If price goes higher and remains stable then majority of normal users will be satisfied as they want to use it as an currency and not as an investment or to earn quick profits from trading.
Price won't go for a higher one if all people will use it as an currency. No such stable one since no profits will be made if price will become a stable one.
If you are expecting for a price increase next year at 2017, most people must use it for an investment as this is the reason why we have a price like this today.
