We are going to see a big surge in price and it will happen in a course of days, remember that last time we went from 600 to 1000 it took less than 15 days, so once it starts pumping and we get in the 800 territory, panic buy will kick in, 800 and 900 will go out quick and we will be sitting at 1000+, some people will panic sell at 1000+, it will correct a little, less than people think, then the people that missed the boat will jump in as soon as it goes below 1000, pushing the price to the next ATH.
you are forgetting at least 10 other factors here which doesn't let bitcoin price go up fast in a pump but instead go up slowly like it has been the last year or so.
the most important one is the absence of mtgox and willybot which was the reason for the last pump and also the fact that mtgox was the biggest exchange with more than (i think) 70-80% of the volume.
the other factor is that people are trading bitcoin and they are expecting rises to dump and buy back at the dip and that always slows rises down.
