Volume of trades went down continuosly before the crash. Price looked unusually stable, but it was just a matter of time before it all crashed. There are simply no buyers, interest in bitcoin went down, plus different other things like bcash war and panic has accelerated the fall.
Isn't it the real reason is price manipulation that causes massive sell off's? Because I think BTC is getting more popular everyday?This has been already integrated in our daily lives.. ^_^ Hope the price will excel high before the year ends.. I think those whales will surely manipulate the market price again to go high for them to gain more and more profit ! ^_^
