There was an even bigger dive a few weeks ago to 300, news channels just didn't have a story, and I'm sure if Snoop Dogg said bitcoin was useless back then, they would have used that... "Bitcoin dive after Snoop Dogg loses faith in the currency..."
bitcoin has moved between 850 and 1226 TWICE this week. Yesterday, and last Sunday.
I know, because my coinbase didn't come through till last Tuesday.
