As what we see in the past 6 years. The price of bitcoin will increase this year and my estimate for the price will reach to 6,000 USD this November.And the reason behind is the booming of Lightning Network and the Lapps that base on LN.
I love the technology behind the lightning network in the bitcoin node through a lot of persons are against it because they see it as a way of centralizing the bitcoin blockchain which is against satoshi initial plan for bitcoin and crypto as a whole, but since we don't have a better method of solving the problem of scalability in the blockchain, then I think we have no choice than to accept lightning network until we can come up with something better to enable microtransactions on the blockchain and everyone making use of bitcoin can carry out transactions freely.
