the fud for the hard fork is causing a big sell off, all the money ar enot lost they are all in the altcoin, look at zcash and etheruem and dash, all the bitcoin that are sold are there, my guess is that after this fork will be done the money will return to bitcoin, so don't worry keep holding and buy more at cheaper rate!

Agree with that, there is no need for panic or selling. People are Investing in altcoins at the moment but.Bitcoin is not on that big loss and I think that the Bitcoin price will be on the track again, stable with tendency to rise again.
Every time when price is going down a bit people start to worry and even panic but this time there is no reason for that at all.

More sellers than buyers.

Honestly, I think it started with people selling Bitcoin profits and buying Ethereum (which has most recently received a run up). Then the downward pressure on Bitcoin gained some momentum. People started taking profits (just for the sake of locking in their gains). We now see Ethereum dropping too. So there's a lot of people sitting with fiat, on the sidelines waiting to see how this plays out.

BUT, human psychology is a funny thing, watching the price drop on something like Bitcoin can influence others to sell, they don't want to be stuck holding their coins at the bottom. So...you have to ask yourself, what do you think Bitcoin will be in a year and beyond (greater or weaker than it is today). If you believe it will be greater, don't sell but buy into the drop. If you believe it will be weaker, sell baby sell.

So true it is.....we all want higher profits...as high as possible...if people see even a downfall of 30 dollars they create it a panic like hell...and start over exaggerating the things....sometimes i think people start acting like sheep they have lost patience...downfall of patience = downfall of BTC

The fact is people get panic so easily that start selling their coins when they see downfall in the price and at that point they need to have patience and should hold their coins tight and if they sell then it will surely won't give good profit margin.

Can anyone help me with the actual reason? Anything happened which is acting as a catalyst for this down-slide?

Recent high speculation about possible bitcoin network split may be the major factor for constant dump on price. We may see hard fork of bitcoin which will lead to two bitcoin network one will remain as bitcoin core (BTC) another chain from bitcoin unlimited will be known as (BTU).

I don't think It has anything to do with Bitcoin Unlimited personally, Instead, I think people are investing on DASH and Ethereum as we have seen a really decent price increase in them. (huge for DASH!) People are probably trying to buy enough DASH and start their Masternodes.

But in a sense this should be mutually exclusive. When you buy Dash or Ethereum, most use BTC. So, you have to buy BTC, that would make BTC price move up.
Some exchanges do allow cash deposits for Dash and Ethereum I believe, so this wouldn't make BTC go down either.

This is BTC selling, so why? I think it is the Chinese BU stuff.
And what ever happened to the exchanges there coming back online? How late are they now? Are they insolvent?

Bitcoin users are that factor that affect bitcoin's price the most. It's simple speculation when the price is falling cause of people are selling their coins and rising when people buy.

Hi, I was trying to find a reason as to why bitcoin price is going down so rapidly? Google search didn't show any rock-solid reason.

Can anyone help me with the actual reason? Anything happened which is acting as a catalyst for this down-slide?

I am also wondering the same thing. In the past few weeks, the value of bitcoin is doing good and increasing in the market. I also wanted to know the reason why does its value now is going down so fast. I hope that it will be on its track again.

Move this to speculation

As for the actual reason, I have a feeling it is a panic sell from basically everyone after the price broke $1200 on a downward trend and people started to think they were not going to make a ton of money off of the stagnation of the price at the time. Over a day or two it trended down, until finally breaking $1000 downwards today and everyone started to freak out and sell.

A lot of psychology is probably what is triggering this value collapse right now.
