The latest rumour going around about the Ethereum merge is a dump after, you are wrong if you are one of them, Ethereum going proof of stake and fixing the high gas fee have automatically turn this project into a GOLD, every whales will want to stake and enjoy the rewards, even if a dump happens after the so called fork it won't last.
Although ethereuem has successfully transitioned to PoS, unfortunately they have not been able to overcome the high transaction costs and the merger did not have a positive impact on ETH price movements because it did not work as expected by its users where many hoped that the merger would reduce transaction costs to a lower level but not so, so that currently we see the price of ETH continues to decline and there is no sign of a significant increase in this short time.
