Topic: Why does bitcoin crash occasionally? - page 4. (Read 812 times)
the crash of bitcoin sometimes happens crash unpredictably due to the first reason is big amount of bitcoin held by some big whales on the world, so they can control the market whenever they want, secondly using the unstable from the world such as bitcoin banning in Korea or China, bitcoin can be drop more than before.
The rise and fall of BTC is normal behavior!
Because the price of BTC is determined by the market, although the value of encrypted currency is now affected by demand and trading volume!
Many people don't understand the technology of bitcoin, and the purpose of their purchase is to make money, so sometimes they choose to sell when they fall, causing the price to fall!

Perfect. I go with the above answer. Adding to this there is some correction happens in bitcoin as part of their activity to strengthen their base to make bitcoin further bullish. This activity sometimes lower the price but that's part of the cryptocurrency health check kind of thing. Do not panic when price goes down and you cannot actually say that it is a crash, it's just a warm up activity for a bullish future.
The theory could be a truth since it happened suddenly to all known crypto currency , but we cannot change the fact that it also happened in past which is seem to be normal to everyone.
Whales manipulation
Fear and panic sell
Fake news
etc...
There should be an agency that filters information about bitcoin, so anyone can not make false information and do fud.Fear and panic sell
Fake news
etc...
China has done it several times and succeeded in making bitcoin holders panicked. this may be one of the strategies to gain profits in a sneaky way.
I think the price reduction of bitcoin is a normal phenomenon, it is a very normal adjustment.
A lot of people saw a lot of falls, and they said they broke, I don't think so, I think of it as a correction, so it's better to go up.
The rate at which bitcoin speedily raced to the $19K mark was really very alarming and am sure though investors where happy, there were also afraid of it as well, because it was simply very much unbelievable. Bad news and rumors as well price corrections are the reasons why the price constantly falls. A lot of people saw a lot of falls, and they said they broke, I don't think so, I think of it as a correction, so it's better to go up.

Market fluctuations will have bad or good news to bring to people and make them bitter about the bitcoin market, in addition there are many other contributing factors to increase or decrease the value of bitcoin as market manipulation , speculation / storage of great value ..., There are many reasons and it also happens in different forms of investment and you should pay attention to how to improve the system. What they do may have a bitcoin market opportunity.
Bitcoin doesn't crash occasionally, it just crash depending on the circumstances that is currently happening in the market of bitcoin and because of the FUDs right now that we have for bitcoin, it creates fear for the other people especially those who are newbies in this cryptocurrency world and that creates panic selling situation that decrease the price a lot.
I think that the amount of new traders entering the market is one of the main reasons for the FUD sell chain reaction after each and every negative mainstream media message. They still have to develop strong hands.
Looks like nobody dares to keep bitcoin in the long run and everyone is happy with little profit, hence the bitcoin behavior
Bitcoin crash occasionally as a result of news pertaining to crypto issues,presently lots of people are taking profit reason why we have a crash in the price,its is a norm in the sector
I think now bitcoin has fallen because it's prone to the Chinese New Year: Asian cryptotraders translate the crypto currency into fiat to buy gifts and tickets for traveling on vacation 
. I'm sure that the market will start to grow after February 16)

After China closing their farm, South Korea ban and India freezing account of btc the price dip happened. Price dip is good for traders they gain more on it. I guess those anouncement from that huge crypto country is just to stare up the market. Prices will soon soar then.
and japan pullout almost majority of their assets because they are planning to build or create their own cryptocurrency thats why price of bitcoin crash this season. Reason why bitcoin crash in occasions its because they will use their money for buying stuffs they need in that occasion sample christmas they need to pullout some of their money to buy christmas gifts, give money to parents and other needs in that season.
It all comes down to demand and supply, but there are so many factors that affect it. How the press shines on bitcoin is a huge factor. Currently, bad news after bad news, put btc on a bad light. That made some people lose confidence in it and sold their coins. Another factor is competition. There are so many other cryptocurrency, and it divides the people. Supply and Demand goes somewhere else. Lastly, you should also pay attention to is how btc changes on a technological level. What some people seem to forget that, there's actual tech and developers behind BTC, and you should be paying attention on how they improve the system. What they do can drastically chance the market.
It is a living market - there are so many factors which contribute to the up and downswings of a token with as much liquidity as bitcoin.

All of this. There are plenty of reasons and it happens in other forms of investment too. Things grow, they reach a tipping point, they 'correct' when selling starts to happen and it somewhat snowballs due to fear, bots etc. and then it starts rising again. It's nothing to worry about. It's natural to worry a bit when an investment falls quite sharply, but a correction is actually healthy for long term growth - without periodic corrections, you'll see a bubble which bursts and many people get wrecked.
Demand and supply greatly affects bitcoin price and so it's easy for billionaires to manipulate bitcoin price, these manipulators are all looking in one graph we are all looking, so you must master technical analysis and candlestick indicators to help you cut further losses, crypto exchanges must have this setting, gladly almost all exchanges I now have.
as bitcoin is being used as an asset (mostly), it is similar to stocks (right now), I guess you would get some good information about this trend here https://www.disnat.com/en/learning/trading-basics/stock-basics/what-causes-stock-prices-to-change
There can be many reasons from which this occasional crashes can occurs and the most evident one is when this whales try to manipulate this prices by taking out all their stocks is when this type of short crashes occurs.Other reasons are FUD's. and false news of countries banning bitcoin or announcement of some forks like segwit2x etc.But things could stop if people starts to think logically and they don't panic on this fake news would definitely reduce some crashes.
This is bad side of decentralised market, when a big whale gather together they will be able to manipulate the price, and when people buy bitcoin, one day they will sell to get profit, but this time the damage is due to the banning rumor from different countries and the people that rejected to used bitcoin because of the expensive fee
Bitcoin sometimes falls in his course and you need to get used to it and take it easy. First, it can not constantly grow in price. By its nature, it is very volatile and will periodically rise or fall. Secondly, it is decentralized and is not supported by anyone in a certain course. The usual money from the fall of the course is guarded by the Central Banks, in which there is a so-called stabilization fund, from which they feed their currency. Here, bitcoin is left to itself. Third, bitcoin very clearly reacts to external financial factors and bad investment news. Fourthly, bitcoin is now experiencing not the best of its times and has a lot of problems with transactions, which frightens off investors.
