The price of BTC is going to continue its stable multi-week run.

This stability will get Bitcoin zero publicity. There is no way the news is going to report that Bitcoin's price has done nothing for weeks. It takes wild price swings to get publicity.

yeahh for these weeks
i hope that will improve soon .. true if the price is stable, it will probably make things worse

But doesn't that make it harder for merchants to adopt Bitcoin? If it looks too unstable people won't trust it much. But would be nice if it was slowly increasing in value and not decreasing. :)

The merchants (few that there are), almost always convert to fiat at time of sale, making that point nearly moot.

I still think relative stability is a good thing. Serious people scoff when they see something go from $75 to $1200 and back to $200 in the space of a couple years. Can you imagine the change in perception if we simply gradually rose from 75 to 230 instead? Of course greed, crimes, and limited infrastructure got in the way of that last time.

Bitcoin isn't an upcoming actress, it doesn't need publicity for publicity's sake. This simply attracts illusory and temporary support. It just needs to be functional and preferable to alternatives for an evolving and growing set of use cases. The possibility of enduring survival and success will only follow that.

I imagine many won't go through the trouble of accepting it if the currency is too unstable. And with too few users to be worth it.


Yes, Gavin proposed changes to Bitcoin and not everyone agrees with them or the timeline to implement them. He threatened to join hearn's fork instead. If miners and pools follow there could be a fork. The price may suffer then but I don't think it will be game over. And your bitcoins will still be worth something.

It's one of the darkest period for Bitcoin right now despite all good news that people don't really know how to read, it's all just hype for everyone. Until some of the major problems are resolved Bitcoin will remain what it has been for several years a speculation instrument. Since high leverage and shorting were introduced the amount of money poured into the market has gone lower and lower and it's becoming harder and harder to sustain or even reach higher prices.

better to have stability than dumping, and pumping is out of the question for now, just use this phase to accumulate nothing else


they will be worth what they are worth now, don't panic plz, and don't sell anything

there are just certain individuals that are spreading fud, to make people like you dumping

I think the media reporting about big price swings is not a positive advertisement. Average people want to have the same 100€ in the bank (in their pockets) tomorrow as they put in today. Not 20€ because the price fell due to xyz reasons. Some other kind of publicity might be better.

I see bitcoin in 2015 as fundamentally no different to bitcoin in any other year. Its still new and is still experimental. Anything that is new and experimental will be speculated - that is just "natural". Again allowing high leverage and shorting are just part of a commodity/currency getting more and more of the treatment that other commodities/currencies have to face.

It is not necessarily a dark period let alone one of its darkest periods. New demand is weak currently but we have not even got to the point where the average person would trust one of these exchanges - as they are far from transparent eg about internal manipuation. That is why the twins exchange might bring about more volume.

Give bitcoin a few more years and it will be doing much better     

You honestly think btc can be stable wich such intense drama in the background with a hard fork about to happen and completely disrupt the system?
What you're seeing now is called cognitive dissonance,  it leads people to say and do insane things,  of which this forum has ample proof.

We don't even need a hard fork at this moment to bring this thing down 50%. The sheer tension is enough,  one minor action can trigger a cascade of panic. That is why it's not moving,  that is why there is such low volume. Pure fear.

What were you doing when BTC was on a streak of 5USD  for several months? Stable runs have happened in the past.
Increasing the Block size is called evolution / scaling. Welcome to the age of software.

A stable price has both positive & negative connotations imo.
Merchants will look at is as a positive thing, they can sell goods to the bitcoin value of 100 USD & that 100 USD is still worth 100 USD the next day.
So potential bitcoin acceptance with merchants is more likely but at the same time the wild upwards price surges of the past haven't happened in a long time so bitcoin isn't in the media much lately in a positive light, presumably this means big, (dumb), rich investors that act on impulse & stuff they read about or see in the news aren't going to be coming on board any time soon.
I think we're stuck in a rut & I don't know what's going to get us out of it.

yes bitcoins is pretty stable right now, price is around 430 all this week or two, and to be honest, i don't think that it is bad thing, because stable bitcoin will attract more users, of course we should get small price rise if everyone will want to buy bitcoins but atleast it shouldn't fall down

I also like the fact that its pretty stable right now at 430 and slowly going up,the hard times of bitcoin is over now and its prosperous time for bitcoin.

It will be not that stable. It is a currency and that is always changing so it wont be that stable for a long time.
But you can see now that the value is rising very slowly and that is very good for the people who already has made an investment in Bitcoin.

this is stability is not a bad thing. it is only bad for those of us who want to make a profit from swings as day-traders.

but for bitcoin, in order to become a valid currency like dollar, euro,... the price needs to become more and more stable.
besides we are not at a stable stage yet, this is just temporary and going to change sooner that you can think.

that's right. bitcoin price is rising slowly now but sometimes it will be down. that's the way it is.
don't lose hope, just do best strategy for the price

The hard times of Bitcoin will never end. One day everything looks just fine, and the other day the entire market can look like a war zone. I have seen this happen since very early 2013 and nothing has changed so far.

Come on.... When compared to the volatility that Bitcoin has shown over the years, the current marginal movements can easily be called a stable price. Whether this stability is going to last is a different question altogether.

Yeah the price is very stable at this point 410-425 and i think before end of this month the price will decrease but it will increase again back. is just my speculation...

Call it today stable tomorrow can be total different. If it was that easy we all should be rich you can win big but lose even bigger.

Indeed, I think it can be stable in a couple years or maybe even sooner this year, but we will see it of course.
I think there is a chance it will be stable this year due to the halving.

No it will be not that stable. It is a currency and you can also see that the halving is also coming so that is very good.
We all hope that it will be more worth and that we all can sell it with some good profit, but you never know.....

It's a lousy currency for the simple fact that it's totally unstable.  Merchants are smart to convert bitcoin to fiat immediately.   And it's silly to buy bitcoin just to spend it.  Makes no sense to me.

Indeed, but I think it can be stable after the halving but not right now of course, the bitcoin never been stable.
I hope it will get stable after the halving because it will really help people to rust the bitcoin itself.

Bitcoin will never stable because its always depends in supply and demand.. maybe in future if all trading sites are gone the price will stable.
This comming end of the halving the movement of the price is fast. im not really sure but its just my speculation.

The price will fluctuate around $425 for the next few weeks. It wil then go above $450 and stays there.

i doubt that, i agree that the price will fluctuate but i dont think so that it will grow only to 450 dollars

there will soon be halving and we will surely make some good money out of that what means there will be more people interested

The price will grow to $450 later this month and then hover around $450 for a few weeks before it goes to $500.

It wont be that stable for a long time now, Bitcoin is a currency and that is always changing so you dont know what the value will be after some 2 weeks but you can of course predict a value but it is always changing.
On this moment the value is indeed very stable and the price is not even moving and some people are negative about the value.

