The price will be a major factor in the hash war so I think it'll be manipulated just like BTC was when BHC split off.
BTC was not manipulated. People were buying it because of the free BCH coins. There are no free coins here.
All time high of BTC was after the fork when BCH was threatening to flip it over. Sure looked like the price pumped to keep miners on BTC and prevent a death spiral.
