Price is recovering nicely now that it seems clear that segwit is going in and the hardforks are getting rejected. As long as we continue this path and nothing changes, the price should keep going higher with no stopping. How many years until we hit an ATH? Last time it was $2980 on Bitstamp, $2889.5 Bitfinex $3003 , it would be cool to get past $3000 on all of the exchanges this time.
Completely agreed. When segwit gets locked in later this month it will just mean that the price will only go even higher. I think that when this does happen, $3000 is just an arbitrary number. Price can definitely go even higher than that without any problems at all.
Right now when bitcoin cash goes down, bitcoin seems to go up still. But i believe that this correlation will soon be ending as bitcoin cash becomes more known as an altcoin than a legitimate fork of bitcoin.
If i was to give an estimate of when $3000 will be achieved, i'd say it'll probably be anywhere between december this year and march next year.
