$10k is something a very big price when we think about most users expectations. Most users expect a price around $1500 to the max on halving. Now with recent increase continuing people have got some extra hope that price might touch $1500 but not at all $10k.
$1500 could be a price for early next year, or this time next year. $10,000 is the price for 3-5 years.
With the current rate of rise of the bitcoin price, it is possbile for the price to be $1500 in December.
