Bitcoin price at around 1k$ has ben static for the past few days is there something, maybe an event  in the near future that can affect that price in either a positive or negative way?

There's lots of potential news that could move the price up or down like the hard fork issue or the other ETF decision. I think we are in a short period where there is nothing pushing the price either way.

I think everything depends the hardfork now. Maybe some expectatives about BU make the market have some uncertain about what to do.

Anyway, I believe the Bitcoin as we know now will rise again and any attempt of hardfork will fail... But we must keep watching, it's an uncertain climate.

Very likely with the static price of it hovering between (playing if you will :-[ ) $1024-1050 in the last week.
Something is about to happen. It always does. ::)
Expect the upcoming hard fork to make it's mark in a big way.

I guess all my amigos are scared to either buy or sell. They maybe are too cautious with that fork. Once that fork becomes a myth, the investors will show up again!

i think you need to look at a chart instead of checking the price once or twice per day. you'll see that price is not "static" and it never was.
example: https://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/bitfinex/btcusd you can change the time interval to see the volatility in different intervals.

with that said, this much change is not that big so in a sense maybe you can call it "static". and it is positive for accumulation period when you buy coins at a low price before the next rally starts.

Look what happened about the hard fork and ETF rejection, it really affects the price to go down but for me it doesn't really because I keep on believing in bitcoin that it would surpass the issuse. It just roll back a little bit and will rise again soon. BTC is a survivor.

To be in forum, you might know the bitcoin price is always volatile, Therefore value is always bump and dump. In recent days we are seeing continuous fluctuatations. However, price will retain back 1100$ again.

I know the price very well and also that it can go up and down heavy, I have preev open non-stop. :p but I don't have that much time anymore to follow the happenings behind that story, so I'm asking for someone to get me up to date in a a few sentences. Tho the price is steadily going down, dollar by dollar, I was interested what's keeping it that way.

The price has not been static at all in the past few days. It has wildly swung between 1000 and 1200 multiple times.

Bitcoin is testing the waters both ways, but I don't feel the upward trend has been broken yet. A big move is still to come.

I just wish the next event will put a huge increase in the bitcoin price,
I know that all of us wants that to happen.

As we speak, there is no such an event that will push the price towards new highs. Do I want it to happen? Sure. Do I think it's realistic with a potential fork ahead of us? No.

From this point Bitcoin needs to scale in order to move up as we are touching sensitive spots here. People can deny it all day long, but there is no way we can move up much higher without a proper solution.

Whales are buying at this static price before starting to buy all the way upto $1300  ;D
Silence before storm is the term we can use for situation like this

It depends, there are many reasons why bitcoin price fluctuated, rises up and crashes down, hard fork really affects it but there are still more.
Lets just watch our value every now and then. But we hope for great price hike.

The price is going down now. I think people are buy the altcoins to hedge the risk of the hard fork of bitcoin.

Bitcoin price is really going down. Alt coins going up. But not selling now. I still believe that the price can recover soon. Maybe a lot has been in panic mode and dumping their bitcoin now and getting into alt coins. I can only speculate here. This has been the trend in the last week of bitcoin market price. I hope it can bounce back tomorrow.

I would agree with this. The price has fallen down but nothing dramatic and I beleive this will not continue. Temporary dump and correction and the price will recover soon. I.don't think there is a need to sell or panic among users despite the fork announcements and bad predictions.

We will go up for here but dont expect a full recovery guys. I think we will reach the 1100$ level within a week.

I also don't expect anything like a recovery until things have either greatly calmed down, or even solved. I however think the chances of the latter mentioned won't be happening any time soon. Good thing is that the demand will push the price back to +$1000 within 24-48 hours. From there the whole cycle of falling below $1000 and moving over $1000 will repeat itself.

Price is at 964.69 $ level. Is time to move to ethereum?

The time was a week ago ;-)

Ethereum is on (or near) an all time high and bitcoin is very low.

Basically it´s a bad time to buy Ethereum with your Bitcoins.

Never buy on tops, and never sell in dumps. Basic trading knowledge. When you do you will get rekt and you are out of the game for ever.

But i dont think so maximum people follow that. they buy when the price is high expecting the value will get much more but all of a sudden there is a hit. you have to buy/sell when the price gets much more constant. right now i dont think so price is stable it is varying daily yesterday it was somewhere 1050 and today it is 950 and not sure what will happen tomorrow.

Even i dont think so the price is much static it is raising and falling but the value of the changes is not much in the numbers. so we can say it is as good as stable. so i think it is a buy time for us. the price is low today and after  2-3 weeks the price may go high. instead of thinking too much we should invest in btc to get more advantage from it.

This may be a good time to go the other way. Maybe buy Bitcoins with Etherium. I could make some profit if I sell some Etherium right now and buy Bitcoin while it's relatively low.

So the bitcoin price went down to 908$ (by coindesk), what's affecting the price dropping so much? How lower will it go?

