Market panic is sometime triggered by speculation and FUD or Fear Uncertainty and Doubt. Definitely it can affect the the trading price. Some are misinformed or having no time to verify such reports and just follow  what others are doing like herd mentality.

But for an informed trader they might see an opportunity in this situation.  Grin
Certainly, as you have known already how does a market goes through, you wouldn't take the negative situation in market but you would take it as an opportunity itself. Being uncertain always end up with regrets hence a trader must really understand how does the market flow so that in every decision he is going to make, he wouldn't doubt of it anymore which are more likely to end up positively.
Those negative situations in the market can be a opportunity for those traders know how the market works. If you are a trader that knows how the market works then you probably take advantage of that negative situation to spread it and help the market price to go down a little bit and then you will go in and buys a lot and just wait for the price to pump again. That is how the game works and if you don't get used to that you will be a loser with full of regrets.
Yes market will always get us opportunities to make use of. But we need to be clear how we are going to exactly availing those opportunities. One simple click here everyone must need to follow is not going "all" at one time.

When market shows negative situations we should invest only 10% and keep the rest for another situation. Market may bounce back from that situation or go for another negative situation, we need to invest there again so that we will get better average buying prices. This will ensure you will not get struck with big losses at any time, but profits will be same or even better in many scenarios.
Yes when we saw a market that is falling down or having experience of a low price or dumping stage then it is safe to just invest a few of our money to test the market if it is going to go further or it will pump again and recover its price. In my opinion, buying regularly even the price is low is a good idea like buying altcoins or bitcoins stock every week is a good idea because it will enable us to buy at an average weekly price and not on just one time buy.

I choose to buy when the price drops which goes along with the philosophy of "buy low sell high". Some people sell when the price drops. This could be a panic sell or they could be trying to time a buy back in at the bottom. Either way, if someone is selling low then it gives me the opportunity to buy low.

Panic is always bad for any market, it doesnt matter at all if it is gold, or currency pair, or even cryptocurrency.
In the times when events are unpredictable, trading is always a harded task than usual.
News can make panic too and also big price surges- upside or down, that depends what events we witness.

I can compare it to the medieval times.
Back then, merchants were in danger of losing their funds or part of them during regular working day, just because of the war, and soldiers confiscating their goods.

During the war, traveling  is a risk too, every simple task is much harder to finish.

The same is with panic or important events. In most cases you cannot predict what will happen.

Market panic can impact the price of bitcoin negatively but bitcoin has a strong foundation for recovering back. My experience in trading has thought me some lessons, one of the lesson is identified market trends and trade along the trends until the market is extremely over bought or over sold. Coin may be felling recently because of panic but market outlook for bitcoin is very positive and that is what matters.
Yes i have a same thought like both of you. Dropping bitcoin price can be lead by the market panic of the community. Because the demand and the stock of bitcoin will change in a high or rapid increased so it may hard for its price to increase. But like as you said bitcoin is has a strong foundation or what other people say as the support of the community of bitcoin which uses bitcoin as form of their daily basis. So it depends on how the bitcoin itself manage the problem for the price to not drop.

Market panic or panic selling is one of the most common reason why the prices of bitcoin is falling down, Example is the threat of having another bitcoin which is bitcoin unlimited, a lot of people talks bad rumors to bitcoin when the hard fork is going on and it makes the market of bitcoin fall down and have a low price but now it is start to pump because of the good news which is the adoption of Japan to bitcoin.
Certainly panic selling affects bitcoin price. However, there should nothing to worry since the foundation of bitcoin is strong enough for it to survive in volitality. Remember the price of bitcoin way back 2015 wherein it drops into $230. Everybody thinks that bitcoin could not survive that time but bitcoin proves that they are wrong. Currently, bitcoin's rate is $1200 which can increase anytime rapidly.

The Bitcoin price seems to be going higher and the altcoin prices are dropping. Investors appear to be moving money from altcoins back to Bitcoin at least for now.
Actually, as bitcoin's price is currently increasing, traders would actually tend to hold their bitcoin to sell or sell now for altcoins. If bitcoin  drops down, that's the time they are more likely to sell their altcoins in order to get more quantity of bitcoin.

