Since the low in January 2015, the price of Bitcoin has been increasing at a very consistent rate of about 6% per month. As shown on the graph below, the price should hit $1000 in June 2017 (+/- 2 months or so) if it continues at this pace.
Such growth probably attract more and more new investors which is good for BTC,but with such price ups and downs it is difficult to predict what will happen in about half a year or more.Usually the biggest changes happen at this time of year and then things settle down.
With the halving effect,SegWit,Lightning Network and other positive news, maybe this increase will continue so this prediction becomes a reality.
