I was hoping for some bull run atleast by ethereum before this Hardfork but i think everything in the cryptoworld is so gloomy right now that even the good news are unable to make some positive impact.
I'm interested in what will happen with ETH in a year
All depends on Bitcoin. Bitcoin price will show us what will happen future. All coins affects from Bitcoin price deeply. So, you may look what trend is going on with BTC.
Not sure about all will depend on bitcoin but i should remind you about slowly ethereum will try to leave from the domination that created by bitcoin. It's not so deeply as you said. It's only a little bit higher than bitcoin but that's not the same as 2017.
