Bitcoin's volatility has been steadily decreasing over time, which means huge price movements upwards are less likely than ever. Sorry it's not going to happen. I think 5000-6000 range is the correct or fair price, so selling at the higher end of this range would bring profit at least and then I think alt coins start making more sense at that point
It can't pass or even reach the value of 7000$ at this moment because the hardfork is approaching. Backdrops are taking place often, and it may be becauae of the segwit2x. But I'm not saying that it won't be able, maybe it will make its way to 7000 AFTER the fork especially if it will succeed because just like the recent one, the value will surely increase.
Why not? How sure you are that this bitcoin never pass $7000? Surviving such fork attack with majority hashing power miners and some of the most influential businessman indescribably bullish. Even if the price could dump, bitcoin surviving this would strongly dissuade others from trying it going forward as well as minimized the FUD that would be associated with any future attempts.
