Please vote how long you would say it will take for the markets to stabilise.
I personally say 3 weeks before they are to the level of yesterday.

i am not sure about it but i think it can take almost 2 weeks for the markets to stabilize again.

probaly it will stabalize after new years. This is what I think

I am not sure where to vote so i will say on here i think it will take 3 days to be back around the 15-16k mark. Then upwards by new year. That was just one hell of a shake out scaring all the new comers and taking their hard earned fiat off them..
crypto can be brutal at times and this is just another case.

1 week  :D

It will not take much time for the market to recover, I believe that the incident that took place in one of the biggest exchange really create a panic in the altcoin market generally. So it have create panic among many investors including myself. As a result of this can negatively affect the altcoin market. I can say from next weekend the market will stabalize.

I think everything will calm down only next year, when there is not much activity on the market due to holidays

I think it will last a week like what Bitcoin and other coins do.
I'm seeing this case like Bitcoin because it's pretty obvious that most currencies are dropping due to special holiday season and it's the first time in the market that all coins are affected massively.

If this dropping will continually affects for a couple of weeks or more then it will be ok by next year because everyone is expecting that Bitcoin and Altcoins will be pumped back more than the highest value next year. 2018 is the best year for cryptocurrencies so I'm so excited for what's going on.

we have the same guess and speculation. I think a week is enough for a correction but people concluded that this event is due to a worldwide special holiday season so people and investors prefer to dump their coins Bitcoin and Altcoins and instead buy some gifts for their loved ones.
I also thinking that way, I almost give up my coins and buy a gift for my family.

Before New Year's day it will recover again, just remember my words, it will be over $16000 during those times.
We all are waiting to see how it happens, but i am pretty sure that it is going to recover. Maybe a lot of people are scared, but i am confident about it.

It will take minimum 5 to 6 days to recover and till next week the correction will be done and the market will stabilize.

I think month end and first week of the new year can see the volume back and thus the prices too, but it is crypto anything is possible.

An interesting fact, when most think that going up the market goes down, when most think that the market goes down the market goes up, that is the paradox at this time. Knowing this, I went to sleep with Bitcoin $ 18,500 and woke up with $ 11,598. It's difficult to predict.

First week of January. That has always been a strong time for markets historically, both traditional and crypto.

If we hit below $10K, then I assumed that the next scenario will be the buying back mode. Right now we are sitting at above $13K, very strong resistance, but if this is also broken, then expect the price to hit <$10K. So there's no definite time how long this crash or when the recovery phase will begin.

But once it recovered, there will be another massive bull run, pushing the price again above $16K. So probably give it a week starting today and see where it goes. Market just went crazy will all this dumping though. Totally unexpected as everyone is looking for that elusive $20K at the end of the year.

As long as it does not drop below 10k before Christmas  I believe we shall see recovery before the New Year.

It was a few hours, let it rise for Xmas

I think market will stabilise after christmas, and 2018 will be a year with so many good gains ;)

as a newbie you can't open a poll. ;D
i think it will recover fast but not too fast. yesterday was peak level, it won't go up same way in a couple of weeks. it needs to rest some. in this market we can't be %100 sure about anything. we are just small fish.

I think it's gonna take around 2-3 months to start going up again like mad. That's usually what happened after August-Sept rise.

Few days i would say that we will have a small bounce back on christmas and re test the current buy wall on 15k.New ath or comeback on 18k is highly unlikely as there are no good news coming out for crypto atm,mostly fud,We could see alts taking over the run next year but we will have to wait and see it at least untill the end of january

You ask us to vote but there is no poll. Ironic :P

Yeah it didt work sorry:p

I can see that the market is starting already to recover, i think that in 2-3 days after Christmas it will be back as it was before the crash.

I still hope that the new rise of bitcoin will be in a week. This is my foreboding, nothing more.  ::)

In my opinion, latest news about coinbase and the hack attack occured to etherdelta are the main reasons of the actual decrease in the market and this what did really happened with each big problem in the ethereum network. It should not take a long time before stabilization of the community psychology. I don't think this issue may hit the first January so just keep calm and watch. It's a big opportunity for buyers to hold more and more.

