Bitcoin will most likely reach $1500 this year. It's holding strong over $1200 right now and even with a drop, it could easily recover and reach $1500 over the next 8 months.
to me i think it is even going to cross 1500 USD level this year and may be reach to 2000 USD level. as we can see that in previous time the price of bitcoin already reached to almost 13 USD level so, i do not think that it is so difficult to cross 1500 USD level in next month or two and after that we can expect that the price of bitcoin will easily reach to 2000 USD level.
i agree with you bitcoin will be quickly rise its price to 1500$ in this year because people adopt the bitcoin in huge amount for the future and everyone know that bitcoin will be go to more high.
