Apparently coinbase is also down right now. I wonder how much of an effect that has on the price dipping.

Yes, Exhanges go down an awful lot when price goes down. It's been a good indicator for years. I'm just not entirely sure which comes first and why they go down...

There's probably something to both the market in general affecting it and DDOSing a big exchange. I'm still uncertain however. Remember MtGox? It used to go down after the price started dropping, but then again that might be because a DDOSer saw his opportunity.

I was also wondering that. Which comes first, the chicken or the egg ~

Something had to give right. I was just surprised that after the 4000 mark it kept on going for an entire day and a half.
