Yesterday, I was reading an article which was stating the reasons for the recent sell off of bitcoin which in turn, has affected most altcoins as well, though I currently can't remember the website where I was reading this article, but personally, I think that what also contributed to the sell off is the festive season coming up, it is common sense that people are gonna need money to spend in Christmas and new year, for those who don't have extra, they are likely to sell off some part of their crypto holdings to enable them raise money for this festive period, am assuming that as soon as we enter the new year, as from middle of January, by then, we can tell for sure if we have slipped into a bear crypto season or not.
