And more than 2 months ago after the OP has open this thread, bitcoin prices seems to fluctuate and there's so single reason that we can pinpoint as to what or who is the real culprit, but we all have our idea as to why the market has reacted this way since the start of the year.
@justdimin - what you describes is the classic sideways trends, no clear indication or somewhat the price is consolidating for another break out run or a tight squeeze. Sad to say that Inexperienced traders focus on profits only, but if its doesn't goes on their favor they panic to cut their risk. Yes, its a vicious cycle and it might be another reason for this down trend that we are witnessing.
Topic: Why Bitcoin Prices Down? (Read 371 times)
Bitcoin price is going down because of Price Manipulation".There are heavy manipulations in the bitcoin price. They are carried out by BIG whales who have thousands of Bitcoins. Big Whales can easily bring the price down by selling their bitcoins at any time when they want to get the benefit.
The crypto market was recently affected in all the altcoins. But Bitcoin is always struggle the price fluctuation so Big whales are not involve in this price manipulation. I think few peoples are accepting this statement so long term holders are earn more crypto in the market. This year prices are continuously down it depends on crypto rejection. 
Another idea people have been talking about is the lack of movement is causing lack of movement. Which creates a circle until someone breaks that circle chain. Meaning people see that there is no movement to any direction properly which means they do not invest more to get into that movement since there is none. Since they do not get into it because there is no movement, this results with having no movements as well.
It is a vicious circle and only whales react to small improvements or decreases in prices and make money that way but without the new people coming in we can't move higher and they won't come if we do not go higher.

Because its bitcoin and it is what it does. It also went from 6.4 levels to 7.2 levels just a week ago, this is what bitcoin does, it goes up and down. Can we stop freaking out every single time bitcoin moves 10% ?
In reality moving 10% is so common for bitcoin that I feel like its breathing, inhaling and exhaling. We should stop focusing on why it is going down and we should start focusing on why it is so volatile and why moves so quickly with such a huge margin. We need a bit of stable life for us and without that stable prices bitcoin will always stay as a risky investment option for many people. It will never be anything more than that without any stableness.

I think it is a normal thing on this market for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies along with it fly up and fly down. There are so many reason's that make bitcoin down, like politics, fake news and many more
These are all one of the reason in price down but you forgot the miners because they are all secret support of Bitcoin supply.Recently many miners are drop the mining platform but again they are interested to join the mining industry. So we should stay here Bitcoin will going to peak.
It is already down because we are in a bear market right now, And because of a sudden exchange that has been hacked the price that is $7000 USD and up crash to $5800 USD we are still in a process of regaining what is lost, I really think that there are people selling their bitcoin and exchanging with some other coin or there are a major panic in the community, And there are a lot of factors involve why the price is so down right now not just because we are in the midst of a bear market.
Bitcoin Prices Down is caused by the overreaction of news that Bitstamp, Coinbase, itBit and Kraken are being investigated for price manipulation. about what a good coin bought in the month of June. I predict ACT, TEN is ready to move up. there are several reasons why I chose both the coin and the token. Maybe you've all seen the price of BITCOIN that dropped dramatically now, I myself am observing some news / articles explaining bitcoin prices, there are a lot of articles explaining the bitcoin price reduction and also different explanation of the cause of bitcoin reduction, some say that the embezzlement, which explains that the sale of digital currencies by various trustees in the Japanese cryptocurrency exchange, Mt.Gox, is declared bankrupt and closes its business in 2014 after losing about 850,000 Bitcoin. Its founder, Mark Karpeles, who pleaded not guilty to accusations of embezzlement, and also because the big mafia who said that there is a big mafia that is playing, by selling all the bitcoin that has been obtained from the bitcoin scam website they had made last year, and also the price The falling XPY is now also the cause of bitcoin down, maybe what I hear is true, all the causes it may indeed affect the bitcoin price, if you have other explanation about bitcoin price ?, you can share your knowledge so that all know what really happened so bitcoin slumped.
The price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies continues to decline to the lowest level this year. This is a case of hacking during this week that breaks into coins. To overcome this problem, the exchange of coins will be done offline while the remaining time and assets are transferred to cold storage

