I kind of agree with some of your points.

There has been quite some momentum behind Recent BTC rise and as you said we broke out of the upper channel. And it is end-of-the-year time, which may help to go even a little further.

Also the news around BTC are quite positive, lots of echo in the media and the announcement of BTC futures at Nasdaq might fuel us too.

But let's always be aware of the possibility of a big readjustment.
