It could also mean that part of the recent price drop might have been people deciding to get out of bitcoin.

Also, maybe, some folks are sitting tight on their wallets in case there is a fork. No one wants to miss out on double coins.

Count me out of that hunt:
"Double coins" == Both types worth almost nothing compared to the recent highs.

funny thing is, both sides believe that if their coin wins, there will be a price boom.

core folks: finally the BU debacle will be over, we can get back to bitcoin, confidence will soar, BU will become a forgotten alt
BU folks: finally bitcoin can scale again, confidence will soar. good riddance to core/blockstream.

Oh I disagree. There is going to be a looooooooooooong bear market if we have a contentious hard fork. I have a feeling there will be some long term "games" played and the winner won't be known for several years. After that, recovering trust will be another long road.

If anything, this entire debacle shows how mining pools are extremely unhealthy for the network and it's unfortunate a method to promote solo mining hasn't been invented (maybe it's impossible?).
