What's the next big announcement you think might make BTC value rise ?

We do not need any big announcements for bitcoin price raise. By it's nature it will double every four years. If we spread the bitcoin to every people then the price would hit the sky then moon. But, when we spread bitcoin, some new services would arrive that service announcement would be a big boost for bitcoin price like this OP said....

We need the big announcements as the trigger for bitcoin market activity. Yeah spreading bitcoin to people is a good way to make the price be higher, but it will be useless if those people dont want bitcoin in the end. We cant depend on just that way to increase bitcoin price.

It won't increase in price every 4 years (halving) without any positive incentives for the future. That is a big mistake to believe like this imo.
We need to progress the network and announcements with solid arguments, incentives to the people outside of the Bitcoin ecosystem why they should choose to use Bitcoin.Lots of work and solving issues have to be done for that.
Without bees no honey. And without honey no incentives for the consumers.

Alibaba accepting btc payment will lift the price.

But Jack Ma, owner of Alibaba, is having his own payment service named Alipay. I doubt that he will implement or agree to another service than that. MAybe he will start his own Alicoin or whatever.

huge companies as amazon and alibaba will do the price good for sure. but for that you'll need to have larger than 1mb blocks as these two companies will fill blocks that fast. at this point it's nothing more than a big fantasy.

I can see quite a few announcements and yet the price has not been going positive this last few months.

To those who think the price will rise, are you expecting something to happen in the near future and if so what do you think will move the price up?

The things that can move up the price of bitcoin can be thousands but unimaginable. So no one can tell one or some of those. But that I expect in order that the price of bitcoin go higher is the spread as much as it is possible of the known of bitcoin. Bitcoin must be known and possibly used by as more people as it was possible. Only in this way will be bigger the number of those which will want to own some of those, only in this way will increased the demand for bitcoin and only in this way it is for sure that will be increased even the price of bitcoin. A solid increase which will not be a bubble like the bubble of MtGox.
