happy price back $ 300, and this seems like the beginning of price increases, hopefully not drop again, I expect the price to reach $ 400 this year.
Indeed this would happen for sure I think after bitcoin fork the whole situation will get changed and price will start rising. Anything can happen in crypto universe this market has so big potential so that strong believers is making huge profit.
I think it depends..
There is possible scenario, that fork will cause a problems with bitcoin network(s) - some kind of miners wars, which will lead to general loss of confidence in cryptocurrency.
Except fork, for price impact will have supply growth, and it depends how algorithm changes will be implemented.. for now I can see that daily block rewards is constant:

And now diff/hashrate ratio is rather constant, too.
We will see if new ether from mining will be replaced with ether from staking or if we have less new ether daily at all..
For now we can see hashrate isn't growing which could mean there will be no major price fluctuations in near future
