BTC/USD seems to be stabilised at around $420-$430.

Thoughts and predictions where it's going to next?

Probably building a new floor here indeed. Next will be to pass the high of last month, which means we will go over 500 usd, probably touch 550 briefly first.
Building new normals is very important at the moment as this will be the level it will return to on dumps.

400+ untill thursday 520 by friday or saturday

Looks like it only settling for short time. I expect to price hit at least 500 by end of year. Market is pretty bullish recently.

Went from $470 yesterday back down to $420 though.

Calling a swing of 2.5% in 12 hours stable  ???

420 is quite a nice price, but it is too early (just 1 day has passed) to say it is settling there.
Let's wait a few more days and see what the bulls/bears decided is a fair price.

Part of the action. It also went from 500 to 300 and back to 470 again.
Anything can happen, but there are no real signs that tell me we are going to be dropping in general at the moment.

Haha yes, let's wait for the next few dats to see what is gong to happen.
If we hold 420 it's safe to say that 420 could be a potential new low, which would be just great right!

I think it'll be interesting how things turn out today.

i have never thought the price to go sub $400. the dump was just a big whale cashing out some of his coins. now the selling is over, we can continue where we left. i still think we will go over $500 this month.

Yeah I share the same thoughts as the writer above. Some whale cashed out lot of coins and that's it. Trend is still upwards and $500 might be reality next week already.

It sticks at 420 For a while before moving upward again and becoming $420 Euro's
Basically 420 Carries on and on for a while :)

I hope that's true.

No doubt from here

that is perfectly fine. New floor needs to be found, and the area above $400 is already much more than I was hoping for the end of 2015. Taking that earlier predictions into account, this current price action seems to overshoot a little bit, going back to the top of 2015 range ($502) again. That is why we have a sharp drop right now. Let's see where it stops.

I was only mildly surprised by this, but I'm glad it didn't fall through $420.  Maybe it's time to go smoke something. ;D

We'll see how long it stays settled.

We can see everyone here and in trading ground have strong believe that price will rise to 500 so that psychology seems to work making 420 new buttom . We may see 500+ by end of december, i am holding for now.

$ 500 would be the highest price towards the close of the year. Christmas and long holiday greatly affect the current price.

Stabilising atm then a push towards 500 for Xmas followed by a drop to around 420.

I think that the price is actually settling this time.

I mean it has been volatile for so long, it's a good to to have a floor of around $420.

Well, gotta agree with the majority here; I think price will maintain the current value for several days, and will go upwards again before the next weekend. Its probable that the increase in price in the last 7 weeks (we're now talking about roughly $150 up in that period) has 'generated' enough trust for more people to go ahead and buy.

I think it will rise until christmas, up to $550 and then fall back just belo 400, like $370 somewhere.

yeah the price seems to be pretty stable and thats a good thing i dont want to rimember the times when the price was two times lower lets hope it will never happen again as that would be a massive loss for me

Obvious text book bear flag. Whether it tests low ($403), or finds a new low remains to be seen.

$420 - $430 isn't too bad, not at all actually. I think it may stay around this value up until next week or so and then we might hit $500 somewhere in the week of Christmas.

I agree with your statement. The value just kept going down yesterday, I was afraid to look so I stopped. I was afraid it would go back down to below $400.
I'm glad it didn't and since it stayed above the $400 mark, I still believe we have a chance to hit $500, if it stays this way, it's not that bad either.

Right now it is safe to say we are in an unpredictable market. The price can go up and down. That's the scenario.
Setting at 420 will be safe to say if we have this price for a couple of weeks. Not a few hours or a day.

420 is the new floor.

Next we will be attacking the 500 level, as we already did with all the previous barriers since the 200's

The market has been unpredictable since the very beginning. Last days are good moments for purely traders to sell if they bought sub $300. Believers will keep holding no matter what.

Seems stable for the moment im hopping for another jump and hitting 450 wall again and that will be next stable price

The price is sitting nowhere. It's as volatile as hell. No way a safe range can be determined at this mometn.
I think we will have wait a few more days and see where the price will be settling down.

