Bitcoin will always remain volatile no matter what happens in future. The short uptrend upto $19k is kind of a bubble which kinda popped before Christmas to weed out the greedy and weak traders.

But since then, the price reached to a moderately stable form at around $13500 with +-20% variance. So you can't really define stability in that sense.
Now if you segregate price segments into several periods of dominance, you can call it moderately stable though.


This. Don't think numerous forks are the prime reason for the price hike.
