Is bitcoin volatility here to stay?

[Argoo]

I don't think that Bitcoin volatility will go away one day. Just look what happened after Bitcoin reached new ATH yesterday. The price fell around $3,500 in about half an hour.

If it did really fell that's just a minor pull back, bitcoin is already stable at $40k, it's trading at $41k and that is very bullish, I mean the bullish movement still continues without any sign of correction to start happening again. Well, we saw a little correction this year but that was a short lived one, so price will continue to rise, and volatility is therefore will stay.

It is unlikely that a short-lived, but a decent drop in the price of bitcoin recently can be called a correction of its rate. This is just the usual manifestation of its volatility. Apparently, significant batches of bitcoins were put on the market for sale, which led to its almost instant drop in price. Even if its capitalization grows significantly, Bitcoin is unlikely to be able to get rid of this high volatility. It seems to me that Bitcoin and the high volatility of its price will always be together.

First of all, the volatility of bitcoin will depend on those who keep bitcoin in their wallets. If a big whale holds Bitcoin only in order to immediately sell and earn it when the maximum is reached, then the volatility of Bitcoin will also persist, but if the Bitcoin keepers want to have a stable asset with a high value, then this will not happen.

There's no need to use the word "if" because whales rea really selling when they sees profit, they buy at dip and sell at peak, sometimes they even sell even at 5% or 10% profit, because with big holdings, they'll make a decent profit already.

That's is also the reason why when bitcoin's price decline the market of it continues to decline even further as majority of whales are starting to sell most of holding to prevent the chance of losing potential income. Anyway a single whale cannot change the price of bitcoin unless they hold too much of it.
If I am correct these whales also have some kind of group chat where they can talk and discuss on where and when to invest and also the time to sell their cryptos which could impact the price of bitcoin once they decided to sell.

Bitcoin is volatile in nature and the increase in price now does not dispute this fact. The price increase is here to stay

Price increases will come in time and decline will come back for me for the next few months. So be careful to hold onto what you have for too long

It is inevitable for the price of bitcoin to decline after this bullish run and we can expect a massive dip on the price of bitcoin afterwards which can only take a day or two to happen.
Bitcoin's current price will not stay as it is for now but we may be able to see this price range on the near future after next halving.

Most likely it will. I think that there is no point in trying to guess the exact time frame when bitcoin will go for a correction, it is important to understand that this is inevitable, but it can happen either soon or in half a year. For example, bitcoin can grow to $ 6,000 within the next six months and only then go to a correction.

Of course, everyone understands that, except for those who are into FOMO, they'll never understand the correction because they believe bitcoin is just going one way and that is an uptrend. Actually if people will not FOMO, bitcoin will not rise this high and correction is not that big too.

as the institutionals entered the market, do you  think it could decrease the volatitlity ?

Bitcoin, by its nature, is not tied to anything and therefore the will is already laid down in the rules of the game and the foundations of its existence, so if after some time the price of bitcoin suddenly becomes stable, it means that the economic system of the world has collapsed and humanity has decided to rely on bitcoin for a while, taking it as the basis of the economy. Or is it something completely different, but not about bitcoin

If you are so much concerned about the correction, then you can do profit booking now. Depending on your situation, you can sell anywhere from 20% to 50% of your coins and reduce your exposure to risk. However, if you are in for the long term, then the possibility of a correction should not bother you much. Even if there is a correction, the prices will get back to the previous levels after sometime.

What do you mean?

Bitcoin is volatile, in fact, one of the words that would come into your mind when you talk about bitcoin is its volatility. The reason that we are seeing this huge price leap for a period of weeks now is the fact that Bitcoin is volatile. Volatility doesn't just talk about dumping of price, as long as the price quickly changes in short period of time, as long as it can be affected by small movements, it is volatile.

Bitcoin is volatile because it is still in the Innovator - Early adopter phase. And this is similar to some of the equities as well. Check the case of Apple stock. It was first listed in 1981, and during the first two-three decades it gave 10x returns or more. The percentage increase tapered down, as the market cap increased over the years. The same will happen to Bitcoin as well.

This year, we might tell how early it is.

We've been asking for its wide adoption and for years, we are just relying on price movements. Right now, we are now experiencing small adoptions and we just hope that this year would be the start of that adoption. Maybe it is also the reason why we are seeing these price spikes happening.

I don't think that Bitcoin volatility will go away one day. Just look what happened after Bitcoin reached new ATH yesterday. The price fell around $3,500 in about half an hour.

Bitcoin volatility will remain unless bitcoin is massively adopted and have a very large market caps in few trillions. When the marketcap of bitcoin is increased and many people posses bitcoins, then it will be difficult for the whales and institutions to manipulate it.

Marketcap could grow if people keeps investing, the main  purpose of bitcoin is for online transaction and since some are holding for the purpose of selling it when the price rises, that makes the price to be volatile, so anytime we could see that, a pump and dump has become a normal for bitcoin.

I am a strong believer in HODL. I expected bitcoin volatility decreases as time goes by, I totally didn't expect such big price change in the past several days.

Is bitcoin volatility here to stay and not decrease?

I honestly think that the Bitcoin volatility is here to stay for a very, very, very long time no matter if pumps or dumps. The crypto market is still small and young, so there is a lot of room for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to grow even further as institutions are starting to buy Bitcoin from all over the world. I also believe that only less than 0.01% of the institutions worldwide are buying it, and there are still a lot of them who are not yet aware but may be gaining interest later on.

What you have posted is correct. But investment from institutions are very susceptible to regulatory action. We all saw what happened to XRP, after the SEC acted against it. The same would happen to Bitcoin if they take a similar stance against that coin as well. For now, everyone is ignoring this risk factor. But it is like the sword of Damocles, always hanging over our head.

According to my conclusion the unstable rate will increment with the increment of cost since we have exceptionally moo sum of bitcoin so which makes it more delicate to the advertise changes but when it comes to remain until the end of time or not, only we have the answers. If we keep exchanging the bitcoins and not utilizing as cash until the end of time at that point the instability moreover will remain until the end of time or we get it decentralization is more vital and begin utilizing as money at that point we are going see much less instability.

[hahay]

Of course, volatility will always be there in the bitcoin market and I don't think that as time goes by it might diminish a little bit but indeed, I'm not sure about that because whales in the market will easily change the chart significantly. I personally do not expect it, because for me such a market will certainly provide many advantages for traders although indeed, this kind of character would be very difficult if it was expected to become a currency so it has been difficult for bitcoin so far.

Tbh, it will never leave. Why? Bitcoin is a variable, cryptos are variable. They play at a market, where rates are undeniably changing every now and then.
If cryptos, Volatility stay, then what are we supposed to do? We Buy and sell our cryptos, in same price? How can we earn or profit it with it?

[MacHenry]

Market works in cycle and no system is perfect from the beginning, it develops in stages. Each cycle brings new big points. A lot of things bring about volatility. Security breaches cause volatility.
Bitcoin can become volatile when the bitcoin community exposes security vulnerabilities in an effort to produce massive open source responses in the form of security fixes.

Bad news hurts adoption rate. News events that scare bitcoin users include geopolitical events and statements by governments that bitcoin is likely to be regulated, etc. On the upside, any statement recognizing butcoin has a positive effect on the market valuation of bitcoin. 

In summary, with gradual adoption of by big corporations firms, governments and others, volatility will gradually reduce.
