I think that the pure hype amongsts the investors right now is enough to push price over $10k for sure. Even if it is the peak of the bubble i do agree with the analysts that say that BTC will go to $10k or even $15k at the end of the year/start of the next.

Last year we saw a great surge in pricing of bitcoin near the Christmas/New year area.

I would not be surprised if we see another surge in price this year, at the same time.
