I believe bitcoin will follow the usual pattern of price movement.There will be a spike towards the end of the year,then a drop in price around the time the Asians will be selling off some bitcoins to cover the expense of their festivities around January or February
I strongly believe on bitcoin's capacity, that can surpass from its downfall and pump up at $20k or more over by the end of this year 2018. It is really hard to predict in this state ,while the market is fluctuating ,but it is feasible to happen because we are just in the midst of the year. And I trust bitcoin will transcend, will reach the highest value we desire and will be on top of cryptocurrencies.