Those that are negative about the price are either waiting for the price to drop significantly lower so they can start buying directly, or they don't like to see the price reaches a point of stability where the price doesn't go up, and thus their investment doesn't go up in value.

Yeah I think big whales are waiting for price drop so that they can take advantage of it and buy in bulk, but I think price will rise only at the time of halving not before that.

yes, you're right, I am also confused why bitcoin prices stable over the years. but, I think because now people who invest and buy bitcoin always balanced every day

Stability is due to China, where each trader keeps buying and selling to and from himself. Multiply it by tens of thousands, you get nothing but stable price.

stability is always a good element in any currency and it make more people trust the currency  and do not fear using it. but for bitcoin we are not in the era of stability yet, it is just a temporary thing and the market will be volatile as the same

uhmm then whats the point of that "buying and selling to yourself"? they dont get any profit from that and they spend big money on trading fees so i doubt that they actually do that

i think its good that the price is stable as the walls are being built and it will possibly allow the price to grow easier when the halving pump will happen

After some time we will see articles of the longest stability period of bitcoin price in the history. So I guess lack of news is a good news in this case.

Well you also have to factor everyone else on this globe as well lol.

But yes, china has a large influence. Basically the more exchanges in these foreign countries the better it is for us overall.

This is good for businesses.
Stable price means less complaints. It means that even if a business will actually sell the BTC obtained, it will receive the expected quantity of fiat.

If this trend keeps up, more businesses will accept BTC imho

The next few weeks is too short I think. For at least the next month, we'll stay where we are, but then, once we pass the middle of May or maybe the beggining of June, we'll pass the 450$ cap before going to 600$ by the end of July. That's how I see the future events.

Indeed, it will take some time but not a very long time in my opinion, its just a matter of time before this is gonna happen without any doubts.
Stability is still far away, I think it will be stable in about a year or something near that number.

You are right partly, I think the bitcoin will be stable this year when the halving has been done, it will create a huge boost.
After the boost the bitcoin will got to a lower amount and that amount will be stable for a long time in my opinion.

I believe the price needs to be stable, at the same time gradual rise is needed. Now for a long time only stability is observed. As most speculated this might be a initiation for halving.

there always have been a similar pattern happening before any rise. it is called accumulation phase and it is when everybody is buying as much as the item as they can while the price is low and stable. you can see it as a nearly flat line on the charts which will lead to a rise after this phase ended.

I wanted to say you are wrong, I wanted to say that a stable period may also precede a recession of the price.
However, from what I understood from the charts, the history of Bitcoin tells that you are right.
After stable periods, if a recession happened, that was rather small. Instead, if a rise happened, that was rather big.

this is a nice info sir so we can expect that bitcoin stability right now showing us the possibility of rising the
price if we will see the graph the trading condition of bitcoin was stable not too much fluctuation so after
recession bitcoin will pump up again. I will invest and hold my bitcoin to make sure that I will get a good
rewards.

FYI: "Never invest based on advice from strangers."
I don't want to be responsible of your loses if I am wrong.

Bitcoin is far from becoming stable. It's yet the most volatile investment when you compare it to stocks. Real stability will come when we see some more big companies stepping in.
More diverse whales make it harder to influence the price.

$420 is the new $217. Remember that stretch?

Good point, I wouldn't mind seeing another jump of that magnitude in the newr future, hopefully the halving kicks a few things into gear.

I guess we are going to see the price to remain stable for the coming weeks and months, unless something significant- such as breakthrough in blocksize discussion etc.

Sit back and relax and buy more coins... and remember to spend them!

The stable price is good for the adoption of the bitcoin. If the price rises 2% a week, it is very good.

Gentlemen - Expect price drop right now. Somewhat big exchange Shapeshift just reported they got hacked and their hot wallet robbed.
Another security fail in the bitcoin world won't go unnoticed, media and crowd will react. Stable period is over?

got a link?

(via http://www.coindesk.com/shapeshift/)

But how and when we can achieve stability? We all know how this is important for the future of bitcoin.

There is also discussion about this crisis going on right now. We have already at least 2 threads about it:

1. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1430755.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1430755.0)
2. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1431130.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1431130.0)

In the end it is about distribution. The better it is distributed the harder it will be to manipulate the price and thus we will get/reach stability.
Although it is a long while i am sure it will happen someday.

stable? not even close, price is rising now, and if price rises then it can't be stable, and to be honest i don't think that it will be stable anytime soon, price of bitcoin will just rise next months too because of halving, and i hope that it won't fall down anytime soon

Stable. Volatility is at near record lows. (https://btcvol.info/) Price has been flat-lining for some time, even yesterday's drop (http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/bitstampUSD#rg180zczsg2016-04-08zeg2016-04-09ztgSzl) was only 2-3%.

Whether it remains stable is something else, and I don't share goxed's view - I think it'll break out within the next few weeks. But for now it's stable by any reasonable definition.

In my view its been stable.

It may not feel like it, but if you look at the bullish prices its never gone back down to the $200 zone for awhile now.

And it`ll only go up, to me thats stable and thats the course of 1 year.

I tend to believe the price is stabilizing too although i am not sure for how long. It may well go back to 300 dollars again.
But then it is also likely that the price will go to 400 dollars. Only the future can/will tell.

Yes price is stuck at a moment but I feel that maximum bottom will be 400 nothing below then that, as we might see price rise in next couple of months due to halving.

Quite contrary, being stable is a value that may attract many. But we are nowhere yet to talk about Bitcoin value as stable.
We are currently simply in no man's land with no reasons to either move up or down, but such a move will happen as the halving gets closer.

Is it stability or just indifference? There's been talk of breaking out for bleedin' ages. I find it a bit disturbing that it's so staid. Something still so small should be producing plenty of action. I guess it's all gone to alts.

I also think it will not go below $400 again any time soon, but something inside me still tells me we will see sub $400 prices before the block halving. Very weird.

And this is correct answer!
It is all about distribution, stability of price cannot be achieved without beter distribution. But we will always have whales who will control price. Every dump is redistribution, and for this process we will need many years. Solution is new users and adoption.

i think it's normal to think the price may go to below $400 levels as bitcoin has surprised many of us plenty of times already. i think this month we'll make an attempt to reach $450 as we're heading towards the block halving. but then again, i don't think we will be able to hold $450 for long as the price will get dumped down again.

Why $450? Has there been a lot of buying around $450? Apart from that possibility, I'm not seeing anything about $450 that suggests there'll be resistance - the only significance I can see is that the last peak reached $450 - but that was in the context of lower peaks, higher troughs.

I expect resistance around $500, however, due to the November high.

the market is currently in state of repeating. we have seen the price move in the direction of $450 before, and it didn't even make it to that price level. for some reason it won't go much above that price level, and yes, i agree that the charts don't show anything special at these levels, but i find it very weird though.

