I think you're kidding!!!
How can you call "stable" something that daily jumps up and down by 10%/15%?
This is a crazy level of volatility, not stability!
Btw, in these days we saw a bloody campaign against bitcoin, crypto and ICO, but it's interesting how well bitcoin resisted.
I predict a big growth in the next months, may be with the same percentage of 2017.
We'll see.

People feel that bitcoin has rally so much in 2017 despite all the negativity and several fork trying to limit bitcoin growth. The saw bitcoin that was resilient and solid. I think people's confidence in bitcoin have grown to a point where bitcoin is consider as an asset both for now and especially for future.
That's absolutely true but still there are bunch of people who are easily made to believe that bitcoin will be banned and whenever there is a slightest dump there are made to believe that as end of bitcoin and forced to sell it at lower price we need a proper community.

Bitcoin has earned this trust after too much hard work. It was never easy for bitcoin to be on the top of the list of crypto currencies and to maintain its position. The market is full of competition and the thing is that bitcoin has the largest market among all right now and people are really after this coin because at present it is accepted worldwide. Even now billionaires have started investing into this mighty coin. People feel that bitcoin has rally so much in 2017 despite all the negativity and several fork trying to limit bitcoin growth.

The price of bitcoin is far from stable and there can never be any market that is stable. The market must experience an up and down movement. The price of bitcoin was only lingering within a range, which has now gone below that range. The stability of the currency cannot be determined.
I will have to admit, no matter what happen in the future, as long as there are big whales that still dominating the market then the price of bitcoin will not be easily to become stable, to make bitcoin become stable in such a short time, we need a very long time to grow and develope new regulations and systems that can make bitcoin under control price. it may become stable but it will be a very far future.
If you are talking of price correction, yes. But there is nothing to show the price is stable. The level of FUD is very high, giving way to panic selling.
It is because of such ignorant people who are getting involved and cannot handle the pressure which makes then sell the coins in this panic selling moment. If people just hold it and do not sell automatically price will come where buyers will buy at greater price than the seller who is selling at lower price during panic selling mode. This will actually give them only the higher price than they selling at lower price
I personally think USD5k is very likely. Reasoning: during a crash of a bubble, the baseline to the start of the original parabolic growth is very likely; as those who enters after that point in time are paying, increasingly, exponentially more to enter into the market as the price went up way too fast.
4.5USD? maybe.. some even predicts that it might go down to 2kUSD eventually this round (but I am kinda sceptical).
It has risen slightly as some whales decides to buy in, however, the drop might not be just over yet (I don't see a sudden change as a real recovery), until all the negative news have finished rolling out. Hard to tell if the market have switched into bearish/bullish phase base on events occurring in an hour or two, or even 12hrs or a day sometimes.
I think it will likely go down to USD7k, and stabilize a while; and might go down even further till mid Feb(?)
Basically, it could very well continue to drop in phases, as the regulatory news starts rolling out + countries staying that they are considering banning it completely, etc. More are certainly to come.
In the longer term, hopefully, there will be an accumulation of an increasingly experienced HODLers to provide a more stable higher baseline?
I'm not an experienced trader, but these are just my own personal pondering and thoughts.

Bitcoin and all altcoins will become more hype this 2018 its because a huge portion of stockmarket holders and forex traders are joining the crypto currency. Just try to imagine if all altcoins and Bitcoin reach trillion market cap each.
2018 has just started so I think we can't really tell yet whether it's going to be 'stable' or not. Bitcoin has been dropping so much this month, but I think it's expected because this is what always happend in the beginning of the year.
Personally, I think bitcoin will stay at it's place right now, and it won't be rising significantly like before anymore. The reason is, in my opinion, because of altcoins. Altcoins are really famous now and people tend to put their investment fund on altcoins / ICO now instead of bitcoin. So basically, I think it's because of altcoins are the new 'hype' changing bitcoin therefore bitcoin is not rising as much as before anymore.
Regarding the market manipulations, I believe yes, some elite group who hold a lot SUM of bitcoin must be manipulating the price every once in a while. It's really inevitable in my opinion.
I firmly believe that the price of bitcoin will not be stable in 2018, because within one month the price of bitcoin has been continuously adjusted from $ 19800 to $ 16000 then $ 12000 and the time The current bitcoin price is only $ 9000 after the Indian bitcoin ban. In the beginning of the year, the price of bitcoin has been extremely volatile, which suggests that bitcoin will continue to fluctuate continuously and show no signs of stabilization.

