Why Is Ethereum Continuously Going Down?

At the time of writing, Ethereum is down at an average $318 across different exchanges (from a previous high of $415). Anyone have any idea? What factors are contributing to its constant downward run? At one point it seemed like it would reach $500+ by end of June, and now after a few major corrections, Ethereum hasn't really recovered. Plus, how do you see the Ethereum future with this downward run?

I'm just going to say what I'm thinking. Just wait and see, nothing changes in a day or a week just take bitcoin as an example it took 8 years to get to the prices that it is today. Don't rush hold and forget. Don't let your emotions make decisions.

But it increasingly feels as if the price is being controlled and manipulated constantly. I wonder, apart from people putting in and pulling money out, what other factors affect the price increase/decrease, and where does all the money go that's wiped off when a correction takes place?

wow you caught me off guard, really interesting question and i think that you should realize that stock market corrections really aren't an issue if you remain focused on the long-term with retirement as your goal. The only people who should be worried when corrections roll around are those who've geared their trading around the short-term. Maintaining a long-term view has been the smartest way to invest in cryptocurrency since 2009 and it also happens to be a recipe for a good night's sleep.
Now to answer your question to where that money goes you have to ask yourself how did all that money got there in the first place. From people that invested in and the same people are the ones that making the corrections happen just by selling big amounts in once. I hope i was helpful :)

I'm interested to know as well..

It is simply a case of more selling pressure than buying pressure. Don't make it any harder (its just searching for a rationalisation that is a tale, a story, rather than the truth). Stock analysts thrive on this nonsense.

Do you see ethereum getting back on the upward trend anytime soon? Right now, it's falling fast! lol
