What factors can cause major fluctuations of Ethereum price? and how it will impact other ethereum blockchain based tokens/coins?
The fluctuations was a natural thing in cryptocurrency but its bigger pumps and dumps is influenced by whole market or bitcoin. News also is another factor of ethereum fluctuations, and in the ethereum tokens underneath is only affected on the conversion rate of ethereum and no t directly with their respective price if ethereum dumps or pumps.

I believe news is the main factor that cause ETH price to fluctuate, it apply to the rest of the coins as well. Good news bring the price up since investors have more confidence in the project. Likewise, bad news bring the price down.
What factors can cause major fluctuations of Ethereum price? and how it will impact other ethereum blockchain based tokens/coins?
I think the most influential variable on Ethereum's fluctuations, and other altcoins is Bitcoin. And the Ethereum value will of course affect the token, but I'm sure project developers feel more of an impact than investors.
If talking about specific factors about ETH than of course it were decisions with argument by Vitalia Bouteria. Also in time with ethereum blockchain we see a weak places. It's have influence on the cost almost all tokens which working on the ethereum blockchain.
The main reason behind the fluctuations should always be the demand and supply of a coin. So far; it seems like Ethereum's supply is surpassing the current demand for ETH in market which is why the market is seeing such depressing situations. Moreover; it just reflects how much trust the users put on a coin to make it prevail in the market.
That's absolutely true that the price of any cryptocurrency, including Ethereum depends primarily on supply and demand. If the demand is high and the supply is limited, then the price is high.

Ethereum price fluctuation is a functionality of demand and supply curves,however I think it have not been stated clearly that Ethereum price fluctuation has been able to create impact on ERC20 based tokens unlike the bitcoin protocol.

As far as I can understand cryptocurrencies are, basically, valued by supply and demand. If you log into a cryptocurrency exchange such as bittrex, you will see the bid and ask values for each currency. I think that the market influences the price (as to people holding Ether, who are not participating in the market). Still the "market", and/or community bases price on many factors. IMHO, for the price to go up and stay up, a real benefit from using software running on Ethereum will need to be realized. If people cannot derive real benefit from using Ethereum, the price will fall. I imagine that investors will gradually continue to buy into Ethereum, play with the software, and increasingly seek out new DAO's/business models to grow the Ethereum ecosystem and thus increasing the price once again
In my belief, there are many factors that can affect the price of Ethereum. They are laws and regulations, what the developers are doing, the performance of other cryptocurrencies.
Ethereum price goes ups and falls according to several factors associated with the market as the market price is very volatile; we know. I think its mostly because of over panicking; market manipulations; regulations; supply and demand; ETH harmony etc. Market value facts. It is started to impact other coins and ICOs related to Ethereum blockchains as the factors are related to their interrelations; I assume.
The entire process of the pump and dump will have a major affect on the ETH price level. Plus if people sells them of in exchange for other coins; that will cause a serious fall for the coin.
Actually the price of the crypto currency in this market is determined by the supply and demand mainly. Moreover reputation has also have effect on this. I think good reputation and demand can affect the price of the ethereum positively
Fluctuations in ETH can be caused for many reasons. The major reasons can be- manipulation or speculative activity in the price; scandals on the currency; increasing or decreasing supply and demand. Also the govt. regulations can have major impact on the fluctuations. When there will be fluctuations in ETH price; other ETH block based coins price may rise or may fall!
I do not agree with you. I think the reason for the decline of Ethereum is that Ethereum was abused. Although it is very convenient to use, the use of Ethereum exceeded expectations, so I think Ethereum will not be very good next year.
The large fluctuations in Bitcoin can directly affect Ethereum and all coins. I am not optimistic about Ethereum because it has created many worthless coins.

These maybe the effect of some amateur investors who want to make quick profits. Once the price starts falling, these investors tend to panic sell. The combination of market manipulation and panic selling may be a reason behind the current price fall. One might argue that the market is going through its long term growth correction, but there is a chance it could be in for a deeper fall. The market could swing either way.
If ETH gets hard forked; there is a high chance that the price will be affected like it has happened once before; last year. Apart from that; if the demand of it falls; this could hamper the price as well as the ERC20 tokens.
Most of ICOs collect ETH, so they will eventually have to sell it. On the other hand when good ICO arises on the horizon people buy ETH to invest in it. I believe this is the main reason of price fluctuation.

