There has been a drop of twenty billion dollars ($20bn) in market capitalization and Bitcoin, which had maintained a good position; dropped down a thousand dollars in a matter of hours.

It declined from seven thousand and seven hundred dollars ($7,700) to six thousand and two hundred and sixty-two dollars ($6,262).

Crypto-world is volatile and is continuously fluctuating, therefore, any speculation about the price of any coin is not certain.

The abrupt decline is said to be because of 5000BTC sell order at the front of Bitstamp as indicated by many tweets.

Many people are sceptical as dumping thirty-six million dollars ($36,3mn) of BTC and flash crash the crypto-market was a shocking scenario.

The probable cause of this would be market manipulation. Also, there can be involvement of BitMex as it utilizes Bitstamp and Coinbase in its price index.