Price fluctuation like this is what keeps smaller businesses accepting bitcoin as a payment. :/

I think that is due to the potential of hard fork which might increase the block size. After the issue is resolved, the price will rise again.

U might have heard about hard fork which will increase the block size and the price of bitcoins will start to increase eventually .so have patience and wait for the price hike.

Now Bitcoin's price is back to that static level again.  It will continue to be around there because the uncertainty about a hard fork and most other factors have remained steady for a little while and there seems to be somewhat of a stalemate.

i see the price in more than $1k but i remember the price is getting down in almost 2 weeks ago but the price is back to the normal price. i hope that the price is not going to down and only at around $1k. but now the price it seems will not go in under $1k or up to $1k but i don't know what will happen for next week and i think we will some changing price soon in next week. i think the only affect for this situation is the altcoin price will be increase more higher than before.

From yesterday we say a steady increase in price and it is giving positive impacts till now .but i guess the price will go down from 12 th of april .hope you sell your bitcoins and be prepared to buy the bitcoins from the mid of april ,you will gain a lot of profit.

Well I really do hope you are right since I have some fiat here ready to buy bitcoins at that time but I think I wouldn't sell all that I have left for now since I think there is still a possibility of it going up after the mid of april and it is not sure whether price will go down or not on the 12th of april so for now I will hold what I got and if it really dumped, I will buy if not, I will sell this little by little.

Mind going a bit more in-detail? What's with 12th of April that you think will make the price go down? At this point there are no indications of a market that will move in a different pattern, and thus the market will just continue bouncing up and down as it has been doing in the last weeks. Basically everyone with at least a certain bit of market understanding is able to spot that. I just assume you are guessing, where if your prediction becomes reality, you'll tell everyone that you were right, and when your prediction doesn't meet, you'll just silently move on.

generally speaking you should never even pay attention to anything you read on bitcointalk. there is nothing happening by that date and google didn't show anything either.
and even if there was something, there is no way of speculating about price the way he did which leads to the conclusion of him saying some random comment here!

probably his wishes not speculation.

i think it will never decrease now on $1000 price range because comparing today than last year theres a new and more user and investors in bitcoin right now thats why i conclude that bitcoin will be stable in $1000 no need to be worry about. and if theres some changes or big changes it should increase when we depend on the graph chart.

What so special with the 12 of April? Do you have any source that will back up your claim? Bitcoin price has been steadily climbing as I wrote this. Bitcoin price is not good enough for you to even attempt to instill a sense of fear in the minds of other bitcoin enthusiast here?
I think users here are smart enough and use their better judgement in seeing comments like this in our community. This is purely speculation on your end. The market price of bitcoin is moving and I doubt this kind of FUD will not affect and do harm for the bitcoin ecosystem.

I think it was only his guessing as he saw that for the past some days the price is going up steady and their may be correction in second week. Their may be some correction but it will recover it immediately and very soon we will see another ATH very soon.

That's not completely correct. After the surge in price in Jan-Feb I also thought the same that price won't go below $1000 but as we have seen due to the BU debate and rumor of har fork, the price almost touched 800. But currently I think the price is stabilizing and also rising so I wouldn't expect a drop right away, but you never know.

Why do you mark  12th April?
is there sometink to consider about that mark?

For me nobody knows what will the price happen, only the market can decide it lol. But this is the true only the market can stabilized the price, plus we need always a good news everyday so that all bitcoiners will not "Panice Sell" as of now the price is playing @$1,130 to $1,260.....

The reason that the price drops at $900 because of the hard fork (Bad News), and the reason why bitcoin price is rising now because "Japan want to recognizes bitcoin" (Good News)

So the thing that all bitcoiners will do to stabilized the price always in 4 digits is don't always listen in Bad News.... Always think positive

Is a strategy of OP to buy cheap coins, not ears OP


We have to take advantage of this high price.

Yeah, I was also wondering what's with the 12th of April. But on the contrary, isn't it the price of bitcoin is going up and we are one week before the date you mentioned, so it the price will go down in a week, we should have some sort of resemblance right now that it is going down? but I'm still seeing $1130 currently. So I doubt it will go down in 12th of April.

I know, but regardless of something making sense or not, if you say something targeted at a specific time frame, you should go in-detail and explain what it is that will cause the price to go up or down. It could be that he thinks a specific non Bitcoin related event might cause the Bitcoin market to shake up. We don't know this because he didn't explain anything, and that's exactly what I am asking for - clarification of his statement.

That's a good thinking. I, for one, am completely for HODL so I don't just panic sell if I hear a news that might possibly drop BTC's price but unlike me, there are traders dealing with thousands of BTC just to make profit and if they see even a small chance that they might lose a lot, they panic sell and the price comes tumbling down.

most of the sales are done to make profit, it can be when they sell higher than they have bought to make profit or it can be selling just to have money in hand to buy at the bottom you may even lose a little but when you buy back at the bottom you make it all back and then some.