in my opinion, it is bitcoin that will affect every price of growth values in other crypto, including ethereum. we know ethereum has advanced technology and is always used as an ico investment. but the fact is that bitcoin is the one that binds the market. that's why all crypto is always connected with bitcoin.
The cryptocurrency market is always unstable. I think that one of the reasons working behind the fluctuations of price of ethereum is ICOs. ICO has improved and progress many folds by the year 2017. Another important reason could be the general panic of public regarding cryptocurrency. This might be the bigger reason behind the fluctuations of price of ethereum.
I think this will affect its price if ETH meets with hard fork based on this was happened in before also so if the demand will fall their price will be affected.
Ethereum fluctuated due to the sole back fall of supply to demand on the market. And since; all the coins are affected by the change of price of BTC; they are all interlinked. Due to this; alot of users and investors has actually shift their choices to converting coins to BTC; from ETH or others. This might help to bring back the equilibrium of ETH as well soon.
In my opinion, the volatility of bitcoin prices is due to the psychology of investors in the market. That is quite a lot of people believe ETH buy the price will increase. Conversely, they are afraid of losing money and find that something is not satisfied with the ETH they will not invest, it will stand still and the price drops.
Ethereum is widely used and profitable. I think people's demand is more effective in increasing its price. As long as it goes; there will be faith. As a result; anytime the price can be raised.
when a coin price falls there are many reasons have their effect on them; just like that it also fall several side effects on the market as well so this market impatient situation will definitely influence the market and coins rate
Manipulation activity; Scandals on the currency; Supply and demand; Regulation or tolerance these are the main factors can cause major fluctuations of Ethereum price.
I personally think the main reason behind the fluctuations of Ethereum is due to the supply and demand of the market. This demand and supply curve is highly affected by the demand of BTC of course. A lot of investors now prefer to convert their ETH to BTC and in return the supply of ETH sees an upsurge but demand remains same. The same happens with other ethereum blockchain based coins.
These factors are known to all, this is the global growth of the market, as the market affects the growth, the larger the market and the larger, the faster the growth,and all this will affect, so I wish the market as fast as possible growth
I think the major issue that eth network is facing right now is scalability i.e high transaction price and slow transfers whenever there is big number of transfers resultiing in congestion, eth need to provide a lobg term solution to this problem as quickly as possible, secondly all tokens are independent projects so i do not think they can be directly linked with value of eth.
price of coin is regulated by market maker, people who have big money can do it
you just follow them in order to get profit not get lose

As far as I know, there are two main reasons why the price of ETH is down.1. ETH goes down because the bitcoin price falls. When bitcoin goes down, all altcoin things fall down. That is 100% certain from now until now
2. The ICO sells to ETH after the end of the ICO to take the money to fund the development. This makes the price of ETH impossible to go up because of the continuous ICO take turns selling ETH
Fluctuation of ethereum's price mostly depend on general market so bitcoin, I don't think tokens will be affected by that if eth itself decreases.
Seriously, am in love with this question you threw, uptil now, its is still very fuzzy to me why some times, the price of ether will go up and down, am going through the replies to get answers
The main reason behind the fluctuations should always be the demand and supply of a coin. So far; it seems like Ethereum's supply is surpassing the current demand for ETH in market which is why the market is seeing such depressing situations. Moreover; it just reflects how much trust the users put on a coin to make it prevail in the market.
The emergence of other currencies with as good potential as Ethereum's can be a determining factor for the fall in its price. Or even some good news about an existing currencies that already have this potential. Another factor is Bitcoin. Its value directly influences the value of all others. Bitcoin is like a Bluechip in the stock market.
In case of Bitcoins; a lot of big news affects the demand of it. However; Ethereum also get affected by this technically. A lot of the investors collect ETH from giveaways and bounty projects and they tend to exchange them later for BTC which causes the fluctuation of price.
Ethereum is a good project for invest. But price fluctuation can happen at any time. Price fluctuations are occurs when demands and supplies are not at the same range.
Ethereum get effected by a lot of factors for instance after each huge project ICO end Ethereum price get dumped because the project start to convert their tokens to Ethereum then convert their Ethereum to real money which effect the price of Ethereum a lot, look at how EOS was bragging about how they can effect Ethereum price so easy . Also their is huge factor a lot of people waiting for which is casper network it will make huge impact on Ethereum price in a positive way . All of this a long side that Ethereum is a main mining coin for most people around the world which means that the whole mining condition can also be a factor effecting Ethereum price .
I agree, lately ethereum has been pressured by bitcoin and usd. Add with Ethereum versus Cardano (ADA) to the cyber war in action
Unstable market conditions, traders who choose to sell Ethereum before reaching the lowest point to reduce losses and move to hold another coin, make Ethereum fluctuation
For me personally, ethereum is good enough for long-term investment due to many ERC-20 based projects
One of the best cryptocurrency of the time of Ethereum. Here are the future securitized and profitable. I think from other things people will play a big role in increasing the value of the demand. And any time the price will increase. In my opinion; its future will be very profitable.
Ethereum has more potential and people's interest in the crypto currency. I think people's interest will continue to grow. Because it is very profitable. Because it's made with advanced technology. And this demand of human beings will play a role in the price rise.

