We are just starting the year and there are a lot of possibilities ahead. I believe 17k is a possibility and it is not like a huge one considering where we were coming from anyway. We still have some resistances ahead of us, so one should still keep all those in mind but I believe in the possibility of seeing this value or probably a little more even before the end of 2018, but I guess time will end up proving us wrong or right since that is all we have.

17k sounds very reasonable. Bitcoin has shown sign of strength and of course we have broken some resistance already which will make the remaining upcoming ones to break if we keep go testing them. However, I am sure that there is a huge possibility to see this happen, so the predictions that anyone gives, should not be far from reality. 2018 is still very young, so a lot is possible.
