That's a real possibility. But I expect to hover the price around the actual level (560-590) for some more weeks. It has just turned again a little bit to the upside, but still without chances to break the sideways channel. It is well possible for the price to go up to $600 and then crash to $520 after a large whale dump, for example.
Another bearish indicator is that trading volume is low at the moment, but that may be influenced by the "Bitfinex shock" so I don't think it's a very relevant indicator at this time. People must regroup to another favourite exchange. We'll see if Bitstamp or another competitor like Kraken will be the winner of this situation.
I don't think there is a new 2016 high in the making, because the July high was highly driven by speculation on the halving event. So I would wait a bit until I buy. There should be cheaper opportunities in the next months.
