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.
Hope it happens again, too, although there is no good explanation for it.
By considering the price increase of bitcoin in past two days,it is seems to be happen.Nearly 40 days are there for the new year.
So in 40 days,the price of bitcoin will reach 10k $+.I had inverse in bitcoin when the price was 7000$,I am waiting for some more price raise.
