I knew MATIC would dump. The price increased by over 300% in the last 2 months. Crypto Twitter moonboys got on board and bought the top. Most of my friends were cut pants down due to the flash crash. Anybody who didn't use a trailing stop during the pump should be bitter now. Aside from MATIC, Other Binance Launchpad tokens dumped more than 15%. I'm not surprised as they all did at least 50% recently. Bitcoin is volatility, with alts, It's even higher.
It wasn't surprising at all knowing the price pumped 300% in the past months, what would you expect to happen on the price? Altcoins does not do so much, in fact the 300% pump is a fortunate event on altcoin these days it maybe came from the whales on that community that plays along with the small ones. Actually it is not just the MATIC that dumped, many altcoins dumped too due to the seasonal changes keep in mind that it is December, people needs money for some reason.
The dump wasn't that unusual, just the speed of it kind of was. Typically when coins dump like half their value, it tends to at least take a couple of days or a week or so. At least for coins with any real volume, dinky alts can pump 3x and crash 3x in like an afternoon.
I just hope we don't see another bear (or super-bear, I guess, as we are already pretty bearish) market due to IEOs all crumbling to pieces, dragging down the entire market even further.
