The news in term of development are actually decent, with LN getting closer to a release, so I think this is just temporary. 
Yes, Bitcoin is temporary. Bitcoin prices are going down fast because there are so many rumors about recent Bitcoin being heard. France and South Korea banned Bitcoin As a result, other countries are afraid of bitcoin. As a result, Bitcoin prices are much lower in the current market. Which is $ 8K below. Which is a bit disappointing for Bitcoin users. Moreover, Bitcoin is a currency. It is normal to increase the price of bitcoin. If we look at the record of 2017, we can understand how much the price has increased. In particular, in the end of 2017. But the prices are very low in early 2018. Some people think that the prices of other types of currency are increasing. It may be said that everything is going to be reduced bitcoin. But very soon the bitcoin will become valuable.
Market fluctuations is just a normal thing that happens to cryptocurrency specifically the bitcoin. One of the factors that contributes to the price dump is the panic selling. When the price is low many users/investors tend to sell their coins too which could just worsen the current market situation. Theyre not thing thinking that it could just make the price lower.
