Israel assassinated 2 Hamas leaders increasing tensions in the Middle-East even further especially when Iran retaliate with support from other arab shitholes that will lead to a market meltdown.
It doesn't seem a great reason to justify the current dump. These guys are being hunted and assassinated all the time. It's more like Bitcoin crashed and news' portals couldn't find any good reason to explain it, so they just used an event which just happened simultaneously to explain the bearish tendency.
Anyway, this dump is very strange. The scenario doesn't look unfavourable for Bitcoin right now... Bitcoin had all the conditions to remain stable around 69,000$ or break the 70,000$ line again.
All things considered, feels pretty good being "ignored", guess I'm not a virgin anymore.

Regarding reasons for dump, it seems like the bulk of the MtGox selling is over, which feels positive.
I sometimes forget this thread is more about Bitcoin promotion and holding rather than "Wall Observer BTC/USD", so when finally sitting on some useful information, didn't even realize it was adding to the FUD when sharing it (assuming that's the reason for the "ignore" part). Will try to remember this going forward.