That is right. But that also means we are quite far from stability at the moment. We are in the mid-term horizontal trend, not to be confused with stability.

Thanks! I see the repeating as being within an ever-diminishing range - $200-500 in October-November, $320-470 in December-January, $360-450 in February-March. I view this as (a) a sign that a breakout from this is imminent (good news for traders desperate for volatility), and (b) that support and resistance levels are sloping, not flat.

the reason is because of the sell walls that was placed in order to keep the price from going any more higher which i find a little strange but i have seen this happening.

I think the Bitcoin's price isn't stable right now it's increasing slowly and will continue this way, in my opinion, till the next halving at least. We need some other time to see if the price will get stable or not.

I think so too, it is only a matter of time until halving happen and make bitcoin prices again become unstable and rose to a high enough price, I really want to see the price increase  ;D

this stability of price has been good for me lately because i was so afraid i am going to miss out and won't be able to buy more cheap, because i recently came across some more money that i wanted to invest in bitcoin and i was hoping to do it at this price and not any higher.

My TA view is a bit different: we are in a horizontal trend between $350 and 420 since mid-January. Since then we managed to have one false breakout that stalled at $450. Since there are no reasons to either move significantly up or down we stay in that channel. We are pegged to its upper band due to the halving perspective, yet that is not enough to resolve (break out).

Interesting, thanks!

With SegWit due this month I've been wondering whether it would coincide with my expected move. Do you think it could be the catalyst to a break out from your horizontal channel? (I'm not taking a position on whether SegWit is good or bad, mostly because I think the market's view will be much more interesting and relevant than mine, but I am getting increasingly bored by the lack of volatility).

No kidding Sherlock! The point is indeed who or what is trying to prevent the price from going up.

They keep selling and selling which makes me wonder, when will these guys run out of coins that they are constantly selling. They have been controlling the price for quite a long time now.

Just like Soylent Green, it's people.


No, "they" don't "keep selling and selling." They buy when the price is low & sell when the price is high. That way, they never run out of coin. It's called trading.

The same than a volcano Stable, stable, stable!  and suddenly bang!

That's how whales earn high profits. We as traders can also benefit from this if we know what to do at a certain point. Whales make the big profits and we make ourself happy with the crumbs they leave for us.

I am not sure, if the SegWit will be the catalyst to provide the break out. It may be still too early, too far from halving event, I mean. Once we are close to the halving we will get the spark (maybe something completely unimportant, or no news at all, like last time in November) and it will get going pretty quick. Horizontal trends are boring and long, unfortunately. However the longer the wait, the bigger the potential move after break out.

I really like this current stability, and I would like that it remains for years, this way all speculators will renounce to this currency and only people really interested in the development of new economic alternatives will remain here.

Other currencies are more stable, yet have many, many more speculators. Speculators aren't a bad thing - they bring liquidity, making it easier to sell (and buy) without the price changing dramatically.

I really don't like this stability, only the price fluctuations makes the users excited. This stability makes everyone little bored and this will no longer continues. We can see a price rise soon.

not at this value, this value is a joke for something so big as bitcoin, i would like to see stability but at no less than 4 zeroes value

actually it's with bigger value that you have a better stability

The current value is indeed on the lower side if you just look at the potential that Bitcoin has, but it's just a matter of time before we see the market cap increase to more decent levels. I think we'll reach $10 billion somewhere in early or mid 2017.

The price around this time is indeed stable, and that is bad for the people who are waiting for a price increase and for the people who already have some Bitcoins.
Many people are also saying that the value of Bitcoin will not rise after a long time so you must wait a long time for it.

The price was stable for a pretty long time but this finally changing. The price is going up and there is live again in bitcoin. People are returning to bitcoin to hopefully sell their coins that they have saved.

This stability is very important but we all would like to see price rising and stress level will be only higher, here, over time. And this is why trading is not for everyone. Traders are not interested in stability ;D

Lol i think if you just see always increase and very stable to increase maybe more people will invest and they will find a cheap price of bitcoin and stay to hold until reach 10k usd each.. and that is impossible to happen.. its always depends in demand and supply so we dont have control for the price increase and decrease..

stability is a really good thing for now, in my opinion it means that the bitcoin price is ready for a huge growth in the future because of the buy walls that are being built right now

i hope that people will keep on buying in the future especially before the halving because it will allow the price to grow at a very rapid pace, because right now we have a long stability period

once again, this recent horizontal trend since mid of January should not be confused with stability. Price of Bitcoin is all but stable at the moment due to a simple fact that Bitcoin has only a bit more than six years. Being even less time in the market, it is still in its initial phase when the main force is volatility not stability.

The price is stable for now by the bitcoin price history. But the price will rise very fast in the near future.

The value now is indeed stable for a long time and that is not the best thing that can happen with Bitcoin because a lot of people want to make profit with it.
The halving is also coming and many people told me that the value is not even going to rise.

I actually don't agree with both statements. Bitcoin price is not stable by any means. We are in a horizontal trend since mid-January, but as soon as there are some news the volatility will return.
Whether it will be rise or fall, it remains to be seen.

But this is theory and only one year before we were in downtrend and everything was very depressed.. Now we are all in hype and everybody talking about moon. You cannot predict future, we can talk about possibilities and chances.

It is slowly rising.

Last week was 420 or sligtly below, now is above 430.

If it don't fall already will be a victory, considering the 2 years of bull market

It is nice to see that stability,if will be more worldwide exchange services,double btc card and stable price,it can bring us more merchants and more worldwide users.More bitcoin will be in use more stable price will be

it doesn't do nothing for weeks, it's going up slowly but surely. And 'slow' in terms of bitcoin is still insanely fast in terms of other currencies and even most commodities.

I guess i can say that its stably increasing its price right now,i dont see any stable price that bitcoin can have because the demand is also increasing everyday.

Unfortunately, most people posting in here have even shorter investing horizon. It looks like Bitcoin has done a lot to promote day trading.

Let's be honest, who doesn't want to make good profits in a very short time? You need to have great trading skills in order to play the market the right way to make profit each time. Not all people can do this. But yes, I agree that there still is a get rich quick sentiment in this community.

There are a lot of people that want to that the price will rise because they want to make some fast profit and that is logic because they already has wait a long time and that is bad.
But I think it will rise soon because as you can see now you see that the halving is coming so that is nice.

Yeah the price was above $430, as the long time stable price has been crossed. Now we can expect the next level of stability in price within the range of $430 - $435.

The bitcoin is not stable although its a sort of stable right now, of course the bitcoin has never been stable but I think this will happen soon.
Most likely the bitcoin is going to be stable when the halving has been done this year, in my prediction this will be in the end of this year.

Actually, until speculation (p&d) is the main driving force behind price movement we won't see stability in Bitcoin price. That is also not what the public wants. People want to get rich quickly and thus that brings the volatility.
What we observe right now is a mid-term horizontal trend, not stability as you correctly pointed out.

