I don't really have any expectations; there are so many variables to consider.

My guess, however, is that the price will be more stable, given that the effect of any bad news won't be so amplified by the minting of new coins. Currently, the supply of coins is growing rapidly (just over 30% per annum). After the block reward halves, that rate will be below 13% per annum.

As others have mentioned, I'm also curious to see how the halve will affect the network's hashing rate (and therefore, security).
