Normally there's a fat drop after a fork. However, being a little optimistic has never hurt anybody.
There is still was not fork. They delayed again Constantinople fork, because of some mistakes in code and at this time form delayes for unknown time.
Bakkt also delayed tillthis summer probably . So may be Ethereum team just want to launch fork together with Bakkt launch, because 1st delayed was after Bakkt announced delay from December to january too...
