    End of the year? 4500 for me.
  • Should see at least one retrace , but overall staying around the 4800-5200k range end of year , then another dip in january/feb to work from for next year.

    Given that we seen 30 - 40 percent drops in previous year then 30-40 percent rises (that are much lower than the drop) might sound like overcooking but it isnt.
    Have you tried turning it off and on again?

    Over the next few months -

    I'll be a seller at around 5100-5200 and a buyer at around 4500-4600. It doesn't matter which occurs first.

    This exercise would be a better measure of 'crowd wisdom' if posters couldn't see other posters estimates; then you wouldn't have majority influence skewing results.

    But meh, this isn't meant to be scientific. I'll give 5,352 as my wild guess.
