The highest it has gone during the past 3 years was around $20.000,
It's not 3 years yet, the ATH of BTC was achieved last Dec 2017 so after this year, it will a 2 years anniversary for that success.
We like to see a new ATH this year because that's very helpful for the entire market to recover, but we can't force people to invest to dictate the price to go up, we need some real good news that would consistently help bitcoin to rise again.
The highest we have this year was around $13K, so we only less than 100% increase from that price this year and knowing how hype bitcoin is, we can easily break to a new ATH if there's a FOMO going to happen this year.
