Right now with all this fork talk I wouldn't risk getting in. The price has gone from 240 territory to 230 lows. We'll see to what extent does all of this have a true impact on the price. I would say we are going to be on a low price until all of that gets settled and we can talk Bitcoin has something solid that may not get jeopardized by block size limit every X years (we cant be forking periodically).
Actually the price and the fork talk will have nothing to do with "trading". All trader need is a right time to execute a buy and sell and a margin where there got some profit from the buy and sell difference. Thus being said, Even if the price drop down by 50 %, as long as there are a margin , trader can execute their trading activity and gain profit from it although it will be slightly lower than usual though
