At least Goldman Sachs has predicted that after $ 4,800 we could expect a collapse at any time. Merrill Lynch predicted a price of $ 1,300 as the maximum top for bitcoin four years ago.
Therefore, as long as these rascals continue to predict collapses with such "accuracy", we can rest assured that bitcoin will continue to grow despite the bold efforts of these looters to cause fear and new crisis as they have done before.
I don't think it's possible to accurately predict the price of bitcoin and how it will change; bitcoin is, and will always will be, an experiment. It's a rather special sort of asset unlike any other, and I think we've yet to get a firm grasp on what makes it valuable.
I think 5,000 because everyone is talking about 5k limit for more than a month, and expected to reach at the end of the year
When reaches 5k, IMO people will sell some part to have some money to buy on the dip or to protect the money (fiat)
Dunno why people would think that; not saying they're wrong, but I can't see any evidence leading to the fact that the ceiling before the crash would be around the 5k mark. There's also no reason to think people will suddenly dump at 5k either, that's pure speculation.
