After August 1 IF the hard fork will be approved and initiated there BTC will split and the price going down will likely to happen but it wont be long because updated and faster system will be use and such will result to an going up trend better system more user. If there wont be it will be same as is and as the trade market shows today BTC will likely bounce back and recover because all the panic sellers wont have the reason to panic sell again which will give the BULL or BUYERS an upper hand . So for me Both split and non split will still cause a higher price to btc as it is now.
