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.
We're on early December now and looks like the price has settled down at $760 but keep fluctuate due to people who sell their coins if the price has a little increases, I don't see the point of it (little profits or instant profits I guess). Why we don't wait and be patient for bitcoin price continue to increasing and see what the result by the end of the year, but I don't think the price will reach $1000 instead of around $800.
