With the recent Bitfinex listing its overdue for an pump. Next exchange will be announced early next week. Qtum satellite will be launched within 2017 and many more awesome news.
I believe the only reason for QTUM not to breakout already is due to the needed recovery of the china desaster - the bad marketing regarding previous exchange listings and the recent upcoming BTC Hardfork and ETH Metropolis Hardfork is in front of the door already.
as soon as those 2 bigs are finished with the forking - people will switch back to alts.
As always this are just my 2 cents - its not guaranteed it will come like i say - but my aspergers often told me i was right ^^ - so lets hope its the same this time again
