Splits rarely affect overall market conditions, unless its a well supported split and honestly i don't forsee that being the case for ethereum theirs just not that much demand to create a big hard fork issue, i get the feeling we'll be stable for the most part
for whatever reason whole market is moving up. And I believe this is a sign of bull run.
This is not definitive because as at the time of my writing, the market is experiencing dip. I think this trend (the up and down movement) will continue for a while but in all, crypto should do well this year.
