How high do you think it'll go before end of year? If Bitcoin keeps its average pace this year it'll hit $11,000 roughly on the last day of the year.
Not sure about the timing. I'm never one to make time predictions, especially with less than 2 months left in the year. Did you see that massive eiffel tower in BTCUSD after the news? Seems like there's a battle between traders who bought because of the 2x "dividend" (which was trading at 15% of BTC's value) and are now selling, and investors who are buying the dip.
I'm thinking the trend will continue upwards, but after today's volatility, I wouldn't be surprised to see more choppy action either. Looks like money is flowing back into altcoins, which is generally good for drying up BTC supply on the exchanges.
