And today, in perfect "sell the news" style, price is going down...
after all this time i assure you that there really isn't any reason for little fluctuations like this.
a tiny dip which is smaller than $50-$100 is not really because "sell the news", it is the normal way market works. and there are a lot of things going on at the moment which makes this "big Japanese news" get lost among them.
currently at $2250 by the way at bitstamp.
i agree the fluctation is very little and it's impossible to say exactly why. But you know Btc today could going up, sideway or down, it went down.
Now Bitstamp is 2216$, yesterday was over 2300$.
We will see in the next days what happening. If Bitcoin will not crash, I think Ethereum will continue to grow. If Bitcoin crash, everybody go down.
