Supply and demand...as simple as that.
now the reak question is about the inflated demand, and the complicated answer is the greedy people who were so blind to not see or ignore the huge bubble, they were also promised $10K coins, so as naive as they were they kept buying bitcoins... in fact they were buying hope and held and wishes and dreams, but now they are realizing how ignorant they were... this is why the bubble is taking so long to burst, it was delayed with hope and dreams and wishful thinking.
Edit: BTW, technical analyzes work most of the time...the fact that you don't understand charts or don't know how to use them doesn't mean they are worthless.
If technical analysis worked out most of the time then we all should've been rich by now. I'm pretty fucking sure that you or any other else never predicted $150 bitcoin followed by $200, dip to $170 and back to $220 in a ridiculous 2-3 days timeframe. What you can do with T.A is to paint a history and then place a "bet" based on it. Saying that T.A works most of the time is an overstatement.
well, you are wrong sir, just read my posting history.
