Yes, BITCOIN will continue the up trend. i guest BTC will hit 13k $ then make correction in beginning 2018 and continues uptrend until hit 15k$. so if you want to hold, release at 13k-14k $. that is my guess.
Bitcoin will come back under 8k$ in the beginning 2018 because at this time , some Asia countries will cele Luna New Year as China, Japan, VietNam .... and a lot of bitcoins are saved by users of those countries so I think they will sell some in this event.
