The ironic point could be that many view a higher price as the positive when the opposite can also be true in terms of the overall health and revenue of business done in BTC.
I think it's more a a "want" for investors to see at least the price hitting 6 digits next year.
And with all the predictions this year to hit $100k, everyone almost believed it will happen and for sure majority has been disappointment to see the price this December. Nevertheless, we still have hope next year that we will find a bull run to push the price again.
I agree that a rapid spike is not a healthy sign, but once this bull run takes off, we can't really tell it to stop. It will continue to grow until we hit a snag or the bubble being burst.
