As it was not an attack on BTC (any BCH pump seems very suspicious for me) that can be concidered as a some kind of correction after a pretty big growth. I'm sure that it is pretty good and it will help from  the psychological side: a lot of people are waiting for the end of this year to see the final BTC rate and they can easily  dump it especially if it is uncorrected. If bitcoin will continue its slow growth it will just make the situation more calm.
