The banning of ICO by China and the subsequent news really pull the price back when we are enjoying ATH. But since then, we have recovered but I guess $5000 will take us some time before we can achieve it once again. There is the November fork which can make bitcoin price rose and reach $5000. But I'm happy with the current price and thinking just a few weeks ago we are below $3000. But by the year ends, I'm really speculating that we can reach $5000 by that time and probably heading to $7000 at the beginning of next year.
Many are speculating the same as you, but I doubt it unless there will be more good news in the next coming weeks. At least for now I expect bitcoin price to stablize to it's current position as it is somehow rising slowly and not fast. Also, there aren't that much of a news to really drive price way up or down in a short amount of time, and for the reasons stated I concluded that it will be sitting at the current price for at least a week or two.
It seems to me that the price may rise. At bitcoin users have expectations that the price at the end of October will continue to grow as it was during the last fork. In addition, people expect that again, get free coins. All of this can lead to higher prices until October 25.
