For the growth, if we stay in the 9$-10$ zone for a while, we may say it was a mid-term growth... If it goes on increasing too fast (e.g. 25$ in 1 week), then I'll be a bit more cautious. This said, I think that a 25$ value would be viable by early February.

Just my 2 sumoshis, though, as cryptocurrencies are hardly "secure" and "stable" assets.
