"Vitalik Buterin, ethereum’s inventor, has suggested an increase in rewards for stakers from circa 2.5% to nearly 6% assuming 10 million eth is staked. Buterin said:
“An issuance increase is proposed based on community feedback, to 2**21 ETH if 2**27 ETH is validating, along with an agreement to set the base reward quotient based on a pre-set max issuance bound once all protocol details are finalized.”"

6%? Well, that will pull a lot of ETH away from circulation and in the markets. I think it will cause a price bump because you see PoW coins extract value from the cost of the hardware resources and computing power, while PoS forces large stakers to hodl their ETH. PoS is good if the adoption rate is consistent.
Yes, you are right we have already seen the POS machine from the other different coins which already have very good potential about their holding. So the majority of the people will start holding the coin in the market will help ETH coin to increase its price even to a higher value.
