I think bitcoin's price stucking is worse than crash of bitcoin's price because people can't predict what will happen and make wrong decisions when it stucked between $10K-12K
Of course, it's better to see bitcoin price just fluctuating between $11K-$12K instead of seeing it going down.
Even though we are stuck in the $12,000 or $11,000 I really think bitcoin need a slow in progress right now that Altcoins are the one that gaining more attention because of its cheap price and when it pumps you can surely get profit that fast, But I think even if we had dip down to the $9000 mark bitcoin will still recover because if bitcoin reach that certain price I really think it will go that mark and even beyond that that is the true nature of bitcoin.
I think the road to recovery has started, I will also like it to see in a slow progress. We don't want it to rally again to quick, as we all know what follow next after that. As for altcoins, yes, they are gaining huge percentage per day because they are quite cheap compare to bitcoin. More investors, newcomers flocks to their market and wait what will be the emotion of bitcoin ecosystem, will it go to another bearish trend or will the bull takes over once more?
