I somehow feel that last three weeks were full of bad crypto news. Some of them where real while the others were made just for spreading FUD. The result of all of this is that whole cryptocurrency market is more than $300 Billion down from its peak. That is big fall of 1/3 in 3 weeks, but not unusual for this market. 

Even we could find a million reasons for this, and again not a single one of them alone would be the only one to blame for the market going down I would like to offer my two Satoshi on this subject, what I think that is one of the layers of the complex market behavior.

I predicted at the beginning of December that entering of big Wall Street boys on the crypto market officially through the futures could bring us more volatility, more FUD spreading and other sneaky trading tactics. In my opinion that is exactly what is going on right now. You got to realize that these groups have centuries of experience on how to play on the market and make money on it. The crypto game is changing and we can accept it or leave the game. 

To be clear, I am not saying that there are no problems around cryptocurrencies that need to be resolved. There are plenty of scammers, false ICO projects aiming to rip us off, unfair practices and hundred of the project without real value. The market is still a baby and needs to go through its puberty and fight with all childhood diseases to become stronger, less volatile and in some areas more regulated, but from inside, not outside.

Just to give you one example of what is going on let's look at last news - USDT! There is the same story about Tether for a few months circling in crypto related groups. Everyone could read how Tether business if fishy and untransparent, and how they have not proven for several months that can back up their coin with USD. That is old news, that "someone" is using at the certain moment to make FUD when he has benefited from it, not sooner, or later. All of us, traders and investors in cryptocurrencies, have to realize that this strategy is part of the big game trading, except that and use our brain when making decisions on how to deal with it and how to act on it. 

I listed here crypto articles from one channel (Cointelegraph) in last ten days, and as you can see every day, you can find some FUD news. If there were nothing on that day that could affect the market in a bad manner, then they would recycle some old news or make important news from something trivial, for example, "The Island of Bali is banning crypto.". I mean Bali, really important, common people.

I will now try to make one more prediction. In the next month or two, after all, shaky hands sell their tokens and lose their money, and daily volume goes down we will see the explosion. The crypto market will go so high, so fast that big number of small investors will miss the chance to buy cheap, and there will be much more big investors holding coins in their hands. Maybe I am wrong on this, but let's wait month or two months and see.
