I still remember how surprised I was when the price changed by exactly 0% the day the block reward halved. I really expected something, up or down, but you would have never been able to tell such a significant milestone Bitcoin's history had occurred from looking at the price history.

The price went up pretty significantly during the months preceding the halving. Since everyone knew it was coming, it was already priced in by the time it happened.

If it goes smoothly, the price will rise after everyone is comfortable withe event.  If it causes problems like last time there will be a dip.   Pretty much depends on how smoothly you think the fork will go to make a decision on whether or not to sell prior to the event.

the price did change, up until the block reward halved there was a huge price movement of approximately 100%.
