I predict $1000 US tonight, like in the next 7 hours.
i think the price will not be $1000 US but lets hope it will be happen tonight. i see on the chart in poloniex market, the line is going to be stagnan or maybe it will get down in a moment before its break another price and increase high.
Honestly we are now nearly touch according to movement of bitfinex price hits $999 and i think few more hours or days that we can touch in $1k vlaue soon and i hope that it can stay long in that value so that the price can be stay at that price and i think more people and company are using bitcoin that is why we are seeing the price was increased..
It is already $1,000 on kraken see this reference :
It reached $1,000 on Kraken a few mins ago!! Happy new year Bitcolleagues!!

Those people who predicted that the price will be able to make it that the price will reach for next year(2017) from last year's prediction, it is now happening. For sure those lowly rate exchange will follow next.
