The coin may reach as high as 150 USD by the end of 2019. The 2020 prediction should go 250 USD.

Conclusion-

We advise the short term investors to wait for the coin to touch 70 USD level, then it will make a good buying position. Medium-term holders and long term holders will be benefitted by moving with little patience.
