Topic: Why is bitcoin price so stable in 2018? - page 8. (Read 1180 times)
It has always been unstable from the beginning! Put this in mind, 'stability' and 'guarantee' does not exist in the world financial market as it can soar and dive every so often brought about by so many factors that may be beyond ones control. This day certain is part of the risk you took when you decide to invest in Bitcoin. Hence, this price fluctuation should not appear shocking to your senses at all. Unless you have other observations based on the previous years that are unique in 2018? There could be plentiful school of thoughts on this but one thing is certain, this event is nothing unusual. Best for you to do is to take precautions.
The word 'stable' doesn't seem to fit with cryptocurrency, the price is going from hi to low within the range of 10k-12k. It's still to early to be worried about the value of bitcoin, surely it will recover from the current price dip.
January is always a slow period for the Bitcoin and Altcoin markets. Remember also that the Chinese Lunar New Year is coming so many of the Chinese whales are taking out their BTC and Altcoins so they can prepare for the biggest holiday for themselves and their families in China. Chinese New Year is the most important holiday for the Chinese People and they buy gifts and give red packages of money to their families.
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?
In my opinion , the main reason why the value of bitcoin this past few weeks are stable between 11-12k is because the supplies of BTC in the market are enough. There is no shortage happening that cause the bitcoin to rise. And because all the demand are being sustain by the bitcoin, there will be no huge movement happen. And thats what makes the bitcoin more safe than before.Is people hoding less their coins?

2018 has just started, and it's a bit early to say BTC price has been stable or unstable. That being said, I don't think we can call it stable right now. Many fluctuations in January, and every time it fluctuated the alts went down with it.
Will be remembered with the unforgettable price movements of December 2017 and January 2018. But for me, Bitcoin price has been tested for stability in January, and for some weeks Bitcoin has shown little volatility.What do you think is happening?

I think Bitcoin will not be stable. Bitcoin will start to grow again after a few months. Bitcoin prices will not reduce. Many people are now dependent on Bitcoin. Bitcoin future is always bright.
Agreed, no doubt in it. Bitcoin is all about the growth. Maybe the time vary than what we've predicted for the growth to resume from the point from which it started to go downwards. With some exchange related regulations the price has been found stable, hope this will be overcome shortly. So it will better to buy right now. Let them sell all their coins and I hope they regret it afterwards.
I believe in holdinhg it. Somehow there will be a big pump this year.
About the stability.
We just got used to a higher number of pumps and dumps and now we are thinking it is already in moderation.
But it is not. 300-400 dollars is a lot of movement.

Yes, the price is quite a bit stable between 10K to 13K and keep between this range. I have heard from many sources and almost every one say that bitcoin will be 100,000K or even more value this year. So if this is true and it really happens, then this price of only 12K *current price" is a very good price to but a lot of bitcoins. Its still cheap if you compare it with 50 - 100K range.
After bitcoin prices are reaching to previous high levels we can expect what we have experienced the in the past. I mean to say the volatility of bitcoin prices will come into action when bitcoin will be starting its another round of rally.
I am not seeing any stability of bitcoin rather a bearish market of it. This I think is normal, last year this was also felt. Plus, we had been hearing news about the government's action against bitcoin so this factor would be affecting.
I see the bitcoin is increasingly stable, you see the price of bitcoin is only moving in the infinitely small as high as 10%. Show that bitcoin is at the threshold that we can buy, this is our chance, you probably know bitcoin has time up to $ 20,000 and I believe the bitcoin value is even higher that too.
I think there is not much thing happen in bitcoin trading recently so it makes the price of bitcoin not moves in high volatile.
Many people waiting for good time to act in bitcoin trading since last 2 weeks, price of bitcoin is bearish.

The price of bitcoin is not clearly stable in the past 30 days the price of bitcoin up and down, i dont know what is happen the price of bitcoin in the market. I think due to panic selling or low supply in the market.
So it will better to buy right now. Let them sell all their coins and I hope they regret it afterwards.

The volatile nature of bitcoin will never make this bitcoin having some stable market value. In fact, it will keep on fluctuating most of the time.
These are the aftereffects of major correction that had happen early this month.The investors are afraid and confuse whether to invest or to sell what they have.This situation is not only for bitcoin but dip has an adverse effect on every possible alt.There has been a panic situation all around and due to this lack of transactions the prices are at hold and it is not at all a great news but I am sure situation will only get better from now on and we will again see the domination of bitcoin on cryptoworld.
We can say that it is so volatile not so stable. Also volatility means profit in here for day traders. For long term investors in is below 20k so I know there are a lot of people who bought btc around 16k.
This means these people should wait a little bit more than a few months at least to have their USD same with when they bought..

We can see that by the end of 2017 the price of bitcoin has skyrocketed to $ 20,000, but only in the beginning of 2018 has the bitcoin price dropped to nearly 50 percent, hovering around $ 9,000- $ 15,000. We all know that in early 2018 Bitcoin signed a futures contract, which I think is precisely the reason why the price of bitcoin is stable at this level. I know bitcoin is preparing for the next futures contract. Is people hoding less their coins?

It has only been a month so we can't really talk about its stability. Infact, it is gonna be very unstable at certain time of the year. Prices will rise to sky high and then they will drop like never before.
I hope the bitcoin price won't drop lower than 10K, otherwise it might be a tragedy for newcomers

LoL - it is the first time that someone calls Bitcoin's price "stable". 
What's happening now is a consolidation of the price. Weak hands are selling, strong hands are buying and the process is in equilibrium, so that the price remains quite stable. Until it will break up either to the upside ot the downside.

you have an interesting definition of stable. mostly boring and occasionally scary is a better description.
this is a dead time of year always and all of crypto just had the most incredible run. parties ain't meant to last. many exchanges are still closed to new users. google searches have cooled off big time.
consolidation after what just happened is the best case scenario. i'm not sure whether we're gonna get it.

A very very strange definition of stable, it's been nothing but stable. The price has probably changed more in terms of swings in this month than most others. Right now it's fairly stable but that's because of the consolidation and that a bottom seems to have been found.
maybe you have another definition of "Stability" cause I can't seem to agree with that, maybe we're just used to bitcoin prices surging like crazy like the other year. But todays market still shows sign of volatility though it's not the same as last year but we're just still in 1st quarter of 2018, so we can't be sure what lies in the future.
