I'm not surprised really,  lots of people are panicking selling,  the market is not encouraging at all for now,  it's just so upsetting seeing most especially ethereum,  the rate at which ethereum is dropping is quite not interesting

Because someone again decided to ponipulate the market. Merge at a high price, deliberately omit it and buy it there. In principle, nothing new, everything as usual. This is already a trend this summer, and now the beginning of the fall.

I personally believe that all prices are falling due to the fact that the market is falling and the price of bitcoin is cheaper. bitcoin has a huge impact on altcoins and so all prices are falling.

I think this has something to do with the bearish market and today we had a very similar occurence when the prices went falling so steeply as seen on the graphs. The on going inflation rate experienced early this September 2018 probably adds to the dropping of the current price and many could have been so afraid to invest so that they took their money away. But I am still hoping everything will go back normally up.

Well, not is already september and it keeps dropping, I don't know exactly what it is, what I do know is that if we have found the way to stop this we wouldn't be like this.

I thing, All altcoins price is depend on BTC and ETH, Now Both's currency price is very low, BTC price is $6523 and ETH price is $219. due to altcoins price low. When BTC and ETH price are increasing when Good altcoin price increasing. So at time you can hold all coin when cryptomarket is stable you can sell or buy.

Reason is probably panic sell caused by north korea/china bitcoin/exchange ban fud, also bitconnect shut doors because it was ponzi, people are cashing out because they fear.

Not only that actually. There are so many factors involved in this market fluctuations. However, I think one recent major factor is the ETH having quite a worse reputation. People are getting scared of the depreciation of ETH and everyone knows it would affect altcoins that are erc-20

After huge rise of market there will be a drop. Its normal. Don't worry it will bounce back again.

In many respects, this situation arose because of the decline in BTC prices. While he remains the main coin, king and fashion trendsetter in the crypto market. Also, I believe that now is the time for correction in the market, so this decline looks expected. But from next year the situation should be normalized.
