An early rush going over 10k by autumn this year, lots of froth and fomo starting and then a pull back before EOY, just as the 'here we go' was kicking in.
Then two runs makes sense, too
A fake run that fizzles before 'Moon' and baffles everyone. Then a 'real run' becomes possible (and organic) after a few month's breather. I can see that as a very plausible scenario.
Yes that would scare the pants off everyone, which is something Bitcoin delights in doing. It becomes a real risk if we break up to $6k from here. I would much rather a slow gentle climb - I don't want to see $6k right now.
