I think it definitely affects overall prices.. But hard to calculate you know. Muslims love to share money in eid mubarak days to kids and family members, some coiners could sell to give money to their families so.

A week ahead of the end of Ramadan, the value of 1 bitcoin is still above 7000 thousand USD, but closer to Ied Mubarak, bitcoin value continues to fall close to 6000 USD?

For those who know and analyze, please explain the factor?

Eid Mubarak doesn't matter at all, what matters is when Eid Mubarak himself ends, where most Asian people take advantage of the moment with a vacation somewhere where he likes. Like a walk, visiting the closest relatives, even the far away ones, at that time usually almost a lot of people, users and investors are monetizing their coins to cover their financial needs.

This is another direction to look at things because this period would surely affect businesses both positive and negative especially Muslims. Alcohol businesses, bars, casinos would surely take a hit whereas fruit businesses, groceries would see huge improvement in their businesses. The effect on bitcoin is not something huge enough because it has already been regarded as against Islamic teachings until recently when I read some article in support so maybe because the message has not spread that bitcoin is not against Islam, Muslims decides to stay away for now.

I don't think it is possible that Eid Mubarak has an affect in the price of Bitcoin since those who celebrate Eid Mubarak are those who are lives in Muslim countries or there's a community for Muslim's. If there's an affect, it might not be that big as some of us are expecting. I have office mates who are Muslim and before Eid Mubarak, they sold some of their appliances to celebrate the event. Affect maybe just minimal.

Not so sure that they sell it for that alone where the impact that currently occurs exceeds one's expectations, I think the celebration of Eid does not make the price worse like this, because I see many celebrations do not use too much money, but only partly not for the pride of the Muslims, the current decline is just a big man game that wants to manipulate the market in order to buy back at a cheaper price, I'm sure of it.

May be this is one of the reason for dip in price for Bitcoin but not aware of the real reason. The countries adopted Bitcoin as legal tender for crypto is few Muslim countries compared with other major countries but persons involved in it are mostly from those religion I hope. But there is no specific data point to support this but just a guess may be.

I don't even know what Eid Mubarak is apart from what I just read in this thread, and I've never heard whatever it is discussed in the context of bitcoin before--so no, I don't think it has any effect on bitcoin.  I realize Muslims make up a big proportion of the world's population, but I'm pretty sure religion doesn't affect the price that much, if at all.

These questions of "Does X affect bitcoin price" are really candidates for econometric studies.  There are probably some folks at academic institutions who've worked on correlating bitcoin's price to different variables, but I've never seen the results anywhere. 

I know there are econometrics software packages that have various economic data that can be used to find correlations, and it'd be great if someone on this forum had such software to answer these questions.  Somehow I suspect that these questions are just going to keep getting asked, and people (including me) are just going to keep guessing at the answers.

I think there are many factors that affect the value of bitcoin and maybe it is Eid Mubarak that makes a lot of people sell so it will make the price becomes more and more down
Yes a lot of factors contributes affecting the bitcoin value to drops down. But I do not think Eid Mubarak is one of it, people panic selling and lack of adaptions comes out that price is down.

eid mubarak and bitcoin prices have absolutely nothing to do, no factors need to be explained. do not because you panic see bitcoin price down, you can assume just like that, man. I emphasize once again, eid mubarak has nothing to do, nothing to do with the price down. in my opinion, its down this price has become an annual tradition.

I think the effect is not too big, because it is before eid mubarak Muslims who have Bitcoin will sell their assets for the preparation of the holiday and it's just natural not just a bitcoin even many who sell gold for it.

Eid Mubarak?  If Eid is Mubarak then it should not have affected the price adversely . Rather it should have pushed up the prices. 
I think some festival can not be the reason for bitcoin price fluctuation. If Muslims are doing all other business presently  it is not believable that they may have given up BTC business thereby price fall.
has nothing to do with the celebration of religious holidays of any religion because of the use of bitcoin to open the majority of the Islamic religion that it uses so this has nothing to do at all probably just coincides with Idul Fitri holidays the price of bitcoin decreases so it can be linked to this.

Everything is right, but price fluctuation is not depends on RAMZAN because this week only big dump in the market. May be after RAMZAN this will raise in the market everyone accept your point but current dip is unpredictable because many rumors are spread in the market. So exact information is still analyse in many experts

I don't think that this current Bitcoin price falls has something to do with the Ramadan activity because most of our muslim brothers did not go on spending just to celebrate their day but they just focus on fasting while praying to their god so meaning they spend less on this celebration but maybe after the date they will do lot of spending but you must think that Bitcoin price already falls since Jan so i think they really have nothing to do about this current market performance.

A small impact can be experienced as people from Russia will be making use of their bitcoin holding for the celebration. Other than Russia very few Muslim people can be found around different countries of the world using bitcoin. More the usage hasn't been attained till date, which is a must for sustained growth.

Well it can be possible that Upcoming Eid affecting Bitcoin value. May be some big holders of Muslim rich countries like Dubai, Saudi arabia throwing a million budget party for the festival or buying Lamborghini as a gift so they are selling bitcoin. Otherwise there is no reason that Eid festival can affect bitcoin market.

LOL it is funny how the minds of some people work.
why would a billionaire who throws million dollar parties need to sell bitcoin to  cover the costs? is he bankrupt that he has to liquidate assets to cover the costs?

Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, UAE and others, is it still not called influential?
No. How many people in those countries are using Bitcoin? Also, I doubt they store their savings for these celebrations in Bitcoin either. It's a bad idea to keep your savings for these events in volatile assets like Bitcoin.

it is not about whether they have bitcoin or how many of them do, it is about whether people are going to sell in situations like this. which i say NO, people don't sell their investments for a holiday! specially a long term investment like bitcoin.

Do you think Muslims are selling their Bitcoin to celebrate the Eid Mubarak? I don't think that's the case. Do you find any correlation between Eid Mubarak and price decline in the last few years? Even IF there's a correlation, it doesn't always means causation. I doubt there's a correlation in the first place though Cheesy

In general, I don't think any celebration like Eid Mubarak, Christmas, etc. affect the price at all. Markets don't care about that it seems.

By the way, Happy Eid Mubarak!

I don't see any strong relations between eid mubarak and the price of Bitcoin. If you look at the previous prices on June of 2017 you could see the price was so stable at that time. Few months back I remember some are talking about the Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day heavily affecting Bitcoin prices. You shouldn't worry too much about holidays affecting the price it's most likely a coincidence.

I don't think that will be a factor for bitcoin prize get up or down but, even it does not affect FIFA world cup is coming soon and that should be a key factor.

Maybe yes or no because they have muslim investing in bitcoin and they have user too. What if during Eid Mubarak did not use bitcoin the their hold their bitcoin so maybe it will not happen but if the muslim sell their bitcoin because of that event maybe the price decrease. But if they have effect to the value of the bitcoin I think it's only a little and not affect to us big.
