the thing here is that Bitcoin is like gold, and like gold it has to pass through fire to become what it is today, so Bitcoin is the fire purging the whole crypto space, at the moment i think no other currency in the world can shake the price, remember that alot of people are seeing what Bitcoin could be in the future... at the moment i think Bitcoin could only drop to maximum of 4500$ and head straight to 8000$
I also expect that to happen. Maybe a dip will happen after the fork to shake off the market before another trend will be formed. Consequently , I don't expect that new trend to keep seeing bitcoin diving downwards. This is because users have realised that bitcoin has a great capacity to come back to bullish over time and so many would still hold in there wallet to expect further growth. This will help bitcoin.
Right, bitcoin will be like that. It won't be beaten that easy by a new coin and we know that bitcoin has surpasses many things and have proven already how strong it is as the most popular and most in demand virtual currency. Many people are getting interested in bitcoin now and if ever the fork results to a big dump, I hope for bitcoin to recover immediately.
