What will happen to Bitcoin's price before and after the October fork?

[megynacuna]

I think the bitcoin and ethereum prices will rise before each has their hardforks, no one wants to miss out on the "free money" aka dumpcoins again.  In November after all these fork attempts pass we should see a huge increase in market cap. 

There is going to be an increase in the market cap for Bitcoin after the hard fork, but now it is very difficult to predict how much that is going to be. We must also consider the fact that the exchange rates have gone up by more than 25% during the past few days. So the future increase may not be as high as we are expecting. But even then, I would say that there is a remote chance of the exchange rates crossing the $10K mark.

Exactly, if we get a faster confirmation after the fork as a result of the increase in block size plus a reduction in transaction fees then i bet bitcoin will increase astronomically in value after the october fork.

No one knows exactly but you can check the past bitcoin price charts before & after the 2017 August fork to have some idea, but still this is not a measure for the upcoming October fork's price fluctuations.

if we looks the prices of bitcoin for a month ago, the prices is stable enough. maybe after the fork, the prices of bitcoin will be increase like before.. so difficult to predict what will happen in the future, I hope the fork not influence a lot to bitcoin..

same thing will happen to bitcoin like what happen on fork last august. The price will continue no matter what happen to the upcoming fork. You can check the history of bitcoin, the dump of bitcoin in market price history is just a temporary. The bitcoin price will continue to increase as the days goes by! Incoming 7000 $ for sure!

So the hardfork won't be as terrible as Bitcoin Cash.

Bitcoin Cash didn't do well after it was introduced last August, holders kept it for a few days, when exchangers allowed Selling, price wen't down so it looks like people wants BTG because for them its free money. I don't see anything special about Bitcoin Gold but again, just like when Ethereum was first introduced, who knows that Ethereum will make it big.

Well this is not a tough question,everyone knows that bitcoin price is increasing enormously day by day. So it is best to say that will be increasing before October and will be even more after October. According to the recent fluctuation in it's price it is safe to say that during October it will reach $6000 and after October it be reaching up to GOD knows what value.

I think there will be a slight drop in the price of Bitcoin this coming fork but it will recover soon after the fork and before year end it will surpass the $8000 mark. Btw, have you read this, Prominent Bitcoin Trader: Price is Heading Towards $100,000 in 2018

i think bitcoin prices will increase again because some issue about fork so people buying bitcoins for get some profit from fork.
after fork maybe they will sell bitcoin and buy altcoin again for long term.

I think btc will hit $7000 before the fork and it will drop to $5800 after the fork.