I think bitcoin will be just stable around 450 dollars at the end of the year.
If doesn;t go what I speculate this price is also oke.

I think it wont. My thoughts are it goes up untill christmas to around 500 dollars and then falls back to steady $400. So we actually see slow climbing (from stable 270 to 330 etc). So everytime it goes up it will fall down again, but higher then it was when the upwards trend started.

tl:dr
It will go higher than 450 but then fall to 400 by the end of the year.

it looks stable, if we stay around this price level for a longer while then people can buy more as some of them are waiting for their salary to post.

lets hope it will not fall down back to 300

Yeah but i dont hope price like now until new year, so in the next year we have new bottom and maybe next year we don't see again price below $400

A settling price around $420 must be good sign for reaching $500. The charts of 200 days moving average analysis are saying more strong up trend. I believe we are going into the new year with bitcoin prices are above $500 levels.

yes currently price is stable and jump are here and down you can make some in this up down trend but i dont expect to go over 450 and maintain 450 maybe we will see break in january

current prices will be stable until date 20th and will jump $500 when approaching Christmas and end of year :)

Yeah it looks that way, but don't forget that bitcoin can also go down just saying.
I also believe that goes to 500 dollar so lets just hope that our speculations well be true.

I believe this will happen as well but I doubt that bitcoin will stay around $500 for long.
I think it will go back down to $450 and stay there until at least the end of the year.

I thought it would settle down as well as some people here. It obviously didn't, it's still growing in value as we speak.
This just proves to me once again that bitcoin is very unpredictable and you should expect the unexpected.

So investors make sure to follow the market closely.

Well I hope that bitcoin before the end the years will just settle around 450 - 500 dollars.
That is nice to see. At least for me, because I bought bitcoins when it was at 300 dollars.

The bitcoin price has been settled maybe at $450, currently it is $460 which i expect to be $500 by the end of the week.

Don't get tricked into thinking the price will go to $500 at the end of the week. One large dump can change things massively. I think we will touch $500 at least after Christmas.

not so bad if the end of the year not to touch $500, we waited block halving and this will be more than $500 :)

It's still not very stable, it might even go back to 350$ or even less in few days, just like always first rise then low price

I have been predicting this all through this time that bitcoin price will be around $600 in March.It will stay between $600-$500 for next two months

Alltough the price seems to have been climbing back up to 400 usd the moment seems good to buy bitcoin. But remember this can be temporary.
There only buy if you can lose that money. 350 USD seems to be a better price to buy in.

less than $350 will be very difficult now, and would require solid bear arguments. Very unlikely, imo. We are still range bounded by the channel $350-415, so a pull back to the middle of that range, around $380 would be something not really surprising. But the bottom at $350 looks solid, atm.

Naah. I can see the price go down like $10-$20 from the current price of $404, but not much lower than that. I hope we will continue this flow to around $450 this month. I'm happy with any price above $400 right now. :)

That's true, $350 is the perfect price to buy as the price might reach to $500 after halving so earning $150 as a profit on one coin is the best return to have.

Ok, This is a 2-month old thread.
After the retreat from the December highs, I would be happy if the price stayed above $400 now.
I wouldn't be too greedy.

Considering the halving above $400 could be a new  stable price.

420,blaze it, and of course it's nice to finnaly see stable bitcoin again, more people would use them

and that's nice thing, more stable bitcoin is, more people will start to use them, so it's better for us too

yeah price stable in around $415. nope. its not better dude. if youre trader you want more volatile than this

Yeah even I have saw that, today the bitcoin value is 417$ now There is a chance to grow more I think because price is striking good to Dollar.
Hopefully great price ahead.

You should maybe just wait a little longer. I hope that it will be more worth so you can sell it for a higher value.
There is also a risk that you can lose some money. If the value is going down. But we must hope for not that is going to happen.

