The price is rising because everyone wants to hold BTC for the BTC-Gold hard fork (is it on Oct. 26th?). Money is moving out of Alt-Coins and into BTC. There's also an upcoming Ethereum hard-fork so.... Interesting times we live in.

Things always settle back down. I think that in general, going forward, crypto markets will settle down a bit. However, volatility will remain high in this space for quite some time to come. As the new money becomes more widely adopted, it should help to make things slightly more steady. For now, there are good deals on Alt-Coins out there. Things like Lite-Coin, BitShares, even Steemit are basically "on sale."

I expect to see BTC continue to hit higher highs, and higher lows. If the next low remains above $3500, that's a very bullish sign. I don't expect to see anything else.
