What is the reason for the $ 8,300 drop in Bitcoin price?

From March 7, within 48 hours, Bitcoin price fell from $ 10,600 to $ 8,300. The alternative crypto followed this trend. The cost of the three largest currencies, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple fell by more than 11%. Analysts like WhalePanda said this drop was due to Bitcoinrecent sale by Mt.Gox's trustee. The trustee has sold around 40,000 Bitcoin coins in crypto-exchange. WhalePanda also said:

However, the sale of 40,000 Bitcoin is not the end of the sale by Mt.Gox's trustee. According to an official document issued by Mt.Gox, more than $ 1.7 billion in the Bitcoin hang up to be sold in the next few months.

Official Mt.Gox document referring to Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash:

As a result of the court consultation, I thought it was necessary and wise to sell the set amount in Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash at this stage, thus providing resources. I tried selling Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash at the highest possible price. I intend to consult the court to determine the further sale of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash.

$ 1.7 billion

If the Mt.Gox trustee continues to sell large quantities of Bitcoin in the crypto-exchanges rather than in the over-the-counter market where large buyers can trade with each other, the price of Bitcoin will continue to be affected by the sale.
Cardano's founder, Charles Hoskinson, said Bitcoin could have been overestimated at $ 19,000:

Was the real value of the $ 20,000 coin if such an event had so much impact on the market? We need an index of how much it can afford to eradicate the market without crashing into every crypto.

It remains unclear whether Mt.Gox 's trustee will "plunge" the market with more than $ 1.7 billion in Bitcoin, which will be sold on the stock market as planned or will move to the over - the - counter market to prevent market manipulation.

I really worry to invest.
What happen to crypto today, why sharply decline almost all coint

Hi, informative and useful post! Upvoted and follow you! Well, all this is a normal evolution of the cryptocurrency market. Two weeks ago i replied to a post -which forecasted the increase of the BTC price to 17k usd for this week-, that, in my opinion and search this is too difficult to happen. Lot of ppl -simple users and small traders- are anxious lately because of this fall which is quiet normal because there is no more place for investments (continuing to buy BTC) as the global economic elit who owns more than one third of the bitcoins in circulation need to clarify the altcoin real values (get rid of shitcoins) and get any possible profit before starting again the increase of the price from new positions favorable to the big owners. The case of Mt. Gox 1.7 billion is just the visible part of the iceberg i could say.... It will be more corrections next week and it is possible the BTC fall under 6000 usd for a certain periode also because of the adoption of the blockchain technology by centralized financial organizations and the application of stricter global regulations concerning the BTC. All this is not necessarily a catastrophe nor the end of BTC. It is certainly a good example to study for all of us as the reality of the crypto game is hidden in this process of selling massively and suddenly BTCs. A good way for the hyperwhales to handle the market and manipulate the prices according to their plans. We shall see, certainly, next month the price of BTC comming back to 11000 max 13000 USD but this time the crypto market will be more wise and even more stable as it will be less small speculators and the whales will build again a support to keep the price finally stable around 10000 usd which will be the definitif price of BTC for some time to come. Bitcoin cannot be again 20000 usd, this was the promotion to attract millions of ppl to invest in this "new prommising economy" which in reality is nothing but the same fiat money whales who prepare the transition from fiat currency -paper money- to the virtual global currency shaped in the created crypto-univers. Let's dont forget that the only reason ppl followed the BTC and invested is the illusion of a fast huge profit from a ridiculous amount of dollars or euros. Yes this happen sometimes when we sleep and dream but in reality it has never happened in the human economic history and will never happen of course simply because if it happens then its the end of the money as we know it (fiat and cryptos) -i mean the real value of money will be around zero if everybody could be rich investing 100 dollars in cryptos or anything else -its the main rule of any kind of economy based on "money". Besides a BTC at 20000 usd is not anymore possible to use it for technical and practical reasons. .. Let's dont forget also that there is no chart no study of the trends etc able to give a real forecast or even an idea of what will be the price of btc after one hour or one month for the simple reason that the whales doesnt follow the charts, they can at any time pump and dump anything against all charts and predictions of simple users like us. It should be better to understand that this market is in reality much more centralized and manipulated than any other centralized market and it is not wise to belive things that obviously doesnt exist in reality. Last word: it is obvious that whales will continue to sell until the moment they think is good to stabilize and take new positions so winner will be who holds his cryptos and let em be without touching em waiting the new pump -which i think will bring some stability...
Anyway this is just my opinion and maybe things will be very different. At least i express what i feel and see. Hope everyhting comes back to the normality soon and prices go to where everybody wants and feel safe.
Thanks for reading me!
Have a nice day!!!