No, it's not going to rise after halving. Lots of noobs are hallucinating, maybe greed has blinded them, they believe halving will automatically force a price rise. Not gonna happen. 380 to 420 seem to be where the real price resides and that's where it will remain for a long time to come.

would be nice if price would stuck at 420$, first of all we would see stable bitcoin, and second  420$ is a very nice number,  i think it would attract more users becouse everyone would thought same

If the price stays around $420 for several months, it could be good for the stability of the bitcoin as a currency.

after 4 months, today the price touch 420 again  ::)  what happened in this 4 months??

stability is not what bitcoin needed right now, bitcoin is trading asset so it should have some up and down movement to attract more traders.

Sustaining prices are more important in long term perspective. Staying around $420 is a good sign to take off towards $500 price levels. Hopefully 2016 first quarter will give us bitcoin prices above $500 levels.

it's nice to see that, sad that no price rise, but atleast we don't have price drop at this moment, price rise would be very good now because of upcoming halving, if price will be higher now, it will be higher later too

Before every price upsurge, there would be a sustaining prices. So, stable prices are good symptoms and we need not to worry about not going high. Settling at $420 levels will lead to $450 and $500 in quick successions.

my Thoughts and predictions for bitcoin prices is still same the prices will still above $400 till next month for the highest prices i guess $450 will be the top

Yeah, better to hold our bitcoins for few months, and its really good to see that the value of bitcoin is stable at a moment, So I am trying to buy few bitcoins and will keep it safe for next couple of months.

The value of bitcoin is much less volatile than the last 6 months. It is good for the long term investment now.

How do you measure that it is less volatile? Probably your observation window is too small.

yeah this year long term investment is looks safety because everybody think halving is closer just less than 3 month but that still a prediction from some people "say after halving price will rise." we got the answer after halving see price down or up

Even though it has been passed 3 months since the first post in this topic, the price of bitcoin is the same ~415 USD, i think that the massive grow of ethereum has take traders to trade from bitcoin to ethereum but i believe that bitcoin will not go under $400 this month.

Wait why bother with another alt coin price bubble?

So many bad events happened this pass year esp when cryptsy incident as well. Its more of a penny stock situation unless its going to stay around long enough like litecoin.

I still think that the network effect make bitcoin independent from the other altcoins. That is the case with ETH, too. In contrast, altcoins are very prone to changes of Bitcoin price.

There surely will be a few traders that have made the BTC/ETH ticker their main ticker, but it's just a matter of time before the insanely high price comes down. It will probably take a few month as the ETH hype is still running strong.

I seriously dont get what the hype is about.

Esp when a major alt coin exchange vanishes after being on this forum for like 2 years + that should pretty much worry them..

I can see why some hold value cause like just-dice they use clams, but i dont get with ETH.

Ethereum is getting major attention as of late maybe that's casting a shadow over bitcoins

Keep hearing about that coin and yet I have no idea what its value is, have to look into it

Bitcoin should go up at least 2 more times before the summer I would think. Usually dips in Sept. If I recall correctly.

go check it out. it is a very interesting "Market".
but if you ask me ETH is 99% hype 1% an altcoin that you want to check out. this massive hype is the reason why you keep hearing about it every corner you turn.

p.s. it is at the end of a bubble about to burst (possibly?)

Couldnt agree more about ETH 99% hype,with all the new about ETH on how good its is,and a recent black propaganda saying "bitcoin is dead move to eth" seems like eth is the one dying and its "15 minutes of fame" is over.

next month 500$

because this month up to 460$

I am surprised how strong Bitcoin is. Have expected to we dive down to 350ish due to all fud, attacks and shit around Bitcoin but price really settles at 400-420ish. Bitcoin really show its strength these days and i am very optimistic about future because if price resist all that crap around, we can expect bright future when all that ends.

Its hard to say for what is going to happen in the future with the value. And of course we all hope that the price will rise for a long time. But you dont know when it will start and that is the problem.
I hope that a lot of people can get some profit of it and that they are also using Bitcoin very much. That will be great.

Whales & miners are obviously on Blockstream side, it's the only reason it's not dropping like a rock. Fundamentals were never been worse. It's a miracle it's priced like this, it's a miracle hy whales & miners are supporting Blockstream. But I guess 75 mil USD were carefully spent on bribing....

of course they are supporting blockstream. i don't expect anything else from them. they know everything will be sorted out, so they don't have anything to worry about. there is too much fud at the moment. the majority of this fud is aimed against bitcoin. and look, bitcoin is holding pretty strong.

