I don't see it pulling back, at least not in the short term. I think it's more likely it will rise steadily.
A correction will probably happen once it's well into the 3000's.
Absolutely. The hard fork is over and people won't be scared off from buying bitcoins anymore. There's nowhere to go but up from this point on.
I think still have some problem about BIP148 lock-in in August 10th, if the whales still want buying more Bitcoin before pump it again, they will find some reason make the trader scared and panic selling for them. So, waiting this time I think not bad with the situation in currently.