Now Increasing, increasing, increasing, yes you can see now the price has got a good strength and its trend is at height, and within a few weeks it will go more high and will cross $500 within a few days.

Bitcoin hit $500 within a few days, we must be realistic not to expect a high spike in the price of bitcoin would be great if prices slowly rising but it is not easy to fall back on.

Let's see first how the price behaves at $450. If we pass this test, then we can talk about $500. We have had already one false breakout from the horizontal trend that stalled at $453, so I would still be careful.

Agree with you bicoin never ever came to stability, and the time when some stability is established at there, then it will mean that now everyone can put their money to bitcoin for longer time and can forget them for a period of time without checking them again and again.

Bitcoin is hot and interesting. How can some one not look constantly at the price with the block halving ahead of us. :) Even if I try to forget my coins for a certain time, there is no way I can do it. I MUST look as I am a trader.

The bitcoin will be stable soon or later, its just a matter of time, I think it will be stable when the halving has been done because the price will than lower to a stable price in my eyes, this is why we just need to stay patient and wait for it.

Its good to see it stable but I don't think that is ever possible with bitcoin in near future, as price stability need huge market cap which is missing in bitcoin at a moment.

And today it is at $445, the price is now increasing making bitcoin more interesting, especially for those people who have some coins in their wallets and were waiting for this time, now their wait is finished and their wealth is increasing.

what do you mean by stable? Is stable for you that we stay for two months in the same price range, or do we need two years or more?

Distribution cannot be achieved without price decreasing. People must sell if we want good redistribution. Everybody expecting rise, few people controlling thousands while rest controlling small parts..

It is in a small raise now, but remains more or less stable. I agree a big raise needs a lot of people (or few people eager to buy at a high price).

well i think the price has a lot of potential in growing right now because of a variety of reasons, in my opinion the price will surely grow because people are willing to buy at the moment whatever the price is

its because of the incoming halving event that will definitely make the price go significantly up, im buying my bitcoins too even the price is so stable, i will make a lot of profit in teh near future for sure

we need whales to make a start where they push the price significantly higher, and after that it will get many people into panic buying mode. i think it will start when we are just a few weeks away from the block halving. so we will need a little bit more patience.

probably, but I won't see that wave getting really far. As wrote couple of times already, $500-600 seems a logical target to me. Very interesting question is however what happens afterwards?

Could it be that many of our beloved whales have migrated to altland? The volumes are now there to match the volatility. If I was a major player I'd be over there making hay.

I would love to see 2013- early 2014 volumes back in altcoins, that seems like a distant dream right now.
Who knows, maybe the halving is not that attractive as for now, and there is a need for some alternatives?

I really hope the bitcoin is getting stable this year although I think its gonna be pretty hard for the bitcoin to accomplish this.
There is of course a chance it will but most likely it will not this be this year, I think it will happen around the year of 2020.

Now we are getting closer to the block halving I don't expect much stability anymore. In the coming months people will do panic buying and panic selling with whales playing the market with loads of +1000 BTC orders. Great times for traders ahead of us.

The bitcoin is getting more stable in my opinion at the end of this year, I think the halving will help us with this to be honest.
There is such a good chance that the bitcoin is going to a higher amount this year and later on this year be stable by indeed the halving.

The price is indeed stable for a long time and that is because the price is not rising and many people are mad because of that, but the most people hopes that it will rise soon.
But the bad thing is that you never know what will happen with Bitcoin and that is the problem, they have to take some risks.

yeah, now everyone is going to buy at whatever the price is as they have heard that the price will increase more with the passage of time, i think when the halving will only a month away there will be a huge crowd of buyers and at that time the price will cross $1000.

The price is indeed stable for a long time and there are a lot of people that dont like that and the main reason is that they want to earn some profit as fast as possible but that is not possible now.
So they have to wait a longer time and some dont have even the patience for it.

Thats why many people don't know much about it because the coin don't get any publicity.
Not even when the coin is stable for weeks, it will only get publicity when it reach a double amount of the value from now.
That's why many people will never hear about the coin.

Price has started to move up now and I don't think that price will remain stable for a  long time now, it will keep on climbing till we reach the halving stage.

Lots of buyers enter the scene since as the price reached at $440. Some short traders give a shot of bearish action at $460 because they think it won't land at $470.So now they buy again in bulk mode at $465.

Yeah because more buyers and traders are buying bitcoin because they know that the price of bitcoin will be more valuable after halving.. and i think it will increase more sooner.. day by day the price is increase fast. and the price is nearly break $500 value each...

No, you can see from about 2 weeks the price is not stable but it is increasing with a much faster speed, now there is no any risk in putting our money in bitcoin and in using bitcoin for longer time.

Yes in the next month no one knows that what will happen but it is sure that these months will be the demand of bitcoins everyone will try to buy more and more bitcoins and no one will be there willing to sell their coins and in that few months the price will touch the moon.

your means 'publicity" is that add and advertisement, than you are right. bitcoin's publicity is zero, you know most of the countries don't know about bitcoins, but the question is how can it possible to stable?   

No there's no way that price will become stable. The price fluctuation of bitcoin is an active one. There are lots of traders on-hand at the exchange site. It will move and move even at smaller margin everyday and can't sustain the fixed price. But this is the best part here, if the price is stable we can't able to get more profits.

I'm not sure I understand anymore what "stable" means. BTC/USD volatility is currently rising - from record-lows. It's (slightly) higher than the volatility of USD/EUR, but less volatile than XAU/USD. If stable means "never or rarely changing" - that's never going to happen.

Stability can easily be profitable. Outside the BTC world, traders sell straddles to profit from stability. Inside the BTC world it's entirely possible to do exactly that - there's at least one exchange where BTC options can be traded, and I'm fairly certain there's at least one poster here who'll trade options OTC.

I also don't understand this confusion of a temporary (at most mid-term) horizontal with stability. Bitcoin is far from being stable by definition, being a relatively young asset that yet has to mature. That is why we should still expect a lot of volatility ahead, despite this recent silence.

No, at the end of this year stability of bitcoin price is not going to happen but the price will continue to rise as when the demand is started and increased the price rising will be startedand with that the demand will increase much more so this will continue for long time.

Yeah there's no stable price for the bitcoins and i think this is not the time that the price will continues increase.. because we see the price in few days ago is 460+ and its decrease into 440... and i think only traders can control the price for now.. just lets hope this coming month that the price will increase more and reach 500 again..

The price keep stable for a long time and there are a lot of people that dont like that value now because they want to make profit soon with Bitcoin because they are greedy.
And that is quite bad it would be better if you have patience and just wait later for a higher value.

NO, the stability is not bad for bitcoin but it is a good character for any currency to become successful , just like dollar, it is a most stable currency so everyone readily believe on it and accept it without any doubt.