I think there is encouragement and discouragement which responsible and result of negative and positive news which made different perceptions. Now the Bitcoin’s low price if goes more down then any negative news will make investors sell their coins which will decrease the value of Bitcoin further. So the market solution for high market price is big investments which will activate the value of Bitcoin in upward direction. 
these exchange hacks are the best things that can happen to us. it is teaching the newcomers not to trust exchanges, more like reminding everyone. and also it is cleaning the market from the weak hands and on top of all that it is bursting the altcoin bubbles since each time the altcoins get dumped hard.
i also agree that this fall is an altcoin-induced fall. and you can clearly see it on the rate that altcoins (more importantly ETH that was hacked) is falling compared to the rate and size that bitcoin has been during the same time frame.

But I don't really understand why there was a Bitcoin drop. Please, what has Bancor getting hacked having to do with Bitcoin, at all? was Bancor holding any bitcoins? Not to my knowledge. The only funds reported to be hacked were $13 million worth of Ethereum and some other altcoin I have no idea about (PunditX or something like that).
This is very cyclical. Anyone that has been here for a while deals with so called exchange hacks as just opportunities to buy the dip.
well it doesn't really have to do anything with bitcoin to cause a panic sell. we have seen many cases of things like this when for example Facebook banned the ICO scamfest on their platform and people panic sold bitcoin!!!
although there is another connection that is just a speculation mostly that i also agree with that says whenever people are dumping altcoins they do it to go back to fiat and they do it on altcoin exchanges that don't have any fiat market so they sell their altcoin (eg ETH) for bitcoin then transfer it to their bitcoin exchange and sell it for fiat and that pushed bitcoin price down.
Bitcoin is crashing! $6800 psychological resistance, will test the low again, meanwhile already dropped 6% so the big money is not ready. Need big buying volume that may leads bounce back again, which didn't happen.
I wonders who will risk their money in a big scale like which can help the price to bounce back from the price crashes other than whales.But the combination of small and legit investors can make it buy continuous holding through all the way just start it from yourself now and it can help the bitcoin to recover faster.

It's too late to ask such a thing because the drastic decline and bear market has been going on for so long in the last few months, this is because of the massive sale where Bitcoin's supply is so available, the panic that has caused so much news spread across all media that causes FUD to new people, hacking everywhere is a very chaotic situation, but it was, now is to return better, all the risk is inevitable.

Don't worry about this sudden drop pal everything will be fine soon, just keep believing it will bounce back again , and probably it will not go further because it's just a hack scenario from other country which always happened., so perhaps it will continue to stay above this current price until it gain enough strength again to pump, so don't panic.

I see both bitcoin and the ethereum is falling at the same rate but I still can't find the reason behind the fall of the prices when there is a bump happening with the crypto market it comes along with the serious dump which is likely to be followed since the price fall starts from $20Ki also agree that this fall is an altcoin-induced fall. and you can clearly see it on the rate that altcoins (more importantly ETH that was hacked) is falling compared to the rate and size that bitcoin has been during the same time frame.
ETH wen down from $486 to $434 which is a %10.6 drop
while bitcoin went down from $6710 to $6370 which is a 4.9% drop how are these two the same rate?
the reason as it was mentioned earlier is the panic sell due to some new exchange called Bancor being hacked. 90% of the people selling have never even heard of this exchange before. and they stole ETH from them which is another reason why ETH is falling faster. here is their twitter: https://twitter.com/Bancor

The cause is a surge of uncertainty over weeks and advertising bans by technology companies. these exchange hacks are the best things that can happen to us. it is teaching the newcomers not to trust exchanges, more like reminding everyone. and also it is cleaning the market from the weak hands and on top of all that it is bursting the altcoin bubbles since each time the altcoins get dumped hard.

Investors' confidence is obviously low, and most venture capital funds have withdrawn from the BTC market. The previous price has increased a lot, which is the reason why the BTC price fell.
