How will BIP148 affect the bitcoin price?

What do you think will happen just before the fork, directly after, and in the long term?

making a looping, going negative after. Shortly after that bitcoin will be renamed in bipcoin. Ok, look nobody knows. It it succeeds its bullish long term IMo, if it fails we are going to be rekt extreme. We must wait. Only the nodes and hasing power will know what will happen.

it depends on what is going to happen because of it!
if we see no support for it and it fails then nothing, we are back at square one and the same things.
if it gets some support and chain splits, there will be a big price fall on both sides and the total value will most probably take a big hit.
if it gets enough support and no chain split happens, we can finally get SegWit and it may finally put the idiotic fight over power to an end and price can rise big time after it.

probably a dip before august 1st due to uncertainty, markets dont like uncertainty. most likely a crash if a chain split occurs after august 1st. in the long term, price will depend on how many bitcoin chains result from all the forking proposals and how they are perceived.
