Actually news doesn't influence the market much. Investors and traders are very careful now. Everyone's waiting for huger movements in crypto, for regulators decisions.
There is not much news about the crypto currencies spreading in these days because the market looks stable for too long in crypto market terms so the investors are just settled with the current situation of the market,only there will be changes if the bull run begins or else the market will stay at these level in the coming year also in my opinion.
I do think the news can influence this market a lot a lot of us here do read the news, I myself reads the news on cryptocurrency almost everyday to know whats up and when I see a bad news about any coin I do hake actions, though not immediately, I will first do research to know what other sites are saying about that coin and also check the coins community, if people are also saying the same then I withdraw and wait till everything is fine and I can get back in. So news do influence the market.