I guess it will stabilize in few days maybe 3 or 4. I just hope everything will be enjoying their gains before new year. Some panic seller are gone for good after realizing their mistake. It is indeed scary seeing a correction like that, can't blame them though. Can see some coins are recovering right now.

I think that today and tomorrow the whole market will recover as before the storm of the day. Currently, bitcoin is slowly recovering when the buy command has increased and pumjp is waiting, the other altcoin is also changing. After Christmas day the market will recover strongly.

"Crypto"

"Stabilize"

Choose one.

Wait till after Christmas when Chinese New Year comes around, big gains around there.

Based on Bitcoins recovery from previous corrections I say it will take about 40 days.

Probably after this year will end in which spending time for the holiday seasons are over. People are very busy right now of preparing things for these events like Christmas and New Year celebration in which most of the people are very busy and always spending for the preparations but for the next year everybody will back to focus on trading and investing again.

In my opinion, it may take only half a month to recover to the look of these days, a big drop at the end of may, and then rise again in early June. ;D

I think it will take 1 to 2 months to recover the market because the price has already fallen into.

Around 2-4 weeks maybe. 4 weeks is the maximum length of recovery time. Maybe after all of the exchange sites are fixed and after this holiday season. A lot have been selling their coins due to the holiday season, ofcourse people need money to buy gifts. A lot also did panic selling because of the hacking of exchange sites.

Crypto moves fast.  Honestly, it’s hard to even think of this as a “crash” since it just pulled to where it was a couple of weeks ago. 

I think it will even out and start to increase again within a few days. 

In my opinion, the restoration of previous levels will take 2-3 weeks. Crypto currency has always restored its positions after the falls, but each time it happens faster and faster.

I wonder is there such chaos in the market occurs every time before Christmas and New year?

I believed that bitcoin would break 22k level until this huge dump. But I hope until new year eve Bitcoin can break 16k level. After 1st of January I believe that bitcoin will gone wild. Until the end of January I am waiting 25k level.

BTC could most certainly dump harder. May see 8-10k for a little while.

$5-6k possible too but not sure. Alts would get wrecked, which would be awesome to see.

After the new year I think things will pick up. There will be new anoincments coming in to start Q1 of 2018. With all the new investors getting settled from the holidays and people get back in there normal routines things should pick up. Still some great opportunities out there currently. Invest wisely and you can boost your portfolio. Hopefully we all can make some nice profits to start the new year.

If you are asking about stabilization, then I think it is happening right now. The price of bitcoin is stabilizing at 15k since yesterday, and altcoins are up there too with it. But if you are referring to the regain of bitcoin's value, then I think it will happen after the christmas season is over and the flow of transactions with crypto currencies is not that busy or clogged with people cashing out their money to buy things because it is christmas. Maybe at the start of next year, bitcoin's value will be more that what it was before all of these happened, and the value of altcoins will increase as well as bitcoin's increase in percentage. Now is the right time to invest in bitcoin or altcoins and hodl them until the start of 2018, where the prices will go higher and investors will recognize crypto again.

I also hope that this will be 3 weeks, or in the last case a month. But this should happen quickly judging by the latest trends in the change in the cost of bitcoin and other crypto-currencies.  ::)

I think we had to wait until one or two weeks. At the beginning of next year there will be less activity

I agree.

As soon as the mainstream media stops talking about bitcoin it will "stabilise"

My best guess is in the late end of January, early February market will recover to previous highs. Market need a bit time to cool off

Before we can talk about stability of Bitcoin and eventual recovery we must dive to the root of the problem. What is the root cause of Bitcoin instability? This a very big question that needs answers. Facts about this issue can be read below:

 https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/22/bitcoin-crypto-crashed-hard/

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/bitcoin-price-latest-updates-value-fall-futures-trading-digital-currency-investment-drop-a8123786.html

I think around the middle of January we might start to see some significant progress back to the previous heights. Still many alt-coins are going strong, not the major ones but the cheaper ones. This is probably an indication that we are seeing a market correction instead of a crash.

It could take 2-3 years like in 2014-2016. You never know. What is almost sure is that we will have huge bear trend in 2018. I give less then 10% that that will not happen.