in my opinion that could be a factor of the fluctuations of ethereum because it has a very limited total supply and not only that is possible because of the ico that triggers ethereum price movements.
An important fact is coin dumping. When an ETH coin loses nearly half of its value in 30 days; investors panic and start selling all of their coin holdings and coin’s price falls further. It could cause Ethereum’s complete fluctuation.
There are so many factors of it. But ICOs following competition is one of the major factors. If startups lose interest in Ethereum and shift in other competitors like Lisk; then lisk coin will be accepted in their ICO and Ether will be down.
The following factors may be responsible for fluctuation in the price of ethereum :
1.Increase in the number of sellers while the number of buyers reduces vice versa
2. Increase or decrease in the price of bitcoin
3. Investment level
1.Increase in the number of sellers while the number of buyers reduces vice versa
2. Increase or decrease in the price of bitcoin

Apart from many factors one major factor to me is smart contract competition. Recently Ethureum has faced many tough competitors from startup offering similar or better service like NEO; Lisk; EOS; Wave; etc. More can come and etherum can be down.
I think most of the time the warmth of the ICO will determine the price of ETH.
If the market is good, then many people will choose to participate in the ICO, so a large number of ETH will be needed as a fundraising means, which will cause the price of ETH to rise sharply.

What factors can cause major fluctuations of Ethereum price? and how it will impact other ethereum blockchain based tokens/coins?
It seems to me that the main factor that affects the price of Ethereum is the number of people who invest in it. According to this, that's why Ethereum is cheaper every day because people sell Ethereum and invest in Bitcoin. Pay attention, ETH was stable until the BTC started rising to $ 8,000.
From my experience I won’t try to predict because it is too much uncertain. But there will certainly be various impacts on other Ethereum block chain based tokens and coins. They will also follow Ethereum fluctuations.
I think it is very hard to say. As all the cryptocurrencies nature is to be being volatile. So; you can not never say when the price will be high or all. But; if you follow simple economy price goes up when demand is high and goes low when supply is high.
Ethereum is a very popular and potential coin and what can cause major fluctuation to its price are fud; negativity or any ban news. The market gets highly affected by such news unfortunately.
There two factors cause the fluctuations of Ethereum price. Fist is Fundamental factor, it is caused of the Market Cap and the Supply of the ETH it self. For example, now the supply of ETH on the market is more than the maximum limit, so it is quite difficult to the price increase. Second is the interest of the buyer of the coins.

Ethereum has experienced a considerable decline this month so that all coins or tokens based on Ethereum also fall in price when it will return to normal as the original price.
What factors can cause major fluctuations of Ethereum price?
1. When bitcoin price up.2. When more people buy more Ethereum.
3. When good news comes out for Ethereum.
and how it will impact other ethereum blockchain based tokens/coins?
For ethereum it will have good impact but I don't think so with ERC20 tokens.

I think ethereum are still in good stable, ethereum is useful in every icos project so nothing doubt ethereum the major fluctuation is depends of the icos project using eth, i hope i'm correct please coorect my opionion if wrong thanks.
The bitcoin, the news about bitcoin, any fake reviews about bitcoin an bad news related to the crypto. I think that they can be considered as strong reasons to create a lot of fear among all of the crypto holders. You can see that the fluctuation of ethereum has been following the bitcoin.
The price of Ethereum going down is surely not because of its slow network or high transaction fees. I fully agree with CuriousGeorge's reply. Ethereum or altcoins are down, not finding any support level is only because Bitcoin's price is getting lower every day. During 24 hours of a period- Bitcoin's price finds a support level and then getting lower than the support level in recent weeks. And with all the FUDs surrounding Bitcoin, other altcoins are sinking deep. But let's not forget that this market works just like this.

fluctuations in the price of ethereum is often times as a result of fluctuations in the price of bitcoin, it drags all other tokens alongside
There are some factors that can affect the pricing of ETH. First is the mining of profitability; when user find ETH coins $300 to $400 they find profitable and starts mining. Then comes the regulations created by the Government of many countries over ETH.

Currently there is only one thing that’s bothering ETH and keeping it from going upwards. That’s it’s Gas price and transaction fees. The gas fees are getting huge these days and ETH is getting slower and slower at processing the different transactions at same time. So most of the ICO projects are getting troubled with their services and thus ETH is not getting much attention now a days. So it’s dumping right now.
Fluctuations in ETH can be caused for many reasons. The major reasons can be- manipulation or speculative activity in the price; scandals on the currency; increasing or decreasing supply and demand. Also the govt. regulations can have major impact on the fluctuations. When there will be fluctuations in ETH price; other ETH block based coins price may rise or may fall!
Etherium prices are in a growing position this year; and it is hoped that it will remain or hold its position for 2019 also. Changes may arise but hopefully; it will not be vast for its investors. Other coins like Cardano and neo may affect its position.
