I think this stability will not last for long time and prices will surge soon.
As you mentioned many factors caused this temporary stabilization because bitcoiners are afraid and they do not buy or sell, we don't see a big traffic as usual.
Every one is waiting for things to be more clear before making any move.
I am really banking on that. What is going on with the market is normal after a long FUD and downtrend with a break of every trading analysis and most traders just dusting their boots and going on compulsory vacation. No one knows yet if the market downtrend is over, and even though we have bullish signals, the moneys are scared to come into the market, but I really hope we get some little bit of spark in the market soon though to alleviate buying momentum.
For now I think bitcoin is a bit stable. Banning and other negative issues had been overcomed by the trust some company gives by supporting the use of bitcoins and the legalizing of bitcoins in some countries lessen the fear of bitcoin holders. I think bitcoin prices will be going up again.
There is even nothing to fear, although the market showed some new investors on how volatile the crypto space can really be. Hopefully, we get to test back the previous tops, but if at the end of it all, the market decides to get some stability, then let's see how that works for the meantime, probably that would be some good time to use some of the alts to get more bitcoin while we have a little bit less volatile bitcoin.
