Unproven; the information we have at present cannot determine this.
If they are reprinted in M15 or the next block, then they probably won't go much higher than this. With that said, there's not a whole lot of reason to believe that they will reprint the fetchlands outside of a Modern Masters 2 type of set - Wizards has stated that they are trying to keep the number of shuffle effects lower to facilitate smooth play, and casual folks don't really like the idea of paying life for their mana. Neither are definitive reasons why they absolutely will not be reprinted (shocklands being an counterexample to the second). We do know, however, that WotC considers a manabase of fetches and shocks in the same Standard environment is too powerful, so they definitely won't be in Theros block.
I think the short answer is: They're going to keep going up until reprinted.

Nope. They're going to continue rising in price until they get reprinted in either a standard set or modern masters 2. Main reason being that they're pretty much required to make modern mana bases as consistent as possible and there are quite a few legacy decks that make use of them as well. So as long as the modern/legacy playerbase continues growing(and we have no reason to believe that the number of players in either format is decreasing) then prices will keep trending upwards.
If you need them sometime in the immediate future(3-6 months or so) then just bite the bullet and pick them up now. If you can wait a while then I'd say wait till wizards reprints them(which may take a while).
They'll rise until they're reprinted. It could occur in the next Commander set, but they probably wouldn't want to put $50 cards into $30 casual products. They could be printed in M15 or in next year's block, but I wouldn't really expect that either. I'm assuming that they will be in Modern Masters 2, which will probably be out around 2 years from now. Assuming that MM2 has a bigger print run that MMA, the prices should fall somewhat then.
Looking at my two Misty Rainforests in the Simic deck I bring to work right now... I feel so lucky! Cracked them both at Zen PreRelease!

The fetches have become the must have card for all decks that aren't mono-colored. They are used in every format in which they are legal: Legacy, Vintage, Modern, EDH, etc...
Until they get a full reprint in a block set like the shocks, they are going to slowly continue to rise. Sadly, don't expect to see a reprint for about 5-6 years. oTC didn't realize how fast these would shoot up until recently, and sets are make about 4-5 in advance, so the soonest we'll see any emergency changes will still be about half a decade away.

In fact, fetchlands are often found in mono-colored blue and red decks due to Brainstorm and Grim Lavamancer.
They will most likely never go down in price unless they are reprinted in a Core Set or an advanced set. If they were reprinted in Money Masters 2 they would do them as mythic knowing their recent incompetence with rarities.
They will Continue to rise. I should have kept mine really. I was telling myself that I would never play anything but standard and limited, so I sold them.

That's right, I forgot about that. All of which makes the demand all the more greater. Yeesh. We desperately need a reprint...or, I suppose, a banning of all of them! Ha.
I really hope we get all 10 fetch lands reprints in the next block. I will buy so many play sets!
I don't think the fetch lands will ever get printed in a core set under the NWO of card design. Something about paying life for lands doesn't sell well to casuals or beginners.

The price for almost any card will increase until either 1) Magic declines in popularity -- unlikely to happen anytime soon, and in any case would take a while before it impacted prices, or 2) The card gets reprinted. (There are very few exceptions to this; for example, a staple being completely outclassed by a new, strictly better card. This happens rarely enough to be ignored.)
So, when will Zendikar fetchlands be reprinted? Well, they could get reprinted in MM2 next year, if there is a MM2 next year. However, it's more likely we won't have MM2 until 2014. However, if they announce MM2 8 months prior and they preview Misty Rainforest or something, prices could drop before the set even comes out.
On the other hand, there's a strong desire for Onslaught fetches in Modern, and WotC has now switched to printing full 10-dual-land cycles. Now, unless they decide to introduce new cards into Modern via MM2 (certainly possible, but not something they've indicated yet), and thus put Onslaught fetches in them, Onslaught fetches will have to be introduced via standard, along with Zendikar fetch reprints. And it would be unusual for them to reprint Zendikar fetches in MM2, and then immediately reprint them again along with Onslaught fetches in a core or expert set.
So, the most likely scenario would be reprinting of Zendikar fetches and Onslaught fetches either in M15 next fall, or Huey, Louie, and Dewey next fall.
The sad thing is if they do get reprinted in two years, by that time they may be around $75 and the reprinting will only lower them by so much placing them around the prices they are at now for the old ones.
A huge disappontment in the game if you didn't pick them up cheap. One of the travesties of magic I guess.
They'll be sold in Walmart as "Cash Grab #22343". They'll ask $20 for a box with 1 fetchland and 1 foil basic land. They'll make a fortune and every magic player will die a little inside.
Reprinting the ONS fetches seems more likely to happen within the next year or two, but that would also drive down the price of the ZEN fetches a bit.
I think they definitely go up during Modern PTQ season, but they won't double again like they did last time around. Probably will max out at $75 if not lower.
I have heard vague rumors of a moustache-dispensing vending machine in a distant laundromat, across the street from a tattoo parlor. However, this information is shaky, and time is of the essence.
Anyone have the gutt feeling that wizards is not going to re-print friendly fetches as means to divide legacy from modern? I expect enemy versions to be reprinted, but what if friendly versions are reprinted in commander or from the vaults?
If you want to buy any fetches then you better buy the non blue ones. You really want to buy one then buy a bloodstainded mire or any non blue zen fetch. The blue ones are 40-50$ They wont go down anytime soon.

They aren't going to reprint ONS fetches without ZEN fetches unless they do a special "Legacy Masters" set or something. Any new regular expert block or core set is going to have both fetches or none at all. There's a possibility they'll reprint ZEN fetches without ONS fetches in MM2 if they decide they don't want to introduce new cards into Modern via MM2.

WotC has already said that they want to print 10 card dual land cycles now since that's what players want, so the only way they'll never reprint ONS fetches for Modern is to never reprint ZEN fetches for Standard. (They could still reprint ZEN fetches in MM2.)

In all seriousness, they'll climb even higher in a few months when modern ptq season starts

Yup
No reason why they won't; it's not like EDH, Modern and Legacy are going to stop running multicolour decks
