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.
i think it can reach until 7000$ just before the hardfork begins, because many people are still buying and holding bitcoins because of free fork coins which is bitcoingold and i believe that bitcoins value will somehow decrease after the fork has done because most of them are going to dump and sell thier coins. although bitcoin can still posibly recover after this cycle and will probably start to reach his next ath.
