maybe the bubble has popped, you never know, and it will probobly get even lower than it is, because before new year, it will probobly get even cheaper... also bitcoin and other currencyes.
if ETH gets down, just buy it!! do not look at price and whine how low it got.. you should rather sell ETH when high, and buy when low

Topic: Why is etherum's price dropping? (Read 802 times)
Ethereum price is almost as the same point as it was yesterday, the difference if insignificant (if you are comparing it to USD). But you can see some mysterious bitcoin pump over the last day. Imho it can be a good chance to grab your profit by trading your BTC for ETH now if you are sure that ETH will behave the same way when BTC will go down.

what got me thinking though is when will the rise of btc finally drop to maybe $5K. because to me it looks like is overbought already. i'd be very thankful if it happen today as I'm already to buy some altcoins I have been watching since they day its price dip.
Well it is true, since 5 (five) hours ago until now bitcoin price is still high, of course this is good news for bitcoin fans especially who invest here, maybe this is the main reason etherum price down.
So many people are just going over to BTC for the forks. It's not just Ethereum, all altcoins are suffering from it at the moment.
And as ever the masses are stupidly late.
They should've been on shapeshift weeks and months ago, not now.
Soon enough the current rout will calm down and they will pile back in and wind up fewer alts and btc than they started with.

As everyone know that BTC is on the move and it keep hitting ALL TIME HIGH whenever it move up. And Bitcoin is the king of crypto currency and it the past record that whenever bitcoin price goes up other Altcoin come down in price so its same thing happening again and not only with ethereum it is happening will all the Altcoins.
The huge wave of conversion from Eth to BTC
Look at the latest transactions from ALT to BTC on shapeshift (90% if not more are from Eth to BTC)

Not only ETH but most of the promising altcoins like the NEO, OMG, XRP, LTC, XMR are going down from the past few months.
The obvious reason behind this is Bitcoin. The forks are adding the liquor in the fire in a way through free cons. People are aiming for free coins rather than holding the altcoins. That is why Bitcoin is keeping on increasing in price whereas Altcoins are decreasing in price.
I was also holding ETH but seeing the dump in Altcoins I myself decided it would be better to sell it off immediately.

It might be because btc price is going up. Also, because people are buying altcoins with their ethereum. It might even be because holidays are coming up soon and they are trading it to fiat currency. It will go up and up again for sure
maybe suspicious token airdrop, they get free eth from nothing then sell it
hahaha, not only ETH bro.
Almost the entire altcoin market has fall too. Because this Bitcoin and his brother BCC.
I hate this because i don't invest in both bcc and bitcoin

according to me, etherium down because more enthusiasts prefer btc.
which is a major factor in the decline of etherium.

there are so many factors especially right now that we see so many developments in the space. To start with, BTC is about to fork which has the effect of everyone buying into it, altcoins are usually dropping during such days. In addition you have CME group which wants to offer BTC to institutional investors which is huge (the least), there have been many talks about institutional investors getting involved into the Blockchain and this is it basically. The biggest futures and derivatives trading group is offering exactly that. It's expected that the market will react by buying more BTC, because when these investors have access to BTC, it will drive its price up even more. So whoever has some Ethereum is selling it to buy BTC, to answer your questions, and by doing so ETH is depreciating while BTC is appreciating. Don't worry though, the markets will correct sooner or later and we'll be likely see a retract of BTC and more buys into Alts.
It was just doing fine yesterday. 
That's because bitcoin prices continue to rise and result in all altcoin down. And ethereum also comes down because it includes altcoin..It is really hard for people who had invested in altcoins in anticipation of getting the better return and now btc price is being moving a high and altcoins value falling back. Thus in the same time if invested in btc it would have provided them some great profits and now people are struck thinking to hold or to sell and invest back in btc.
Its Obvious friend, Reason is the mighty bitcoin is going higher and higher!!!

i dont really know that.maybe its because of that;Eth s is unlimited,it has no limit to produce like tether but mosr of coins like bitcoin got a limit.it can be affected price i think
Not only ETH, but the entire altcoin market has been falling, because Bitcoin has been receiving good news for the past few days and attracting investors.