I agree that many users have paniced recently and that their behaviour could influence the market. But it seems that this panic has stopped a bit and that their overall share in the market behaviour is not that big they could influence it significantly. But I'm a little afraid how big players on the market will behave in the next period, that could be crucial.

That's the whole point, we don't know what they plan to do. That's why you should be preparing for whatever happens in the way that you have enough coins for when the price goes up, and enough fiat for when the price goes down. If that's all set up well, then you're ready for whatever is going to happen. For now I don't expect much difference with how the price has behaving last days as the market seems calm now. I like this "stability".
When there is stability, I always think of that as the best moment to buy some bitcoin to hold for some time and wait for the next bubble and get some nice profits in a short amount of time.
Panic traders are the driver of bitcoin pricing!

It does for certain, however it is rather an opportunity for smart traders since they know for a fact that bitcoin will bounce back up again in terms of prices. This has happened many times now for bitcoin but it still managed to come back and gain even more.

I know we are currently seeing the fall of  coin prices, and many of us may think to get out while the getting is good. Well if you need the money, I guess that is understandable. However if your in it for the investment, and you can hold your ancie  pants together  during the drop. I don't need a chart to tell you that Bitcoin is on a continuing upward trend, in spite of coin price drops.
 Panicking and selling off not only hurts your longterm investment, but breaks the market down also. I know speculators that just made hefty purchases at high prices are losing,

 Don't panic there is a way to recover the loss

 You can sell your coin at 5% over Spot, take that money and repurchase coin at 5% under spot and resell. This way you do not lose your profit, you continue to accumulate coin and increase your holdings without purchasing more coin.

Because Bitcoin will continue to move upward in spite of a few downward spikes, you can't lose.

Try to convert business to accepting coin, inform them of BTC virtues, Security ( from Robbery ), Customers pay BTC fees, Goodbye to Credit, debit and Paypal fees for businesses, and it is quicker and easier than using plastic. Most important, this money will actually increase in value if saved, and can be used to generate even more income through the sale of the currency. You can't do that with American Dollars.

Look at these recent events

Japan accepts Bitcoin as legal tender

Uganda First African Nation to Accept Bitcoin as Legal Tender

Yes,thats what happened two weeks before due to BU issue and fear of hard fork.But now, price has recovered.Panic selling is mostly done by newbies.

It has been rising for the last 24 hours and finally broke $900 which I found it never would for the last week. Just teedering along that line but once it broke it has been rising.
Just saw it at 911 Shocked after the president elect got into office which is a weird sign in it's self from bitcoin to where it is sitting at now at 914.
So all is looking good for the time being for the march of bitcoin.
Like the rally of women against the tyrant trump that took place yesterday. Cheesy

I have made most of my money on the fear of others. It really is my main strategy. Buy when there is "blood in the streets", sell when everyone is celebrating a rally.  Wink

 Buy when there is "blood in the streets", sell when everyone is celebrating a rally.  What do you mean by this quote? sorry if I don't understand, for me its so deep. Maybe only a little bit of it I got the point, but not so sure. Can you briefly specify on this, if is it okay with you.
These are all about "possible U turn" in trading sentiment.
At the end of every heavy sell off, prices will bounce back. Similarly when traders start celebrating their profits they will start profit booking, it means prices start falling down.

This is one of basic trading strategy which will work on extreme market conditions.

That's why you need to plan one step further apart from any other traders out there because you don't want to be left holding the bag for yourself when everyone else threw theirs away. For crazy price rises like the one we had for some weeks ago, you should be observant of every single detail you see in the market because that might be a hint or an indication that prices would soon start falling down.

Also, another rule in trading: don't daydream and don't get too greedy.

all i can do is buy some bitcoin in stable price and ofcourse in low price. I dont think i will buy coin when it price more than $1000
I think it is all depends how you analyze the market.. i think many people also are buying when the price was hit $1000 before but it doesn't mean that you will you can be still hold it your bitcoin when you buy $1000 and buy new bitcoins and separate it from below $1000 so that you can know if what bitcoin is you bought with the $1000 and bought bitcoin with below $1000 so that you can sell bitcoin if the price was hit high price.. set the margin of every separated bitcoin so that you can not lose. we all don't know what will happen but we should always do some wise decision before we sell or buy..
