What might be the reason for the bitcoin price dropping from $ 20,000 to the present price? What do you think about?

Observing the performance of bitcoin during the years 2015-2016, it is evident that a large speculative bubble was the one that led the bitcoin to such an absolutely atypical performance throughout 2017. In fact I still believe that the current price, close to $10,000, seems a bit above what organic growth would imply, since a growth guided by a more "rational" market would have the price of bitcoin not higher than $5,000.

What I think is a good thing from bitcoin, there's going to be an increase in prices to take everyone's moments to buy when bitcoin goes down, and sure everyone will get double folds with their purchase when bitcoin prices are so cheap, so why do today's bitcoin price welds drop drastically , to take the square off so bitcoin can go up in an instant ...

TLDR: We got too far off of moving averages and whales/institutional money quit participating and only sold.. when it tipped over.. they didn't come to help or save it to buy lower.

The real reason is captured in chart fundamental analysis...

What happens with any stock or coin is you start to move away from institutional money (way off of the moving averages, 50 day, 100 day, 200 day on daily charts) and you're only relying on new money to prop you up.  Institutional money doesn't go chasing new highs, they know its safer investments to trade within what is tried and tested waters and don't want to participate at all (except to sell).  New buyers carry the fomo but the fumes will eventually burnout and when it tips over it has nowhere to fall to.

Its also why you want slow growth on something.. when something slowly grows you grind out major support/resistance areas that need to be tested for investors to decide whether its the right time to buy or sell.  When you go on a huge runup and it eventually tips over based off of bears winning out with larger institutional players taking profit or whales move over to USDT.. you have nowhere to safely fall to.. so when the panic or fud sets in.. institutional players STILL don't participate to get it at a lower price, new investors fun into panic selling, and you pile that with larger players taking positions to short.

Alot of people confuse oppurtunity as panic.. its not that large players have no interest in participating in bitcoin in the 8000-10000 range, the question should be why would they if they can buy it cheaper?

Lots of times the news/fud has very little to do with price dropping.. its mainly people reacting to the price changing then looking for a reason to attach to why the price is dropping as a justification (its just hard to accept that the market's being manipulated in something they love when it for sure is).

My biggest concern is when predicting the ceiling (someone who hodls and doesn't participate in the position trades) is what "can" it reach?  If you can make something go from 5k to 20k back to 5k back to 20k.. would you really be interested in seeing it go to 100k?  Thats really the biggest question here, is what play will give the institutional players/whales in this space the most money.. and I'm just not overly convinced that going straight to 6 figures is the right answer.

Anyways, just my 2 cents.

There was a big speculations that when bitcoin future contract (CME and CBoE) coming into the picture, the price could go higher than $20K. However, its not the cases, because the price suddenly plunges to $6K. And those that bought bitcoin at the top price decided to sell because they think that bitcoin will continue to go down, they all got burned in the process. And then there's the FUD and governments regulating/banning bitcoin and cryptos.

Panic sellers,ofcourse if they saw the peak price almost all users will be tempted to sell at that rate and eventually going lower than 20k.Its just a normal situation if people are continuesly selling their coins making sell orders low because of too many small buy order

Actually it’s not falling, it’s just a fear of loosing bitcoin, as we know 68 Million dollars valued bitcoin was hacked on December 2017.
So, investors had transferred  their investment in to the other currencies like ETH, BCH and SBD.
But now they have realized that they have made a mistake and returned to invest in bitcoin again
