The market might be down comparing to December 2017 but is it really when you compare to it to the situation of last April? Both Bitcoin and Ethereum's prices are still so much higher than last April. Yes, I'd love to see the market at a stable position at this time which is badly needed to stop people from panicking.

Totally agree with you. We should not panic. To put things in perspective, take a look of the prices one year ago:

BTC: $988
BCH: $233
ETH: $43
LTC: $4


A good illustration of the fact that people very quickly forget past prices and quickly get used to the highs.

Availability bias. According to the availability bias, people tend to heavily weight their decisions toward more recent information, making any new opinion biased toward that latest news.