Casting shadow over Bitcoin? Come on, these are big words. You should spare them when something really big happens. For now, Bitcoin seems unthreatened and let's where ETH in the dump aftermath. As I believe after such a strong hype, a solid dump is imminent.

I also believe the same “next month $500” , as in the previous it reached from $380 to $440 within only one week so there is still 14 days in the next month and hope it cross $500 in the next month.

if the past is any indication then $500 is possible to happen but i think it is not going to happen in the next month unless something happens.

something like ETH dump or some kind of news about bitcoin itself (consensus maybe!)

You never know what will happen with the value and that is the problem. We all hope of course that it will be more worth.
But you dont have it under control and that is bad. So you must take risks when you are going to make an investment.

after three month, the price is still in the same levels between 450 and $400. but as the halving is getting closer, I believe that the price will bypass this level to $500 soon within the few next weeks

positive true, bitcoin will touch more than $600 after halving and for me bullish trend will start in april price up slowly. situation now it's like trader is make new bottom price for bitcoin maybe they see halving come in this year.

whats next? price rise, not large, by 20$, but small pump will happen for sure, i remember lots of stable bitcoin weeks and almost always, next week, we had a bitcoin rise, then of course small dump and back to almost same price as before

but if bitcoin would stay herefor longer, then of course it would be very very nice thing

Yes, it is No.1 crypto currency among all other and strongest too, it was invented first and all other are just copies of it, so no one can compete it and can replace it in the struggle for become more attractive crypto currency. So, no wonder in it's prices settling above $400 price levels.

Yes that is the price we can expect in long run as I don't see it falling $400 as we are expecting that price will rise in future, but I don't think it will fall below  $400 in future.

I'm pretty surprised that the price has held as well as it has since the fall to 390.  I was almost sure that we were going to be heading back to the 350 range, yet we bounce right back up.  I guess the hype from the halving is making people pick up all the 'cheap coins' that they can.

The price at 420 dollar is pretty stable, well not exactly stable of course because the bitcoin never been stable but its staying around this price.
And I think it will be for a pretty long time here, it will maybe go to the 500 dollar slowly.

Its good to see that it is stable and rising slowly and we can expect $500 at the time of halving or before that, but it won't go back below to $400.

there was quite a bunch of support lines already at $380s and I suppose that is what worked quite well as a support. All and all, breaking $350 would be quite a task that would require really bearish setup.
Having said that, I also don't see many arguments in favour of going higher. I believe this price reflects the status quo: many people (already invested) hyping halving and lack of real new developments that could further spur the adoption of Bitcoin.

I love this current stability in bitcoin price. For this year it has bouncing between 350- 450 and perhaps it is a good sign of a decreased volatility, which actually it is not so bad although I have no doubt that greedy investors and speculators would desire to see a violent bouncing all the time.

I think everyone is not so greedy right now with the current price of bitcoin, 430$ is still a decent price.
They know when to be greedy as right now the demand for bitcoin is not much needed.

Yes, bitcoin is the first crypto currency of the digital world currency, so more people believe on it and feel fear from other which have came after it. Only traders are on other coins just to earn with them, while for normal use they adopt bitcoin.

The price will not be stable for long. Because Bitcoin is a currency it is always changing and that is really unpredictable.
But we all know that the halving is coming and we all hope that it will be very good for Bitcoin. But you never know what will happen....

Once the halving happens the price of bitcoin might double or the difficulty needs to be cut in half too.

For a number of people the future of bitcoin is doubtful, but if you study the strategy of its value fluctuation you will notice that the price will definitely increase and will love it. A number of its price increase predictions comes after deep research.

Yeah and even if it doesn't reach to moon we want that price should be more stable as if the price is stable then it will motivate many people to invest their money into it.

