Yes, the price of bitcoin is determined by the buyers and sellers. If more people buy bitcoin or in a way that more money follow into bitcoin, the price will increase. But if more money flow out by buying and selling of bitcoin, the price will fall.

This is not possible, anything that will make the buying and selling of bitcoin completely pause for like a week probably means bitcoin is dead already.

Although if the buying and selling pause let say assuming, that means the price will also pause. You can use gold as an example that its trading will pause from 10pm to 11pm daily (GMT +1) and during weekends when market closes, its price also pause.

Basic economics applies here. It's the actions of buyers and sellers that bestow value on something. That's what applies to the value Bitcoin has. In economics, it's called Demand and Supply. Someone is ready to buy (demand) and someone is ready to sell (supply). If demand is greater than supply, price pushes up. If it's the other way round, price dumps.

Merely hodling Bitcoin or any other asset without exposing it to the market won't determine its value. Hodling only shows trust and faith in Bitcoin but it doesn't set its price, only buyers and sellers do.

Regarding to your first question, when you hear about the forces behind the, who are they, the whales and you and me that's if you are an investor, so it means if you're part of Bitcoin investment, you are part of the people that determines the price of Bitcoin by either being among the buyers or sellers, so the answer to your question is yes, mate I think we shouldn't think towards negativity, we are bitcoiners and we should be positive at all, Satoshi Nakamoto himself was very positive about Bitcoin and he knows what will become of Bitcoin in the future that's why he put in somuch effort to make it a reality, Bitcoin was not created to go into extinction rather it was created to solve financial problems, so if everything about Bitcoin should pause, what do you expect to happen?

Yes, you got it right and there's no need for explain it further, because there's nothing more to it. That's how everything works in free markets, and you were describing economics of supply and demand.

But i am interested that before you got to this conclusion, what other factors you thought it would be determined? I am genuinely interested, because this could explain to me how people in general think prices and value of money works. Was it some central entity manipulating all the buy and sell orders or what? Or was this just first time you even wondered it and didn't yet to have opinion so you researched it immediately?

The screen price is based on supply and demand, it is the free market in its purest essence... if there are more buyers than sellers the price goes up, otherwise the price goes down, it's that simple... and as the supply of bitcoin is always decreasing, the price has a tendency to rise to infinity, since fiat currencies are printed without a pre-defined quantity.

There are so many factors that determines for the market price of bitcoin at any point, this majorly have to do with the rate of its equilibrium shift from its demands and supply as the people are buying and selling, this makes it more volatile and in demand,, while the network keep increasing and more people interested are coming in, as you might have known before, the lesser the supply, the more the increase in demand and this is what cause the market to rise, while there are other minor occurrences that may also contributed to a short time market volatility in one directed, such could be breaking news or market season.

Yeah the price movement of Bitcoin is determined by those buying or selling . That's why is a community driven token , owned by know one but is for everyone . In Bitcoin there ain't no third party in it , thats why there's always Massive drop in price when folks are selling massively especially due to panicking cause by any external effect like war and stuff same goes for buying whenever there's good news most time in the market the buying volume is usually high .

the price is determined by supply and demand and we know that bitcoin's supply is fixed so we just have to look at the amount of demand or how much buyers are wanting to buy bitcoin at any given time
yes the market will basically freeze there will be no changes the price will not go up nor down but of course this will never happen as there are traders from different parts of the world

Price of Bitcoin is mainly set by supply and demand. There is limited number of Bitcoins and new ones are created at slower pace making it scarce. Demand for Bitcoin comes from many places people wanting to buy it and news and feelings about it and global economy and new technology and even how much it costs to mine. If everyone stopped buying or selling last reported price would stay same but market would not truly stop moving because buyers and sellers would still have different wishes for price and automated systems would still be active. So Bitcoin price is always changing based on all these forces working together.
