the most influential factor in bitcoin prices falling is all of these fake news articles coming out to get weak hands to sell. We have seen is yesterday even when bloomberg writes a story on the tether incident with the talks of the subpoena and than later re-edit it after everyone had already seen it and reacted to it that the subpoena was from at least a month or more ago. Being that the crypto market is already pretty violate just adding these fake news articles in and you get what you are currently seeing. Manipulation from the higher ups so they can scoop up some cheap crypto currencies before they too, admit that block chain technology is indeed the future.