Everyone wants a stable price for bitcoin,lets just be optimistic about it,if the price goes up to the moon no one can even buy with that amount.

if what you say it's true, i guess it's good for bitcoin because price get settling around $400 that will be the new bottom bitcoin price. in my opinion it's same like when bitcoin stay at $220.

The mid-term bottom still sits at $350. There is nothing technically to support the price at $400, it is only a psychological line.

no it won't stay here for long, it's falling now, and will stay at 400$ for now, i don't think that is horrible thing to be honest, in this month we had lots of pumps and dumps already but that's okay for bitcoin since we will always have sellers so bitcoin won't fall too much

The value is always changing and that is the problem. You can see now that the price is rising slowly and that is very good.
It is good for those people who already has made an investment and that is very good, but you never know when it will stop rising.

phsychological support is also quite strong in certain scenarios. but right now the $400 level has barely any support. currently at bitstamp only 1180BTC is needed to get the price below $400 which can get dumped through in just a second.

Well its a bit settling if you ask me because the fact is that the bitcoin is rising all the time and than lowering a bit so that is pretty okay if you ask me.
The price is at around 400 dollar in my opinion and there its also settling.

Yeah anything around $400 is good value to hold, as if it goes below $400 then majority of us would be very disappointed but it is rising at a moment and it will continue to rise.

That is true that in case of Bitcoin psychology is sometimes more important than TA.
Anyway, $400 is kind of weak support, if any, atm.

we can not say that it will continue to rise as bitcoin price is really unpredictable and it can start falling at any time soon right now because people might just start dumping their coins for no reason

though im happy to see that the price is going up slowly but surely right now, lets hope these trends will continue and i will make some good money out of it

$420 is a good price. For a long time the price is fluctuating around the quoted price of $420. Its expected to grow on halving.

OP is right, price is really settling around $420, and it seems like the price would just be playing around it or lower...Two months from now there will be a significant price increase...After a few months, I think we will be back to this price and most probably we'll be playing around $420 and up..

from the time of OP until now the price has gone down to <$400 and backup again.

but anyways i feel like history is repeating itself. i remember $230 was the same thing going on and there was a very short moment that price went below and the rise up to 230 again and then after a couple of months it started going up to 300 and same story and now 400 and same story?

For a long time bitcoin price is stabilizing around $410 to $420. Increase in price is expected by the coming months.

I think the bitcoin price will increase a lot after the halving. The halving will reduce the supply of new coins.

Have you realised that by then already 75% of all coins will be mined? meaning, you could use the coins already mined to drive the price of Bitcoin arbitrary low and, for example, get rid of the mining competitors from the market.

After reading some (various) threads about btc price speculation before/after the halving, i came to a conclusion and i hope you guys could help me on this: we cannot know if the btc price will go up or down, but can we agree that will not stable like is sort of happening now (december-march)?

EDIT: can we call this $420-430 flutuation stable?

PS: sorry for my english, not my native language.

Thank You.

Price is volatile, from time to time it moves up and down, we can't predict its movement and I don't think it settled at $420 - $430, it keeps on moving, even now, it goes up above $420 last day and drop to lower  than $410 yesterday... So, in conclusion price is unpredictable, as answer to OP's question..

The price is still only $425. So the price has not changed much over the last 8 days. It is quite stable now.

Actually, if read the original post, you'd have noticed the date was in December 2015. So, the price hasn't moved since December 2015 til now.

The price of bitcoin is quite stable recently. It could be good for it to be used as a currency or investment.

Yes the price is now stable and is currently going up this is a good sign for bitcoin because of this we will see more user of bitcoin.

Stability is the key to the success of the bitcoin. When the bitcoin is too volatile, the merchant will have to sell the bitcoin they receive instantly.

The price actually did move in between December and now. Having the same start and end doesn't mean that time between them was flat. We had up move to $450 and we went down to $360.
If you managed to buy at $380s and sell at $430 that is quite a chunky gain.

The price of bitcoin has reached the price set in the last December. So it is good recovery from the recent lows.

The price is quite stable for the last two months. That bodes well for the medium price rise after halving.

