At 2017 there are already huge speculation around bitcoin value, zcash, augur and megaupload projects, all should get live on those period, and the megaupload should bring massive new bitcoiners into bitcoin, soo the price should grow atleast a bit.
There is no doubt that price will go higher in coming months, bitcoin is gaining attention at a moment and more and more people are showing their interest in investing into bitcoins so it will help in taking price to higher level in future and that is the reason people are buying bitcoins at this moment.
