I'm thinking exactly the same thing, most likely it will be stable at the 500 dollar at the end of this year with all these events that are upcoming.
There is even a chance it will even hit the 500 dollar next month but it will of course not be stable next month so that is why I said at the end of this year.
i think a lot people here will be very disappointed when the price stays around $500 at the end of the year. it's mainly due to them having way too high expectations from the block halving. they think the price might even touch $1000 before the end of the year. they only don't realize what it takes to get the price to $1000. there will me massive amounts of sell orders popping up at every round price level as $500-$600-$700 and so on. it's not that easy as some may think.