Usually the market recovers pretty quickly after the falls. But now the situation is slightly different than usual. Now the end of the year and the New Year holidays. Therefore the market recovery can drag on for a month or even more.

A few weeks should be enough to restore. In extreme cases, the recovery will take a month - one and a half. The recovery process has already begun.

It is difficult to say when there will be a recovery, but most likely it will happen in early 2018. We need optimistic news for the crypto currency market.

Soon ... tm  .... 3 years later bitcoin is trading at 800$ striving to find support  ;D

In general, the market almost recovered quickly enough, I thought it would take more time. It's a pity that bitcoin is still sick, but his time is running out. Soon the altcoins will take his place.

In my opinion, the market has not recovered yet, it has grown a bit, but it still needs some time to grow to the previous positions. I hope that in a month the market will recover.

It seems that the crypto currency market has begun to recover. The former peak positions should soon be overcome. Now I wonder how much the market can grow on this wave.

I think that the Market to stabilize would need probably 3 weeks from now, it is completely normal be that way. It is January still people lost their money on Holidays, and next month they will invest everything they have in Crypto, so we just need to wait. If you rush and start selling, your loses will be huge, and unjustified.

I think the price now getting stable at now and the price is not moving too far but maybe in the February, we can see that the price start to increase back. since no one knows when the price will recover, we could only wait like you said and we don't have to get panic or feel that waiting for the price increase is a waste of time because we will see the price will reach the highest price again.

the end of this month the market will start to be conducive and stable, yes I am optimistic. some altcoin has increased, beginning with eth and other altcoin. I have been monitoring the market a few weeks. and it seems like the momentum for altcoin is pumped back.

It seems to me until the market has not yet fully recovered. Yes, there was some optimistic upsurge, but it quickly ended. But I am very optimistic.  :)

If you look at the situation on the market from the position of today,
I think it remains about 2 weeks before Bitcoin's sharp growth.

Towards end of feb/early March we should see some positive movement. A lot of new ico and exchanges coming online

Each day I get up and check altcoin rates I see different pictures: all alts are red or all of them are green. I do not think that we will see market stabilization in January and even February. Probably, it will happen close to the end of the winter.

I'm still not sure whether that will be realistic in just 3 weeks because as of the moment, many people is still dumping their coins, I think this will stabilize in April or May of this year. And hopefully, by the end of July, All token is much greater value than its previews state.

Our votes here can not solve anything, so there is no point here either to write, but of course you can express your opinion, I think that after the Chinese new year, the market should go up

Second half of February will be bullish....this correction just take too long now..

I think it is really hard to say something about the stabilisation of the all coins. Because some coins, like ethereum, reached their good old prices, but some coins, like bitcoin, is still waiting for a pump. In my opinion, btc and some of the many other coins can have good rising in the near future.

It's all over the map nowadays, except for ETH which is really going steady. But the rest is going up and down like crazy (overall downwards though). Who knows how long it can take to get back up, but maybe early March should see some new projects coming on teh scene, so we might have to wait till then...

I think market would probably stabilises after the 2nd week of February. There is no perfect reason for the time frame but I do think it will take that much time because the market is badly beaten and some are mentioning about Chinese and other Asian countries new year. As we all know people will cashout their profits before new year.

I think that whales do not want the market to recover yet. They want many people to lose faith in bitcoin and sell them coins at a low price. The current wave of negative news is about Tether...

i would say after 2 weeks when their is less activity

What coins are you talking about mate? Because so far, we cannot say what will happen the next hour or a days comes especially in terms of stabilization. Because in digital currency most of it are volatile actually all of em are volatile. And there few coins that remains stable and at ease when it comes to their price value.

The fall in the market was very protracted. With such a downward trend, it is difficult to make forecasts. But since I am an optimist, I think that the decline will end in a month.

Only the big players will know that,especially the whales and financial institutions like CME and the wallstreet as we are just some fishes in the whole crypto thing,we wont know what these giants will do but im sure cryptocurrencies will recover if the total marketcap if crypto started to stabilize.

How you calculate that 3 weeks? Where did get it?
I am not sure anybody can do 100% work for prediction but if we do prediction then we need to tell the objective not subjective.
But i hope 3 weeks is the longest period it can recover.