The price is now still on its way to go and hit $500 any time soon. It will happen I think with in this month or if not the next month. So for the people who want to sell this can be the perfect time for you.

I also think the price could reach $500 later this month and next months. that is after long time consolidation.

The price was stable for a long time and many people dont like it because they want to earn profit of course but that is not possible now so they have now to wait a longer time.
And not everyone has the patience for it so some people are also making mistakes and that is bad because they dont have the patience to wait.

These people do not realise that the stable price will attract more investors and the price will rise in the future.

The price will be not stable and as you can see now you see also that more people is going to be more worth and that is because the halving is also coming towards to us.
So that is perfect but the bad thing is that we cant know when it will stop rising and that is bad.

The stability is all relative. In my opinion, the bitcoin price has been stable for the last 5 months.

I guess it's not entirely bad, maybe the price is not stable and up and down will make the trading was in profitable, you know how to play the trading? buy when prices fall and selling when riding, I guess if the price falls, people will buy, and when prices go up they will sell

Coming days the price might get settled around $450. The price around it looks to be stable like the days when the price of bitcoin was around $385 for a long time, which suddenly boosted to a big price increase.

That could well happen. From the Core Development road map, the SegWit was supposed to be released in April, it could be release in the near future.

That could be the reason for the big rise recently. The big block size will also more transactions to go through.

The price of the Bitcoin is now going to rise slowly and that is really nice for the people with already Bitcoin so that is perfect so they can earn some more money later.
But of course it will be really hard to know what will happen later in the future but the value of the Bitcoin was already stable for a long time so the time to rise must be soon.

It would be good for the bitcoin price to rise slowly. If the price just rises 5% a month, it will rise a lot in long term.

The bitcoin price has risen over 60% in the last 60 days. It is much faster than 5% a months. Is that good?

Price will keep on going higher now and it will not drop till the halving is done, so it would be better to hold our coins till we see the best price of bitcoin.

Feels so so good,,how much more if bitcoin climb + 50 per day before halving starts?  2000$ can be next goal of.bitcoin and it will another history to bitcoin.

I happen to think the odds are far greater in favor of BTC going to $5000 than it going to $5 actually. So I partially disagree.
I do agree though that you should not invest more than you can afford to lose, but that goes for pretty much any investment.

I think the bitcoin will go to $5000 some day in the future, but it could be 3 to 5 years. $5 is not possible.

I also think so. If there is no major flaw found in the bitcoin, its price will rise with the increase of users in the future.

The price is settling around the $630 at the moment. I think the price will be here before the halving. It might rise after.

I think it is good for the price to trade within a certain range. That is to absorb some profit taking after recent big rise.

That is right. As long as there is no big bubble and the price of bitcoin rises year after year, it is fine.

The bitcoin block size is to be increased soon, that could improve the user experience and raise the price.

The bitcoin developers are still testing that. After through test, they will release to the public soon.

I hope they will test it well, so there will not be big problems like what happened to the Etheruem.

of course the price is going to be rised by that and in my opinion we will get a good chance to make some money if we will buy a lot of bitcoins right now

If you can buy 100 bitcoin now, you can retire happily with those 100 bitcoin in 20 years. That will be worth a lot.

thats true, the price is definitely going to go up pretty soon, in my opinion this will safely allow you to retire pretty soon and the price will not stop growing

well price now is not even close to 420$, price is 640$ atm and yes price now is very stable but i hope that soon price will rise

Stable  price is good sign for new investors who wants to invest their money in bitcoin and its also good to see that price didn't drop after the halving.

I was glad that the price drop before the halving. That reduced the possibility of the price bubble. So good.

The price is very stable now. It is almost the same as that a month ago. So it could be a good currency.

Seems like we are now at new stable.bottom which is the 600$mark. I think bitcoin will surprise us for a price increased but we dont know when will it happen.

sure the bottom price can be $600, the recent upward move make bitcoin to hit high. the reasons for any move can have a reaction, it’s best to keep in mind that this is still a relatively thin market.

i hope that the price is going to increase soon too, 420 days are long gone right now, 600 dollars is the new bottom and the price will soon shoot to the sky
