First of all i will say that performance out of the past not gives any garranty for the future.
This NEO prediction is long term. And I just want to emphasize that I don't think $ 700 NEO is possible this year. I put the pattern here purely because it is POSSIBLE. But that we will get a new ATH someday I am convinced with this great project. Maybe we will be surprised again what we will get for gains this year.
