Once staking starts, I am expecting more and more ethereum will get reduced from market which in turn will increase in price

Is there any firm date for ETH to move over to Proof of stake. Will it be a total transfer or gradual, mixed mining. I know some coins mix both, OFW is one I can think of though thats very unknown apparently it can be the case that both methods are used long term.

Im not sure if ETH definitely will goto POS or its just a backup plan left on the shelf and likely wont occur

Still, there is no official announcements from the authorities only people are talking about the POS model. We need to wait for official announcement instead of spreading the news. I hope it is a best plan if they implement ETH in POS model.

No, the Ethereum Foundation have already made plain their intentions to transition the consensus model to PoS. No need to "wait for official announcement instead of spreading news". This has been known for many many months now.

What we are still waiting on, is an announcement with expected date on mainnet. And that will likely be next year. You can see the dev call meeting minutes here: https://github.com/ethereum/pm/tree/master/All%20Core%20Devs%20Meetings

This is also an update about how POS casper will work http://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1011
This guy dannyryan in cooperation with ethereum core developer to develop casper POS. https://twitter.com/dannyryan
Remember when vitalik created such a voting to watch the interest of POS casper in the ethereum community and the majority of them said yes for POS transition and hardcap supply.