I hope so.
the current bitcoin prices have started to rise slowly and I hope that the price will remain stable until next year or forever  ;D

For the miners: if the price rise doesn't cover their electricity costs after the halving, i suppose they'll stop mining, so the diff might fall a couple weeks/months after the halving.

Maybe the bitcoin is gonna get stable but of course we cannot predict this, I really hope the price will be stable at the end of this year.
There is a possibility that this is gonna happen if everything with the halving will go well.

There is a chance it will get stable, although I think it will be a small chance, the bitcoin is still not big enough to get stable.
The halving will maybe help but I think it will still not be enough to be honest.

Price is never stable >:(
Why you got into bitcoin in the fist place if you expect this?

that is exactly what may happen. Furthermore, most of the biggest miners are also the biggest whales, and thus, they may decide to hedge smaller mining revenue by pushing the price down and then collecting cheaper Bitcoins when the panic selling starts. 

People like to contradict themselves. They want the price to be stable, but at the same they want to have big, chunky gains.

Not possible. People also expect something from nothing  :-\
Go figure  ::)

Yup. Once there is some decent stability people will start yelling 'Bitcoin is boring!!!!' And once there is plenty of volatility people start yelling 'The price is not stable and that isn't good'  :D Clowns.

The bitcoin will be stable soon or later, but I think we are now still far from it to be honest because the bitcoin is just staggering all day these days.
I think in about a year or maybe with some luck after the halving it can be stable but we can of course not predict this.

Bitcoin is only six years old. I know that it may seem a lot to many, but in reality Bitcoin is still in very initial phase with many adoption questions being unanswered. Therefore, expecting stability right now is like not understanding where we are at the moment.

Bitcoin keep a long time stable and many people dont like it and the reason is that they want to earn some money with it which that is not possible now around this time.
And I understand that because it was their main reason to earn some money with it.

Bitcoin was never stable, as Bitcoin is still a young asset, that is very volatile. There is no reason for stability, as the main price driver is speculation. That means that as soon as speculators wish to, the price will start moving either up or down. Current lack of price action is a result of lack of p&d players and should not be confused with stability.

There is gonna be a day that the bitcoin will be stable its only the question when this will happen, maybe it will happen this year but I highly doubt it to be honest.

The price of bitcoin is already stable. If you look the price in the last 3 months, it is mainly in the $400 to $450.

3 months is a very short-term observation window. Bitcoin is merely six years old, and thus three months may seem a lot, but it is not.
Therefore, talking about stability (of the price action) is a bit out of place.

Within those 3 months, there was a period when bitcoin was even more stable - more stable than gold.
Everything depends on the time frame you choose.  :)

For now you will see that the price is very stable at 440- 449 and i think this is the stable price for now until may 25 after that the price will gradually increase the end of the may.. this is just my speculation.. and lets hope that the price will will increase before end of the month..

It is nice that the price is stable considering I use it as my primary currency.

Its still the price is very stable at 449 the price still not change from yesterday adn now.. according to preev..
And i think the halving is already starting because the movement of bitcoin now is very slow and stable..

It kept stable for a long time and as you can see now you see that the value is going to rise slowly and that is quite perfect for the people who is waiting for a price increase.
The bad thing is that you dont know how long it will rise and that is the problem and when it is going to stop.

No, we cannot called this the stability as during that three months the price gone up and down from $470 to $380 and that situation is not a stable situation, but anything can happen, it is also the possibility that the price start to increase and then do not come back.

If you look at things from a realistic point of view then you will know that the price won't go over $600 any time soon this year.

If you do that, you know that if you want to secure your profits that your selling price will between $525 and $550 and not much higher.

no price is not stable at all right now, we had a massive price pump week ago and price now is 450$ from 410$ so i couldn't name these pumps and dumps soon a stable bitcoin

and i don't think that we will see stable bitcoin any time soon as price will still change in future for sure, and stable bitcoins would be bad for traders too, but better for users

The price was stable for a long time indeed and many people dont like it and that is quite logic because they want to make profit in a fast time and that is not possible now.
So they have now to wait a longer time until the value will be more worth but they need patience for it.

Yes, for observing anything in bitcoin we cannot rely on these three months only, that stability which remained for about three months occur on a number of periods in the last 7 years, and the stability will occur only when a sufficient adoption occur.

Again, three months is very little in the long-term observation window. Therefore the fact the price was more less same for that period of time is not of much significance.

People hates price stability in bitcoin as they cannot make quick profits, and bitcoin cannot be stable in long run it will keep on moving up and down forever.

I also think the same that the price will remain at that value for about a few weeks more and after that we will see that for the preparation of halving more people will start to adopt and buy bitcoins and the price will once again start to increase with fastest speed.

I overall think that the bitcoin will not get stable soon but of course we cannot predict this.
I honestly also do not want to let it go stable because I make a lot of profit with trading.

Bitcoin was stable last month but now it has started to move up on regular basis, and bitcoin is not used to be stable for a longer period of time.

The more the bitcoin rises, The more investors will try to involved in it and it will increase the overall market Cap. Media will be playing a big part to share the news of bitcoin price rises .

True,
The trend should be upward in the coming months as that happens the media will follow more closely the news.

It is quite bad for the people that the value keeps stable for a long time and that is bad because nobody wants to wait such a long time to get some profit.
You never know of course what is going to happen with the value but the halving is coming soon and that must be nice.

I don not like it when the price is stable especially not when it is stable for to long. If the price is stable for to long you will have to wait so long before you can finally do something on Bitcoin.
This makes people say that Bitcoin is dead or going to be dead or died 100 times.

as long as the price is stable at a high rate I think everyone would like. for example stable above $1000.
but if stable in small numbers, of course everyone will be bored.

Bitcoin was stable for a long time and that is quite bad for the most people who already have Bitcoin and that is because people dont like it because they want to make profit in a fast time.
And that was not possible for them now but as you can see now you see that the value is rising slowly so that is nice.

It is no fun if the price is stable because you cannot make any moves at that moment. It only is good for a moment but it has to change after that and not stay the same because it will bore people.

not any time soon, probably not even this decade.

for one, the market cap is WAY to low for a stable price

and on top of that there is quite a big supply still and there will still be a big supply for several years

Three months is an eternity, indeed. For all impatient who cannot wait thaaat long there is also day trading. You may switch there to look for the real action, daily. Et voila!

Its been stable for awhile now, but around like $300-350 in the past before the halving hype which bumped up to $450ish.

So it would be intresting to see the hold price for 3-5 months after the halving..

The bitcoin is indeed gonna be stable for sure without any doubts, its just a matter of time in my opinion.
We just need to wait till its the right moment.

I do not like the price to be stable because at that moment I can make no money with Bitcoin. In the beginning it is good if you want to sell but it does not have to last for months. That is just unnecessary.

i expect some heavy dumping to happen after the block halving as people will cash out the coins they bought at these prices or below $400 not long ago. it will be very interesting to see where the price will find a stable point. my guess is either just above $400 or just above $500 for the rest of this year.

