Reaching $10,000 is not anymore a problem this year, we have seen a multiple times that bitcoin reached that price.
You are right, the only problem now is the stability, which I think normal for bitcoin since it's very volatile, so maybe we can make some strategy to take advantage on that.
By buying bitcoin when it dump, this would give you a good way to be profitable, as long as you trust bitcoin of course.
Many times panic happens and bitcoin dip, therefore we should trust bitcoin every time it dip and buy it.
For what I've seen, it's not impossible for Bitcoin to get past $10k. Right now, it's an oddity since whales are heavily manipulating Bitcoin's price on the market. One needs to be vigilant in order to sell Bitcoin when it touches the $10k range. Once it manages to sustain prices of $10k for some time, there should be nothing stopping it from reaching higher gains on the market. At least, the third halving had a positive effect over Bitcoin's price in the short term. Maybe in the next 2 to 3 years from now, Bitcoin will be able to reach a new ATH. It's all a matter of patience in order to obtain good results with your investment.
Impatient people will quickly sell their Bitcoin, triggering a panic sell on the market. If there are more people selling Bitcoin than what they're buying, prices will go down the drain. Bitcoin's volatility may be risky, but it proves to be a great way to make profits in the short term. Considering Bitcoin's reduction in block reward every 4 years, it should become much more valuable than what it is right now in the future. Let's hope that Bitcoin never loses its value, resembling Gold in every way. Just my opinion
