Apparently, for the last 3 years, January was the worst month for Bitcoin because of the Asian lunar new year. here.
I'm not 100% if that's enough data to call it a pattern but it's a reason non the less.
More likely it has to do with the shutdown of the platform Bitconnect.
They have given loans (BTC) back in BCC tokens based on a 15 days average of the closing price registered on coinmarketcap.com.
But considering the value of the token has dropped to $15 in a day while it was worth hundreds before this is clearly not a very good deal.
It does make one wonder what they will do with all the BTC they are sitting on.
I guess that is one of the reasons for panic and drop in BTC price.
And as always. As BTC goes down it drags the rest with it.
