2014 but Y-axis is just 20x. In some ways the markets are more reliable to forecast in 2018 than in 2014. Data on fundamentals should map more reliably to price as we ain’t in the early phase of a few whales randomly pushing things around anymore,” added Woo. The price movement of bitcoin in mid-2018 is similar to the 2014 correction because both periods suffered a correction triggered by retail investors or individual traders. While major financial institutions such as NASDAQ, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Morgan Stanley have announced their entrance into the cryptocurrency sector and the demand from institutional investors have increased significantly, the amount of capital coming from institutional investors currently in the cryptocurrency sector is close to zero.