In my case I think we will see some massive dumps at the range of $500 if the price won't stabilize it's support for at least hours like the scenario happen last November where $500 range only touch in a duration of minute. It's just a matter of strong faith especially to those believers that price will spike more after halving.

Being believer, or not, has not much to do with the price, if there are fundamentals to support a rally. For now, we don't have much to support a rise, apart of the halving hype. That is, in my opinion, too little to dream big.

Halving is hyped up way too big. It started from when the price was around $250. People said the block halving will make sure the price goes up to +$400 price levels back then. And here we have it today.... It's an increase of $200 which made us all happy. But at this point there is not much gas left I guess.

I think this is not the end.It's not fully priced in.
Just have a look at the hash rate!! Miners still invest in new equipment.
I believe there's more to come for us.How much we will go up I don't know.But we will continue moving up!

I didn't say that it's fully priced in, but for the biggest part. My guess is that we still have around $50-$75 of potential increases left from the price now. Beside that, the hashrate was also going up and up when the price was below $300 so that doesn't say much.

Absolutely agree. Hashrate has not much to do with the price, or to put it the other way: it is not a reliable indicator of price movements.

i also think we'll see huge dumps before even touching $500 and i even see whales place massive sell orders at $499-$499.99 to make the price not touch the $500 level. last november the price went up way too quick which is also a significant reason of why the price tanked down after touching $500. this time the growth has become much more sustainable.

Is it more sustainable? I don't see significant fundamental change in comparison to the last November. The pace of the growth is slower than last time, that is true, but on the other hand there is nothing new fundamentally to sustain these price levels.

I have seen you mention that there aren't any fundamental changes quite some times, which makes me wonder what fundamental changes you are hoping for?

The price is stable for a long time and many people dont like because the main reason why people are going to use Bitcoin is that they want to earn profit with it.
And that is not always possible because it needs a long time until the value will be more.

For a week or maybe for few months the price is stable, i think it will continue for a month or maybe less then the price will be increased before the halving when the bump time comes.

do you realize that if bitcoin attain stability it will start to attract investors
and with increasing investors bitcoin will attain popularity and will start rising slowly
stability is for the better than increasing rapidly then going down suddenly.

That is true. If the bitcoin is stable, it will attract more investors and the price will rise and remain stable.

previous high of $500 in november last year was pure manipulation that had something to do with the mmm ponzi in china. chinese exchanges back then were ahead of all other exchanges due to the increased demand that ponzi has created in china. that's enough difference for me. the price was bound to collapse heavily, which it did.

Agreement on the blocksize for example. Not endless talks but the final agreement and implementation.
further developments that will help the mass adoption, so that Bitcoin is seen less as a speculative vehicle and more like an alternative to current fiat system. 99% in this forum actually unconsciously loves fiat and would not hesitate to convert their Bitcoin once the price reaches the x level (where x is 500,800,1k, etc.). Why? Because they don't have enough fundamental arguments to stick to Bitcoin for longer and earn, save and spend in Bitcoin.

Traders do not like stable price as it doesn't allow them to make profits, but new investor will have faith in bitcoin only if he stables price.

I am investor, so I like stable and rising price. If the price just rise 5% a months, I will be very satisfied.

It was stable for long time and you see also that there are a lot of people that is trading now so they can earn a little bit profit and that is nice for them.
But we all know that the halving will come and you already see now that the value will be higher and it started also rising slowly.

That's nice to hear. Mostly I see people make 10-20% profit in a month and they are still not happy.

When people think about 5% profit they see it as very low but they don't realize that 5% each month is 60% after 1 year. That's what I consider a great return.

You see indeed that the price of the Bitcoin was stable for a long time but that is now changing you can now see that the value of the Bitcoin is rising slowly so that is really nice.
But you have also to know that you never know when it will stop rising and that is the problem.

Most people in Bitcoin want to get insanely rich overnight. That is why most of them loses most of their investments, or break even in the best case.
Greed is really hard to control.

The stability of the price in the last six months bears some fruit. The price is around $500 now. And it could be higher.

You are right, It might keep rising for now variations have reached until $100.

On one hand we want stability and on one hand we want to see this volatility. Makes me wonder what is the case?
Right now the price going to the 600 dollar and not stopping there is very good if you ask me.

$600 will be achieved very soon, price volatility is good for traders but normal users loves price stability and new investors also prefers stability in price.

Huobi already reached $600 (in CNY) a few times

but not for very long though

Yeah and that is what i want to see right now for bitcoin itgwill go to 600$ mark and stabilizer and it surpass and go for more higher i think it has a chance to have big crash and i dont want to see it really by this time,  and also by this price votality i can say its quite talk by all bitcoin user now some saying bad and some saying good about it but all i can see for this time is positive and let see for future if it still continue.

The bitcoin price is just $20 away from the $600 range. I think the $600 can be reached in a few months.

All china market has tried to push the price higher but west market still not follow it maybe we need to be patient surely we will see the price touch $600 soon as possible.

China has a big contribution in bitcoins price increased, sure if they want to pump the coin they can do it easily..

IMO this wouldn't be stable for too long. With the recent spikes, we're sure to see more price disruptions.

@Jmild1 Pretty sure it's not entirely China that's behind all these movements.

Any Idea why China could have been the culprit of this sudden pump of Bitcoin rate specially on a weekend?
I've been following the post's of a representative here of HaoBTC and looks like there's an issue about Bitbank and the news sounds not very good. If ever the problem of BitBank is not resolved we maybe seeing something that could make the rate drop again.

One thing the Bitcoin doesn't like is bad news, any bad news about Bitcoin effects the exchange rate.

Stability means going to the red. No stability = no publicity = no trade volume :)

That means that we need a huge surge or drop soon! :)

we are at another stable price again which i believe is a good thing, this helps built up our stash of bitcoin on a fixed price before the big rise comes so we can take the most profit.

you don't know what you are talking about! stability is so much better that volatility. volatile price which is going up can bring a lot of publicity but the big rise will lead to fall which is worse becasue that will also bring a lot of publicity this time negative. so this big surge you are looking for will lead to bad things in the long run.
also i have to say that trade volume doesn't help bitcoin grow, trade volume is only restricted to traders and comes with the volatile price, growing and mass adoption has nothing to do with that.

you're right, but I've seen at this price point bicoin become stable again, but there are still many people who can make a profit even if the price of bitcoin bitcoin stable, they are a wonderful person

But really i want to see bitcoin goes stable for this current price rather than to go up for more and go to 2k$ price because if the price is stable for this price the businessmen will still give oppurtunity to people seeking money online and if price will reach for the said no. Well maybe we can experience big crash since people will surely sell their coins that they buy at cheap price because they already get profit with it and also the advertisement business well be lessen if price is up and we cannot get benifits if advertisers are pulling out because they cant pay high price since bitcoin is so high.

