I guess XEMUSD at the turn of the year will land in few cents area (3 to 6 cents),
XEMBTC - in area 500-1500sat (with Bitcoin price somwhere in range of 4000-6000$ after climbing to 7000-8000 and massive correction). I can be wrong if NEM Foundation has some good news behind the belt, but i dont think so. Deep correction after big gains in case of XEM is repeating pattern for his trading pairs. In other words, when Bitcoin is still in bull mode, XEMUSD produce sideways moves with tendency to little fading (around 20cents). But after the end of this wave in case of BTCUSD, there should be deeper correction, and slaughter on the alts, especially on those dont have good fundamental news. I remember about SegWit2x of course, that case can cause Bitcoin's problems to sustain his upward move (now this move is fueled mainly by speculators collecting BTC to get Bitcoin2x). After SegWit2x fork we can see deep volatility in BTCUSD, and wild volatility (with deep flash crashes in price) for example in XEMUSD and XEMBTC. So the price of few cents and 1000sat or lower can be of course reached in one massive, shortlived dump, after that return even to 10cents+ area and than could be fading to few cents. So keeping some Fiat (JPY) on ZAIF and pending orders (3-7JPY) could be very profitable i think.
In Spring/late Spring of 2018 however i see the price of XEM @new ATH (1$ or higher) and Bitcoin around 10000$ or higher. So in the nearest future (let's say December 2017 and January 2018) is good time to accumulate XEMs for good returns further in the next year. The cheaper, the better.
3-6 cents? I don't think so:
-Catapult release this year
-first time in a Korean exchange next month
-it seems like bitflyer will add NEM to their exchange
-COMSA will start directly with some ICO's
-Japan is the biggest crypto market and NEM is very popular in Japan
If the whole market will crash we might see 15-10 cents.
For 3-6 cents we must be in a bubble right now and I don't think that we have a bubble.
