I doubt if that will come true consider about the last hardfork gives nothing to the price of ethereum. the blockhalving is schedule to happen next year but bitcoin doesn't evne show a good traction to answer the news about halving time. Ethereum may stand at this level too. we will see it as soon as possible.
I think so as well, many are thinking that altcoins are going to go up in value just because bitcoin has a high chance of doing that in the next year, but if you begin to analyze what happened during this year it is not difficult to see that even if altcoins recovered some of the value they have lost over the years bitcoin a coin that is several times larger than ethereum was able to grow way faster in average than most altcoins, so I do not see why this tendency should change when the interest in bitcoin during the next year is going to be many times higher than what it is right now.
