Before we begin, check out this chart from today and notice the drop.
And this one...
And this...
A "price drop" is not exactly the right words to describe the above charts. A "sophisticated sell off" is probably more accurate to describe the huge price cliffs in a lot of top MC cryptos. If you notice, all of these drops are at about the same time of day, today.

Not really. The Wall St whales are "dumping their pumps".
If you click around CoinMarketCap and check out the days trading for the top 20, you will see that quite a number of the coins we all know and love have been dumped and the price has tumbled.
While the markets are well overdue for a price correction and return to real world, use-case evaluations, I doubt this a natural correction. Prices have gone up and up and up over the past half week. Presumably caused by the injection of more and more money into the markets. Thereby delaying a price correction due to newbie hype and an influx of big money into the crypto sphere.
I think what we are are seeing right now, as indicated by the charts, is the effect of all that Wall St mega-money sloshing around. We are seeing the whales dump their coins and make gains except that it's not as majestic as watching whales swim in the ocean. When Wall St and big money exits the water, it leaves the market in a downward upheaval.
Interesting to note if you are buying in right now.
For the rest of us 'low budget investors' who will pick over the corpse like hungry ravens, looking for a discount bargain, be patient. Do your math. As the prices of all coins are super inflated, avoid buying into the 25% price tags as the compounded gains over the last week put the prices still at an overinflated price tag.