Bitcoin price will not became stable ,yeah its going down but its flactuating and we all know that being dump in crypto is normal just wait for the increasing of price everything will be going alright soon.Dont panic bitcoin will not going to be stable ,holding on is the best way and hoping for rising of value again.
Saying stable is not right under the current actions. The price dropped significantly and affrected the other altcoins negatively in the biggest manner.
Stable? Are you serious? I think you're confusing something. Bitcoin is completely unstable, as well as any other currency. The rate is rising then falling but recently there has been a noticeable tendency to decline.
my apologies

" Why is bitcoin price so stable in 2018"
Really?
Are you sure we are speaking about the same Bitcoin?
BTC is taking diving lessons right now...
Really?

What do you think is happening?
Is people hoding less their coins?
Is there more manipulation by big whales, speculators or big institutional investors trying to profit the flavour of the moment?
I feel that there are big players "pumping and dumping" in order to manipulate the market to stabilize price and "control" in a certain way the price fluctuation.
Obviously bitcoin is very dangerous for our old corrupted economy, don't you think that in acertain way there's an unusual stop of the past few months trend?
After reaching $20k there's a correction to $17k and then price stabilizes at 11-12k with mini-dips that last seconds before going uptrend...
In my opinion the key factor could be also that if bitcoin reaches $30-50k then it will be very difficult for newcomers to buy bitcoin for buying altcoins in the exchanges.
So that stabilizing the price to an affordable $10k for a while could be a way to engage more people to bitcoinworld.
Or maybe it's all ok, there's no manipuation, it is a stanby before the big run to $50k-100k. Then newcomers will start buying and trading in Ethereum or Litecoin, because at the moment there aren't exchanges accepting fiat money, you have to enter and buy your altcoins directly with cryptocurrencies...
Which in your opinion are the main reasons?

Well, define “stable”. In the first place, it is only january. In the second, I don’t believe the price is stable right now, there are fluctuations of over $1000 per week, which means a lot of money if you think on those who have a significant number of them, or if you attend to the big picture here, I mean, the market current value of BTC itself.
If you take a look of the whole history of BTC, you will see it was “stable” for years (from july, 2013 to approximate the spring of 2017). Since there, it has been going up and down, and I think thats precisely the reason we see it now as “surprisingly stable”.
Look at the graphic below. The whole history of BTC versus the last year. It has been crazy from the last 11 months.
So, what I mean, is: stable or not, it depends only on your own perspective and on what do you compare the current situation.
Thinking on the future, I believe it is going get up and down all 2018 until, at least, it reaches a “stable” price. It depends directly on how it is going to be use, if as a current coin (for instance, for payments in Amazon, or so), or as it has been use, principally from the last year: as an investment on speculation market.
Yes, the trend has changed during the las days, it has been more or less the same during january and now is going to the bottom gaining more volatility as in the last months.
Talking about stability, I don't think bitcoin will reach a stable price, I like to imagne bitcoin variations (in therms of $) ever stronger when we'll reach 2/3 trillions market cap, but we will get used to.
The revolution wll be so strong that bitcoin will be influenced more and more by geopolitical events, reaching a new sphere of dominance and position in the global economical system.
The game is fascinating me every day more, I am very curious to see how community will react now, because the situation is very different from past years. Now there are millions of people holding their own bitcoins (or fractions of it) and if we all understand that holding is the key to make bitcoin great, bitcoin price will rise target that we even imagine during 2018.

i think it will rise again
It will, for sure because as what we knew that the price is flactuated and we do not have to worry about this because we have a choices either we hold or sell. But for me the exact way is to hold until such time will rise. If that day will happen cheerish every bitcoiner.
