Considering that we are around the low to mid $700's now, I could see the price hitting $1000 by the middle of next year. It really depends on bitcoin in the media and public perception.
But I have complete different yet optimistic speculation here, I do not think bitcoin need more time to reach $1000 levels, so it may test by middle of next month itself. Yes like many people predicted, bitcoin may test $1000 price levels before end of this year. New USA government, India's recent moves against black money and celebration times will support bitcoins to continue its up surge.
