Do you think we can go beyond 7k before hardfork? 
It probably won't, now that it is tied up at the value of 6000. It is becoming hard for its value to increase and maybe it is an effect of the incoming segwit2x next month. But 7k would probably achieved before this year end, maybe after the hardfork the same with what happened on the recent fork.I think we have gotten our answers already. Bitcoin will not reach $7K before this Oct. 25 fork. The tops that we can get is $6K only. Although it reaches around $61xx earlier, some investors cash out because its now the psychological barrier. But we don't need to be disappointed if we didn't reach $7K, the price is still strong so we should all be thankful to those who stick and didn't sell their coins during its high.
