I'm actually not surprised of current price, it is smack in the middle of my projected charts, and have been since I started following in august. I forecasted 7k to arrive end of Oct in a bet against two friends, if I lost I'd pay their loss in the investment they did off my word. I did loose, but they had of course no loss as BTC made profit to them instead.
My charts say we could reach between 11 and 13k by the end of 2017, recent public interest and major financial institutions coming in I think it will be reality.
