The news in term of development are actually decent, with LN getting closer to a release, so I think this is just temporary.

I think this is because of those fake news that are giving people in the cryptocommunity negative thoughts that creates a panic, we all know that when there is a panic, the whole cryptoworld is being greatly affected, and that is the reason why the leaders and creators of the cryptoworld is telling people to keep calm and wait.
Spreading false news affecting this rapidly going down of price. Yes fake news has contributes also with regards to these patience is our mostly keys to succeed. This is not forever on down price however, price will still be increase.