Yes youre right china is one of biggest consumers of bitcoin.,they can manipulate the  price of bitcoin if they want.
They can even make it 1000$ by the end of the year.

The price is not even stable now and that is nice because there are now a lot of people that is waiting for a higher value so that is really nice.
And of course it will be really hard to know what will happen in the future but the most people are now holding their coin.

If we look at the past, all major price rises were preceded by stable phases, at least from 2012/13 on:

- The first 2013 bubble (February to April) was preceded by a very stable year 2012.
- In summer of 2013 there was a period of stability around $140, preceding the bull run up to $1240. (There was Willy bot too, but he couldn't have done this alone)
- Then we're going to 2015: Almost 9 months of stable prices in the 200-300 range. Followed by the price jump up to $400.
- Inmediately after this event, we see a sideways phase in the $400-450 range. We all know what followed.

So stability is a good indicator that a price rise is within sight. I am still convinced we'll get a bit higher before the halving event.

already a few days bitcoin prices stable. but it still can not say stail completely, because so many people are saying that the price of bitcoin will be increased again soon

Let's just hope that bitcoin will maintain it's stability no one knows it's ups and downs we could be just shock one day that it has a value of 1000$ per BTC. Some could get a large amount of savings if that happen today itself.

For now, mid-term I expect high volatility, with a peak in early July. This little stable intermezzo we were seeing in the last week is, in my opinion, only a break in a very bullish phase. It's like a step of a stair.

I expect mid-term stability starting with the dumps after the halving date. If I had to predict, I would say we will see a stable phase between September and March of 2017. My guess is that in this new stable phase price will stay at a pretty similar level that we are seeing actually, somewhere between $400/450 and $550/600.

Now is everything but not stable, so we can say that bitcoin never was stable more then a month. So I think many just don`t have patience. I agree with fact that people earn more and have fun more (some lose and don`t have so much fun) when price goes up and down everyday, but stability attract more people in my opinion. People like when they can have trust in something, I know most of us believe in much higher price then now, but its gambling. And many just don't like to gamble.

Now we will see how much can bitcoin go, where is the maximum of this rise, and for me much more important where will we be after all this.

yeah you aretrue the eastern market had already achieved $600 target, and I am seeing people there trading in around $50 to $600 and earning a good amount of money, I think for now we should have to remain at there and when the western also reach to there then should use them also.

I believe the top is around 650. And hope that the price becomes more stable. As in is settles there for a year or so.
It would give many people a good incentive to start buying bitcoins.

If the $650 level indeed turns out to be the top, then the settle price will be significantly lower. I personally believe the price will remain between $450-$550 for the rest of the year once the block halving has taken place.

If the bitcon price action follows the recent pattern, the price will not stop at $650. The price could be $650 early next month.

The pace of the growth was too fast to make it sustainable over the longer run. This growth reminds much more the one from the last November rather than these from 2014.
Let's see how low we go in the first correction.

It looks I was right again ;)

Now I expect the price to take a break and consolidate at about $620-650. I don't think it will fall under the 600 mark next week, but also don't expect it to go much higher than $660. Then next weekend we will approach $700, maybe even surpass it.

And then ... there may be a totally insane hype phase (like in the last 2 days of the April 2013 rally) or already a slow cooling down followed by profit taking and a major correction (like in the November 2013 rally).

The bitcoin will go stable on a time but not right now it will take some time for sure without any doubts.
I think its just a matter of time before we can see the bitcoin stable.

Yeah your right bitcoin will increase more this time and there's no stable price because of block halving and more people will buy bitcoin this time and i think we will see that the price will hit to 700 value in this month..

It is still quite volatile. Two days ago, the price dropped 20% in two days. The price rose 16% today again.

I think the current price of bitcoin can not be said to be stable, because the price of $ 660 has just happened today, I thought yesterday bitcoin prices dropped to $ 580. you could say it is stable if the price of bitcoin last up to 2 weeks.

i miss the stable times of bitcoin, by then you could easily guess the bottom and the top and also the future price was clear for short term rises but now everything is complicated especially recently it is.

The price will be "stable" for the next few weeks at least. It is in the consolidation phase at the moment.

No i don't think so since the halving will happens in ~ 9 days so the price may go crazy after few days and I expect it to pass + $700 soon

I guess in a moment of price stability will come to an end. in the month of July is probably halving will re-occur, and if halving not happen, maybe the price of bitcoin will grow even more

i must disagree that soon we will see the stable prices i think because in my opinion it will always depend only on people and nothing else i think the price will never be stable

i dont think that the price is stable at the moment, to be honest the stable price is not achievable at least not in the near future as it will always fluctuate no matter what

bitcoin's price will stabilize with popularity, and once enough people have hopped on board for the price of a bitcoin to be somewhere in the $750-$1k range I'd think that will be enough to keep prices quite steady from there forward.

750-1000$ is prone to have massive price drop because price for that state is bit high and surely will take their oppurtunity to sell their bitcoins what they have that they buy for cheaper price after the halving is done and if it really happens i really really want to see bitcoins price will stable to 600$-700$.

Things are going to move in the next few weeks. Everyone is thinking that something will happen, and they took their position, even if nothing happen they will eventually change their position and cause something to happen, so one way or another we are about to get something to happen

Lol, I don't want the price to be stable with this kind of value. I want it to be stable when it already reach a million value, there's a chance that this will happen but will take a long time.

that is because you don't care about bitcoin at all, what you do care about is fiat that is why you are looking for a big price to exit bitcoin as fast as possible and with the biggest profit possible.

stable price is going to be good for bitcoin, although that's something that won't happen soon but when it reaches that stage it means it is being used as a real currency not some investment with some random currency usage.

well it is stable for now, and  i am happy that price is stable  now, before halving,  because it would be horrible if price fall down right now, before halving, that would be bad

but soon it won't be stable because of same halving as price will either drop down then or it will rise, so this stable price is just for few days  i think, but this is only my opinion of course

I won't call this stable. It just went to 770 then to 600 and now a day in 670. I am happy it revived from 600 dollars but the real question is with it hold?
Now and even after the halving?

When the price of the Bitcoin is stable for to long you can say that the Bitcoin is dead because at that moment there is not much to do at that moment.
The price at the begin of the 2016 was stable for a very long time and some users decided to quit after that.

I agree with that. So I think it is better for the bitcoin to be in the consolidation status for a few months.

Getting popularity because of being unstable is just like shooting a school and getting popular.

This kind of popularity sucks.

Bitcoin needs popularity because of it's ease of use, technological advancement, etc... not because of volatility which is pain.

I agree with this totally. If the price rise 1% a week, it is better than rise 15% a week, then drop 13% next week.

I preferred that too, slow rise rather than a sudden pump because after that expect a sudden drop.

