Keep or sell ethereum before the merge?

Crypto always likes to surprise. It seems to me that in any sensible thought, a merge would raise ethereum. But again, the opposite happened and left people confused. There are always things that we don't expect.

I think after eth marge eth price can reach too much. but sometime it make me confused. it can make a negative  effect.  so i think it will not a good decision to hold full amount of ethereum. we should sell 50-60% and hold the rest amount. then it will not worried us if eth price fail after marge. but if eth price reach after marge then we can also get profit for our rest amount  holding

The merger has been completed no major changes have occurred in the price. Better to hold on to it now, ethereum still has good potential for the future and now they are using POS it feels better than ever even gas costs have started to drop this proves that ethereum cares enough about its community.

I don't think gas cost has something to do with the merge. Even before the event, gas fee were already cheap since eth network is not congested anymore. Also the hype of NFTs was gone which is a big contributing factor why gas fee reached to more than 100$ last year.

If it was me, I would sell half of my ETH assets now because there is a high chance that bitcoin will drop more in the coming months which will cause other altcoins to also decline.

It's about being ready, maybe it's not that high anymore, but now we know hopefully it won't be high ever. There is no guarantee of course, if there is a congestion again and there is a more than expected attention towards it and the demand goes through the roof, then maybe we will have expensive gas fee again, but at least we know for bare minimum that we are doing better than we did, and that's a good thing. That's why it should be higher in price right now as well because it allows people to use it cheaper.

But, do you know why it won't be? Because people spend a lot on ETH gas fee, and that meant buying more ETH to spend on gas fee, and now they won't have to.

At least make anticipation for everything, even though in your mind it will be in your favor, on the other hand we also think about the unexpected, because we are still in a bear market that possibility could be detrimental to us, at least take a quick decision because it is the risk we will accept if we go wrong..

And the unexpected has came, majority had thought that it will be a pump for Ethereum after the merge.
But look at what it is right now, there's no pump and it's even likely going to fall more due to the market's situation and that's why don't expect at most times for positive things in the market because you don't know what's in it to come.

I think the price of Ethereum will break 2k when the merge happens.  So if selling your Ethereum is on your mind just wait until maybe a few days have passed after September 15.
But just know other people will behaving the same strategy as you so you must be quick or considering setting a sales point on a exchange or what you use to do your trading.

The price is expected to drop to extreme levels after the update and even a little before it. This will continue for an unknown period of time until all nodes are up to date.
Price is always related to supply and demand, and demand is expected to decrease as the mining algorithm changes.
Currently, without the merge, the price of Ethereum is not commensurate with its real value due to the problems that is supposed to be overcome after the update. The price is supposed to recover before the end of the current year.

Well, it looks like you were right about the Merge and I was wrong. The price of 1 Ethereum is less than 1300 which is much lesser then it was before the Merge.

What happens to the price after the halving is very similar to what happened with Bitcoin after the last two halving, where the price suddenly fell in a corrective movement that precedes the halving by a short period and continues after it for a short period as well, so that the price returns to the rise with the end of the update as an event. This also happened with the Bitcoin Segwit update and the Ethereum update from Ethereum Classic in the breakup update.

The merge process has been completed and successful, but the market is still red and of course this will not have a direct impact, the merge process is a different thing so that it will not directly affect the market, but this will be the beginning of the revival of ETH to be better than before

It’s because the market is still in bear season especially the BTC, that even there are new updates in altcoins it still not vives impact in the market unless BTC is also in hype. It needs more driving force that will lead to market pump even there is merge but no orher news that can create hype will no big deal as the economy is still crisis, recession and inflation is also happening in many countries.

Keep or sell ethereum before the merge?

I've made some researches and found plenty of rumors saying that ethereum will dump after the merge and why's that? (short term)

Right brother after merging Ethereum price dumped. But the whole market condition is not good that's why Ethereum price also dump and wait for a few months when market situation is good then see price of Ethereum

We will see later when the market is bullish because as you said the market is still bearish so far,
we have to be patient to see Ethereum rise,
What is clear is that the merger will have a positive impact later

At least OP got free coin if he was still holding his ethereum during the fork. The only problem is due to the bearish market and the price of his coin might be fallen as well. My main concern when seeing the price of ethereum dropping from above 1500 to the around 1300 in a short time.
I know that his fork coin may not even worth compared with his lose. That's it

Not sure if he had sold actually. He is trading in the wrong pair as in his recent post, he is trading in ETH/BTC. Quite rare.

But the price surged before the merge though. There are always 2 ways how to react to what goes on with the price right now, either sell because you think the price is going to sink deeper or buy more because it's time to invest.

There are many opinions with regard to how they will react with the merged that take place.

But long-term wise ETH is always a good project to store and if you have spare money instead of selling, it is okay to buy
and add more into your hold assets. The temporary market movements are just another regular thing that happens around the
market and the long-term event when bull start to rise back will be profitable still.
