The uncertainty and general possible mayhem of the fork was the only thing standing in the way of $10,000 BTC by end of 2017. Now with the fork removed I think we are guaranteed to hit it in December.
How high do you think it'll go before end of year? If Bitcoin keeps its average pace this year it'll hit $11,000 roughly on the last day of the year.
Although the uncertainty of the fork certainly would have a negative effect on the price the overall fork was having a positive effect. It was a potential solution to bitcoins issues as well as attracting investors because of the potential 'free' coins they could receive.