If ever there is sudden pump, it must be on a really large range of price of let's say $200 increase so that if ever there's a drop, the correction will just eat around $100 decrease.

It is great. I like the price being stable rather than pumping and then droping more than it pumped. It is also a nice high price, about 670$ right now. I remember it being 450$ as stable. I wonder what will the price go around at the halving and after it, I hope it stays stable and around the price it is at right now..

yes I remember the times when it looks prices will fall, but the opposite happened inflated prices and be able to sit at the level of $600 ++. hopefully it will same.

You are right but this is not gonna happen because of the fact that the bitcoin is gonna rise to a higher amount.
Most likely there is no problem with the bitcoin itself, I honestly think that the bitcoin is gonna rise to a high amount and will not be stable soon.

I do not like it when the price is stable for to long because at that point it is boring and there is just nothing to do on or with Bitcoin.
These are the times where I start thinking about leaving or selling because my coins are just sitting there doing nothing.

The price pump I wait will be 30 years away. As I will use/sell most of my bitcoin in the next 30 years.

Only when it becomes mainstream :).

It will end my friend ^^
Btc volatility is due mainly to its poor level of use. If only 1% of population would use btc, it would be much more stable!!!

also before bitcoin wins the world, governments will try to control it, destroy it.. until they say fuck it and bitcoin becomes the norm  ;D

It's great that you are long term minded but don't put too much faith in a pump which may or may not happen. Just be wise when it comes to trading to benefit the most from the market that will go up and up throughout the years. I am more a holder myself but I am also going to do trading in order to benefit from the volatility. It's a great opportunity

I do not see the bitcoin getting stable anytime soon, it will take a lot of time and it will never happen in 5 years from that I have no doubts.
I think it would be in around 10 years from now and than its even the question if it will.

Its gonna be a long term indeed to become stable, I think that there is no doubt about that it will be done but that the question is when it will happen.
Honestly no one can predict this because the future of the bitcoin is also unpredictable and can go to all kind of ways.

The volatility is all relative. In the 2013 to 2015, the bitcoin price could drop by 80%, but that might not happen in the future.

Growth of bitcoin is really fast because of the technology that progressing so fast too. The two is directly proportion because bitcoin is connected in technology.

The volatility the 2013 price drop and the November 2015 price increase is typically how it goes with bitcoin.
This volatility will last at least for a few years. The problem is that the whales control to much coins and interest in bitcoins so speculation on it gives them millions dollars of profit.

yes, the growth has a really rapid pace because more and more people are buying their bitcoins right now, i think that the price is table now but it is definitely going to grow

Yes, it is unpredictable for most of us, however there are some analysts who formulate and even hit upon their predictions, it's just a matter of searching.

The bitcoin price performance is much more mature now. It will rise faster, then have a period of correction.

I hate it when the price is stable because Bitcoin becomes really boring at that point and some people might even quit.
I also have thought a couple of times of quoting but I am going to be patient and wait it out.

My opinion differs. When the bitcoin price is stable, or rise slowly but steadily, more people will rise, the price  will rise.

i dont think tht it is good to see the bitcoin price stable because it will be too boring for people and they will not want to invest anything as they will not be able to make money

Traders like the volatile price so that they can make more money. Investors like to stable rising price.

Stable price is the major factor for a good currency. When the price of bitcoin becomes stable like Euro, it will be a good currency.

I just wish the bitcoin price rises or drops no more than 5% every months, that is as good as major currencies.

There is no guarantee that the price of a bitcoin will increase or drop. Now that the good times are rolling as the bitcoin price is stable. If it drops too it will be a good currency to its users.

Bitcoin will never stable.. bitcoin will be more price increase these coming months.. for now we are just experiencing of slow movement of the price just lets hop that the price of bitcoin will be increase more soon.

Actually, I am quite happy with the fact that we probably never going to lose the volatility in the market. It allows the market to get a constant flow of new money coming in. That's the main thing.

There will come a time when the price will be stable, but it is too early.
I got a feeling there are too many person who hold to many coins, and they are controlling bitcoin, like it is their baby. Every price increase or large dump -100 dollar is because they want it.
And not because the market wants it.

As time goes on, the distribution of the bitcoin will be more evenly if people use the bitcoin as a currency.

i think bitcoin is not going to go down any time in the future because a lot of people will be interested even though the price is really stable now

What we're talking about bitcoin's being stable is temporary, bitcoin price has a possibility to stabilize within a month but it will never be permanent because bitcoin has this behavior of being volatile.

Bitcoin has always had plateaus where it has been relatively stable for a little while, but it always finds a way to make itself more volatile and start moving the price up and down. The value will always start to move at some point, it just needs a nudge in the right direction. If it can't get that nudge, it'll slow and start to flatten out, like what we're seeing.

Could the stability be as a result of people not buying bitcoins as much. I think the trade volume went down after the halving or the price won't fall like it did.

its great that the price is stable i think that means that it is going to grow soon

Yes it have some scenario that price will stable for a long time and suddenly drop nor up and we cant really tell when it gonna happen since theirs no halving awaiting for this time and really flactuationa are really unsafe for those who selects to hold rather than use it in some good ways, but i believe that this price where remain flatten as you said and hope to move on next month forward.

After the sudden drop, the bitcoin price will rise a lot. That has happened several times before. It also happened to Ethereum.

Don't compare ethereum movements here as it was purely manipulated and eth are not that great in numbers compare to bitcoin.

Bitcoin today doesn't need now a pure manipulation since even at $50 increase attempt, many users will ride the wave resulting for a significant price increase.

I do personally not like it when the price is stable for a to long time because at that point it is just boring.
You have to wait for the price to go up or down again.

No one will quit. And if there are people that will indeed quit, then we're much better off without them as they don't add anything of value to Bitcoin. I personally don't mind stability as it gives less experienced Bitcoiners and the average joe more incentive to use Bitcoin as currency.

If anything, this stability could attract more people into bitcoin. Because if the price remains this way, people would now start to look as it as an alternative currency, much like the dollar which is also a very stable currency. Although it is not really bitcoin's nature to be stable, this thing going on could last a while because nothing has really happened to make the price jump up and down again.

Stability can't attract more people but people are already attracted that's why bitcoin reached the status of becoming a stable one. That's I don't want bitcoin to become popular more since I care for the price and Im using bitcoin as an investment.

Aside from the benefits we can get from using bitcoin, let's just take advantage of that investment since big whales are still here making such trend.

Stability may not attract investors or traders. But stability can attract more users and the price will rise gradually.

now the stability of bitcoin has been break and the bitcoin is in downfall direction, the price is about 130 USD down from its stable position within 3 days, so what do you think what will happen, is it possible that the price of bitcoin will come back to its previous position, i personally hopping that very soon the price of bitcoin will be cover, and it will gain its previous position very soon.
