i only consider the $1000 price level to be "the moon". and i don't think we will reach that price just because of the block halving. we will need much more than the halving to come even close to that price.
$1000 is still fuck all in the great scheme of things. If that's your moon then you need to zoom out, or in, can't decide. I don't think there's any danger of $1000 this year anyway.
$1000 could be a good price target to achieve in 12 months. The mass adoption of the coin can help the price.
There has been relatively little done to achieve mass adoption at the moment.
What most people want and talk about is quick ca$h: halving effect and speculation pumps. That is what drives the price of Bitcoin.
Therefore I don't exclude we eventually get to $1k on one of the pumps, but it will take huge efforts to accomplish that (see Mt.Gox's Wally).
I don't see that happening to celebrate this halving, nor in this year. 2016 should be considered positive if we get to $550-600, which would be already a lot taking into account how little has been done on the real development side of the story.
