Why ETH is down?

[a_ps]

The sale of basic ETH tokens does not affect the decline in the value of ETH itself.
I think this decline is due to some dishonest ICO projects. Trust in crypto has decreased and all have been affected.

[hope167]

the market is going down so the price almost token drop, the price of ETH too, now we can buy some eth and hold them to until last next year, i think big money will return to you.

[asraf]

i have put all my trust in ETH 

If i did understand correctly you are starting to lose hope in ethereum already?
You should hang on to it and give it another chance to make dramatic changes to your crypto wallet.

right now indeed the market situation is very difficult, and almost all crypto users are in the same difficulty. but I think in the future the market will improve again, so it's very appropriate to keep holding it.

Ethereum is one of the largest cryptocurrencies in the world by market capitalization and is facing major devaluation as its value has been dropping at a major scale since last month. The gap between Ethereum and Bitcoin seems to be growing larger, with Bitcoin on 5% growth for the last month and Ethereum continues to fall rapidly.

Let's see the factors that led to the downfall of Ethereum -

1) Firstly, the introduction of a new BitMEX - ETH perpetual swap contract, which allowed traders to shorten the price of ETH with up to 100x leverage in a similar manner like the XBT (BTC) BitMEX contract. Although this has not been confirmed, this statistic has led to the speculation that the arrival of the contract allowed pessimistic investors to weigh down on the price of ETH.

2) The ICO sell-off factor, with many traders claiming that projects have begun to liquidate their war chests, that are often full of Ether, into fiat, leading to the current collapse of the market, not only ETH.

Even though the Ethereum price has declined, 2019 looks bright for Ethereum as HTC Blockchain Phone Exodus 1(which is only accepting Bitcoin and Ethereum) is expected to launch on December 29,2018. The Ethereum price is expected to reach around $1450 in 2019.

Ehereum price is fallen down too much .
The majority of analysts in the cryptocurrency sector have attributed the decline in the
price of ETH to the sell off of ERC20 blockchain projects that have raised
millions of dollars in ETH in their token sales
What do you think?

Because Bitcoin affect.  I think the value of bitcoin will affect the price of all altcoins. I see Today is crysis of crypto currency.

[PreshB]

ETH  is  down  due  to  the  fact  that  all  crypto  are  really  declining  in  the  market  price.

[damsix]

The Bitcoin factor makes it all down and it has an impact on the price of Ethereum.
Ethereum panicked and it was the same as the other altcoins.

Fiat down pair with Bitcoin.
Fiat down pair with Ethereum.

[asraf]

yeah, need to be patient for that.
indeed now the market situation is very sad, but we know that crypto will continue to grow in the future. and ethereum prices will pump again.

keep your etheruem well in your wallet, if you have the remaining money you can buy it again at a cheaper price.

eth falls along with the market after btc. as soon as the market begins to grow, the price will start to grow. Apparently it will not be before February

Now we can buy some eth and hold them back until next year, I think big money will come back to you. The market is down so the prices of almost all tokens drop, ETH prices too.

What do you think?

The main reason why ETH is down because bitcoin affect. The price of bitcoin will affect the value of all crypto currency.

Are you sure the price of eth is now the deepest sir? if yes it's time for all in. 

[anggaem]

most ETH holder is ICO dev and as we know they need to pay employee so maybe they sell off all their ETH .

[pelana vreo]

Many Ico's are successful and every new coin that appears will use most eth to buy. Then the project will receive eth for their initial capital in building the project. Actually, more and more people need ETH. The price will increase.
the decline in eth prices was due to many scam projects.

My opinion is whale are trying to dump the price so they can buy more at cheapest to earn max profit. We need some rule to control this market, otherwise these whale will always try to manipulate the market like that
