I'm looking at Bitcoin charts for the past few days and it looks like a straight flat line. I'm not sure whether to feel happy or sad about this but could this possibly be related to the fact that we now have bitcoin futures? Does this mean bitcoin volatility will be less?

not necessarily less volatility but it certainly has shrank but it has nothing to do with this period that you are seeing. right now it is either an accumulation phase or a phase where most people are uncertain and don't know what to do because price has gone up a lot but it also had lots of corrections.
this means many may be waiting to see which way bitcoin is going to go before they make their next decision. for example if they see it broke out and started to rise then they will buy, and if it broke below the resistance and started to drop they will sell.

volatility is not over yet and will not happen this year or few years later on,
because volatility is part of the game and the charachter of Bitcoin itself,also because of that many people using it to do the trade.

no matter what will happen with it,like a listing on future's or something similiar to that thing,
it will not change the fact that we're not doing a real 'trade' on those future's but instead we're trading the 'instrument'.
which mean there'll be a day when we're seeing a huge movement,
it's all due to limited supply that Bitcoin has and at the same time the demand that keep increasing from time to time.

in other words,the volatility will not stop and will always find it way to make its move.

Nah. Bitcoin has never been truly stable, and I don't think futures trading can cause that drastic of an effect, especially in its first week. If anything, futures trading would introduce more volatility. I imagine more market movement, with traders going in and out is going to actually increase volatility. We'll see. Either way, people overestimating futures trading effects seem to be a current trend. All I really see is that it brings in more demand, and brings Bitcoin a step closer to ETFs.

Bitcoin's price has only been stable at around the $16,000-$17,000 price mark for only like 4 days. Bitcoin's price has been stable for longer than that in the past. The volatility is definitely not over, and is FAR from over. Also, bitcoin futures will definitely make bitcoin a lot more volatile in my opinion. There's going to be bigger whales that could affect bitcoin's price.

I agree, its seems that when CME officially starts, the volatility is reduced to at extend although there are price daily price swings, but I noticed that the price would go on a flat line at the range mentioned above. But make no mistakes, this relatively slow lessened volatility will just be temporary. I can't see for certain though is this bitcoin futures contracts will make bitcoin more volatile, but we can at least factor them as far as where the price is going because right now they are really the main driver behind the current upward trend.

As long as the whole world is not yet jumping into the bitcoin world volatility won't be over. Though this past few weeks bitcoin's price become quite stable, it doesn't mean volatility is over. And I'm sure, this coming weeks, or after Christmas, I'm expecting a big rise on bitcoin's price.

Well a lot of people are already flocking into the market, but I'm sure that there are still waiting to get through though. Bitcoin features includes is high volatility so I really doubt that it is over. And remember that it purely based on speculation, that alone its an ingredient in seeing the price being unstable as long as it exist.

BITCOINS future aren't even introduced yet thus why to blame them? Also this flat line that you are talking about is just a matter of some days .. you can say the volatility is over if this continues for over a month or so... Just some days can't ensure that something has happened to the system.

Also volatility played both good and bad part as far as the good part is concerned we were abld to invest during the downs and gain higher profits then again sometimes the bubble when it brusted then the sudden drop in price made some investors to fly away.. and also if someone cashed out then ... It was preety harsh... On their wallets seeing the price right now...

The volatility will diminish from time to time, but in my view we are way too early in this exponential curve to expect price stability, especially with the smart money pouring in. We will see massive moves in the coming weeks and months in both directions. Investors should expect a rocky road.

Bitcoin entering into some stock markets in the USA will give it more popularity and stability. but i think it will increase further.
it will attract new investors from the stock market as well.

The bitcoin futures market currently has high margin requirements that are keeping a lot of investors away. Regulators have noticed Bitcoin's volatility and are probably trying to prevent the bubble cycle that is usually triggered in part by futures trading.

But then again, I'm relatively new. I may not know what I'm talking about. Cheesy

The volatility is not over, this is certain! We have period of slower trading due to a number of facts with the most important being that we are waiting for the 20th and the futures market. Investors aren't sure how the market will take it and aren't willing to put huge money in before there are some visible changes on the charts.
