Why you will not find a price prediction here

There is no method that reliably predicts the price of a cryptocurrency. It depends on regulation, on adoption, on interest rates, on the decisions of a handful of very large firms and on market sentiment — none of which follows from today's price. A figure twelve months out would not be analysis: it would be an invented number that looks like data.

What you can look at is right above, and it is verifiable: the all-time high and low with their dates, how far away each one is and the recent path. With that you decide for yourself, which is rather more than a figure with nothing behind it gives you.
