Be very careful and do not take everything she says to heart. In the article it said, It was “due to popular demand” that Jafari began covering bitcoin a month ago.

If she only began with bitcoin a month ago then why should we follow here and listen to what she says. She has limited bitcoin experience and might not be qualified to make a comment.

While we would love to see it reach 4000 dollars, we should not make trading decisions because of her statement.

I consider this a positive news for bitcoin market, because credibility of Goldman Sach's is on the line here. I hope this announcement can sway more investors to bitcoin. I guess we need to have to wait and see. And hope this guy is correct in his prediction. Grin

It's nothing more than a reflection of what that person thinks Bitcoin will do -- there is no point into making it look like it's a big deal, because it definitely isn't. That being said, there is nothing that points at a specific date he expects this to happen, so I just assume he targets this year. I also don't see him mention anything about the possible positive/negative impact that we might go through in the coming month or two....

Well for me the price could really be hit in the future. It will be just a matter of when it will be touch. I consider this a positive news for bitcoin market, because credibility of Goldman Sach's is on the line here. I hope this announcement can sway more investors to bitcoin. I guess we need to have to wait and see. And hope this guy is correct in his prediction. Grin

Although bitcoin price has grown 3x at peak levels this year, better gains are yet to come, according to Goldman Sachs’ chief technician.

Bitcoin has been on a historic tear in 2017. After ringing in the year at $1,000 on the very first day of January, bitcoin price reached an all-time high of $3,000 in mid-June. The remarkable rise amid an overall boom period for cryptocurrencies has seen skepticism from some observers who have pointed to inflated values amid accusations of a bubble. Others are looking at more bullish gains.

In a note sent to clients, Sheba Jafari – Goldman Sachs’ head of technical strategy predicts bitcoin to climb higher, ultimately getting near $4,000.

Jafari, who was persuaded into covering bitcoin by Goldman Sachs’ clients recently, sees the current corrective course to tread longer with upward gains to be the ultimate outcome.

Jafari, who is also the vice president of the investment bank’s securities division, sees bitcoin “still in a corrective 4th wave”, as reported by the Business Insider.

That fourth wave “shouldn’t go much further (lower) than $1,857”, the head analyst told her Wall Street clients.

The upcoming 5th wave is to take a bullish turn, according to her analysis.

She wrote:

    "From current levels, this has been a minimum target that goes out to $3,212. There’s potential to extend as far as $3,915. It just might take time to get there."

It was “due to popular demand” that Jafari began covering bitcoin a month ago. The first analysis, in comparison, was a more bearish take based on price trends at the time.

As things stand, bitcoin is up 5.28% on the day, according to data from CoinmarketCap. The cryptocurrency is trading at $2573 on a global average and struck a high of $2,601 on Monday, a 7-day high following the downward turn a week ago.

On Bitstamp, bitcoin hit a high of $2,595 on Monday.
