Although I hope that Ethereum will start to grow after hardfork, nevertheless I do not think that it will reach $ 1000 in the near future!
Hardfork of course will give impetus to the growth of Ethereum, perhaps this is the first important step towards a return to the price of $ 1000, but we must understand that this process will not be fast
This process will depend on bitcoin. if bitcoin can growth a lot and then that will be so easy for ethereum to growth or even surpass its ATH again and with the support from POS transition and that will be even faster than before.
