Price predictions seem to be pure speculation, but the general trend should be increasing.
Too much negative press lately so, in order for it to go up largely, there will need to be a series of positive news.
I do agree that prediction is pure speculation with added technical analysis. Though comparing to the speculation alone, prediction has a better chance of happening since there are factors and reference history where the prediction is based. With regards to what I am expecting, I believe bitcoin will start to have a bullish phase soon.
