Now there has been a considerable increase outstanding against bitcoin. price increases occurred only in a very short time once. I am optimistic that bitcoin will rise back towards 700USD. I hope it becomes a reality.  Wink

Dreams are becoming true with bitcoin. And I think we are not been stuck in $600 it is because of the fluctuation of the demand of bitcoin in the market.

So the higher demand of bitcoin in the market then it is going to make the price of bitcoin faster. So in conclusion, the demand for these month with bitcoin is falling at first.

But as of now, the price is rising. Just believe and it will pump.

Why are we stuck in the $600 price range for so long?

What do you think is the reason behind this?
Maybe there is no many buyer yet of bitcoin so that it is stock in 600$

It has nothings to do with there being many buyers or not. It's a waiting game that can last quite a long time as everyone is waiting for a large player to pull the trigger. And exactly that has happened as we have seen the price increase nicely.

Another things is that people think very lightly on the price remaining at more or less the same levels for a certain time. They directly create threads such as OP and complain about the price being stuck. What these people don't realize is that keeping the price at the same levels for quite some time, requires a good amount of support from people. It's not that nothing is happening when the price doesn't seem to move. The problem is that the majority of the people simply don't understand/see it.

Maybe there is no many buyer yet of bitcoin so that it is stock in 600$ or maybe some traders are earning there money to buy more bitcoin so we do have wait that bitcoin price goes up. So the 600BTC range of bitcoin now is so stable. But that is good than bitcoin drop the price.

Well, a lot happened after bitfinex hacked, and I think bitcoin prices are stuck at a price of $ 600, however, I think the current price of bitcoin already started to move my son, and it may be beneficial for people who have been patiently hold bitcoin tang they had. Well, maybe next month the price of bitcoin will be out of $ 700

as the price of bitcoin was trading round about 660 USD before the bitfinex issue  but after bitfinex issue people start panic selling of bitcoin and the price of bitcoin reach to 500 USD, and after that market recover its position and was trading below 600USD for a long time, i think the reason was just the confidence fo the people, people were not interested to invest their money in bitcon becasue of lack of confidence, but now people start using it its mean that they have not got confidence on bitcoin.

this is seriously the same story as 10 months ago. i mean look at the history:
Are we going to stay at $400 for a long time?
now look at the charts:
https://bitcoincharts.com/charts/bitstampUSD#rg360ztgSzm1g10zm2g25zv

the exact same thing is happening on the charts and the same thing on the forum, weak hands will soon be shaken out and then the rise begins and those weak hands join in again and price goes to $750


The problem is that Bitcoin's moves are sudden.  Wink
Only long term hodlers are not worried about these intermediate periods of stability/flatness.

Bitcoin price like every other crypto currency is based on supply-demand which means that there shouldn't be enough demand otherwise the price will decrease or stay stable. Everyone is currently holding their coins instead of spending/exchanging them hoping that they will become rich.
I do agree however that It's kinda weird since the halving block reward happened and we didn't move much while miners should be out of stock of 25 BTC (the old supply) block rewards.
SegWit should happen in November and Lightning network should start getting developed just after that , hopefully that will bring more users to the Bitcoin world !

Honestly i really don't know what is the real reason but for me before bitfinex was hack we are in 700 value level if bitfinex was not hack expect that the price should be in 800 value or staying in 700 value after block halving.. we are lucky that we are here again back below in 700 value.. and i think the reason why the price of bitcoin still staying in this position it's because many people are still believing for bitcoin that the price will increase soon so they are still holding their bitcoins and wait for price changes soon..

I tend to agree about Bitfinex part, if it weren't for the hack, we'd be in the $700 to $800 now for sure.

Why are we stuck in the $600 price range for so long?

What do you think is the reason behind this?
The reason behind this is that there are more and more users and as the users will increase the price will become stable because then if someone sells 100 or even 200 bitcoins the market wont change much while if there were limited number of people then market fluctuates much quickly.
Huge investors or  traders  or even whales could  actually make  the  price  of bitcoin move. We are stuck on a particular  price because there are  no activities on that time frame and i assume all of those bitcoin users just tend to  hold their  bitcoin and  dont intend to  sell or  buy even more.

We are not suck anymore but it was because of the buy and selling period was not really doing anything, there was nobody doing it and due to that the price was bases on the 600 dollar.
Its pretty funny that this happened but I think it will from now on rise and go to a nice amount.

Because too many people are doing nothing to promote Bitcoin to other people. We will not see a massive increase in the price from current Bitcoin hoarders, because most of them have already bought their share of the coins. I buy much smaller amounts on a monthly basis now, than what I did when I entered the scene many years ago.

Some people buy and sell during normal trading, but it is not new fiat money coming into the pool, only old money being circulated. What are you waiting for, get out there and promote Bitcoin to new people. ^smile^
Yes, but according to my theory if the number of people will increase and the amount of bitcoins will decrease per user, like suppose everyone in the world holds 0.0001 btc then yes the price would be around 100k $ per bitcoins but at the same time there would be no price changes at all and hence no price trading.

We were pretty stuck in that price due to the fact there was no event and there was  no one selling or buying with some nice numbers.
I think that due to that it was on a stable price.

I see this stable price as pure manipulation by whales so that they can bag hold cheap bitcoins thrown to them by some light hearted traders and after they get good amount of bitcoin they will pump the price hard and the one who lost in between this will be all small traders and whales will always win.

already a few days the price of bitcoin survive in a number of around 600USD. precisely in the price of 630USD. now there is no longer a substantial increase. bitcoin prices are stable and there is no movement at all.

remember the time when the price was below the $300 price level for such a long time back in 2015? i think we should be happy with the fact that we reached this price. it's more than 100% increased in that period till now. better enjoy the current stability than asking why the price is stuck.
Yeah that's true, i never expected the price to double in just a year. And as you remember the price didn't rise suddenly (Excluding the halving) it was gradual. It been only few months that we are in the $600-650 range it will increase and even if the price remains stable that's not entirely wrong thing.
And this the graph for last month, hope it will keep going up  Cheesy