Don't think it really matters which coins, as you have mentioned it is impossible to determine what will happen in the next hour let alone week. I would suggest that the larger the market share the higher the risk of instability.

No idea, but not recently because of drastic changes n the policies and market.

Indeed, we can never predict what will happen. So if selling volume persists, we need to keep out and wait for a good sign of reversal before getting in. Preserving our capital is the top priority here and profit is only 2nd.

Until spring seems , this winter is giving some pain in my wallet:)

Approx 2-3 months duration. By mid March prices would have recovered. Its a wave; ride it out.

Some altcoin starts to pumping. like BTX prices rose more than 50% over prices a few days ago. as well as other altcoins like Ethereum. it seems some altcoin starts to pump. for bitcoin many people say that usually the beginning of the year bitcoin prices weaken and after a few months afterwards the price will stabilized and strengthened again. so hopefully the end of february bitcoin prices can recover.

I've found this topic very interesting because it shows the people's opinion over a 2 month period. In the beginning, people believed that the low prices would take a few days or weeks. Two and a half months later, everyone believes this crisis will last for a few more months. It will be of great interest for all of us to see how the world's opinion will change if two months later we are at the same low prices as it is today.
My opinion is that low prices will continue until the end of this summer.

It is becoming more evident by the day that market recovery will take a little longer than predicted by earlier comments on this topic. The downward trend is not going to end soon but definitely recovery will happen may be in months ahead. Let's just be optimistic and patiently HODL our investments.

Hmm, wait until spring, when the snow melts and the spring air will breathe strength into bitcoin ... I'm just afraid that with such a rate of correction, my portfolio will also melt before the beginning of spring :'(

It will take at least 12 months for real confidence to return, people will want to get to March 2019 and there not be another repeat of this Jan/Feb before they start to feel confident again. People seek patterns in everything, even when they aren't there.

I think market would probably stabilises after the 2nd week of February. There is no perfect reason for the time frame but I do think it will take that much time because the market is badly beaten and some are mentioning about Chinese and other Asian countries new year. As we all know people will cashout their profits before new year.

Three weeks after you posted this,market crashed bitcoin and all the cryptocurrencies downfalls in a unexpected dip..

Maybe you better asked this now,if when would be the recovery and if we can go back to the price when December 2017 strikes.

Honestly i dont believe that we will attain that same price this year,because what happened that year is a bubble that may never happen again

all altcoins/tokens are getting recover after the dip, all of them are facing this kind of changes. crypto currency is made for a long run, so dont seek for the gain in just a very short period of time. patience is must. meaning there are no specific dates/time for that recovery for every single coins/tokens. it is depend on the community if there are more supporters/investors/ that getting more active to survive their projects in a long run.

Actually no one can tell the specific weeks for the stabilization of the market, but after falling theres always be a growth, crypto is really a long term process so let us all wait and patience is the key.

I am not good at predicting but in May this will change, although not 100% changed but quite stable.

As much as I would like to call out a certain date and time period and say that this is when we will see another recovery again, I know all too well that there is no way that any of us can tell or call when the next recovery will come again. There is no way to predict bitcoin and its movement. Trying to predict it and its movements is futile and useless. You can only hold and wait for the prices to go up

I don't think market will stable so soon but probably in Q4 2018, variation of price is normal in cryptocurrency, and I think the prices will continue to vary, might rise but fluctuation will still occur.

Couple of years before it gets back to the ATH imo.

it is difficult to answer this question because we don't know exactly when it will recover and in the cryptocurrency, everything can be happening in anytime especially if we can have time to see the market more often. maybe many of us will say after in the middle of this year, the market will recover and start to increase but so far, the market is not increasing too high and only give a little increase and then it's back to decrease again. this is happening with bitcoin and altcoin too so it still difficult to predict when it's recovery.

The answer on that will depend on what are you calling as recovery :) We face a quite good sittuation now in May 2018

I think the current market stability needs at least 2 months! The decline of the past few weeks has caused many investors to give up thinking about continuing investment. I think it will take a long time to recover!

Our votes here can not solve anything, so there is no point here either to write, but of course you can express your opinion, I think that after the Chinese new year, the market should go up
