Have you kept the manacles and whip, just in case ?
 

Why's it dropped off so much recently? Seemed to be pretty stable ~£5k before? Not got any, but followed the thread/rise-and-fall with interest.

Greed drove it up. Fear is driving it down.

I've always observed that nobody ever asks "Why is it going up?" when it is doubling in price every month.. they think its because they're a genius with some sort of insight seeing something in the market that the idiots sitting on the sides just don't get, but everyone asks "why it is going down?" when it loses half its value. That should tell you something about human pyschology.

All markets are driven ultimately by human emotion. Most of we the time are fairly rational and kept in check and price reflect fundamentals, but sometimes you get a runaway bubble where all sense of fundamental evaluation goes out of the window.

Bitcoin and other crypto currencies have an intrinsic value that is very close to zero. No reason why over time the bubble deflates and the market return to rationality that it won't be driven back down towards that level.

Sure I get that, but it's been pretty level for 4/5 months, then all of a sudden dropped 20% the last couple days. Must be some other factor involved at this point. As far as I can see hasn't dropped that low at all in the interveening period.

The market realising what it is / was I suppose... And backing right out of it

It`s due to @Kev The Rat having sold his house, his car, even a kidney and now has nothing left to sell to buy his bitcoins, so the market has crashed.

Yeah, I agree it hung onto the 6k support level for a good number of months, which isn't really that typical. One interpretation could be that it probably needed a period of calm after such a volatile Q1/Q2 this year to firm up the bulls and repair the terrible sentiment that had built up in to set up the conditions for the next sustained leg down, which is what we have seen lately.

One thing that is futile is to look at news events and trying to apportion price action to headlines. Most people get this the wrong way round; the price action dictates the news narrative, the news doesn't drive the price.
