I think in coming month March we will see the price surely reaching the 1300$ mark and by the end of this year 2017 we will see that the price has already crossed $1500 and maybe even $2000 as most people believe that.
I agree with your opinion . bitcoin is currently predicted to be approaching 1300USD. and at the end of the year could reach bitcoin price range 2500USD. something that a reasonable increase in price of a bitcoin. everyone even expect bitcoin has a much higher value.
What you are saying about the reason for this price bump in this year, there is no halving or chirstmas bubble on these recent months so most of them don't know about it. I think we are huge adoption in rate wise, when we see the comparison from 2014 to present. We need to wait and watch to see the prefect price of bitcoin in coming December.
