The focus of traders are now distributed so expect that bitcoin will get calm or shall we say get stable for the couple of days since xrp,doge and other coins are been traded well by majority. But if many will look at bitcoins and create a big demands for sure we can see the price reach up at $40k since it's quite reachable at especially the rate now is at $35,9k+ as of this writing.
I do agree that bitcoin becoming a bit more "stable" was something we all expected but the reality is that we didn't become stable, we became stagnant and that is a bit of a problem. If bitcoin price was stable it would have been stable but right now price is trying to be volatile again and not be stable yet it fails.
When price doesn't want to move that is called stable but when the price wants to move but fails to move that is not stable that is stagnancy and that is not a good thing. I hope that price does go to a level (up or down) where it is comfortable and stable but right now it is not like that at the moment. Eventually we are going to end up seeing a stable price but that price is not here, it is going to be either higher or lower.
