This is what I am afraid of. I had a great hope when the ETH hard fork hype was live, everyone in crypto was very excited to see a very high price for Ethereum, but that upgrade did not help at all, Ethereum lost its track and it seems price may collapse again like 2018.
There have been many hard forks that Ethereum went through, which one exactly are you referring to?
In short, it's great to get more features and code improvements forked in, but when the demand for the actual asset isn't increasing but decreasing, there isn't much that you can hope for. The most you can hope for is a buy the rumor sell the news type of event where people dump just before or just after the fork.
I seriously wonder how much of Ether's current price is held up by those having confidence in the POS transition. If this is in fact a driving factor for demand, which it very well could be (who doesn't like trustless interest and getting paid out in the native asset?), and the price is still tanking, the price would have been well under $100 if there wasn't that POS demand.
