But also the effects of the new covid-19 strain which really put a dent to all financial markets around the world. Maybe the critics of S2F modelling are now mocking it because we are far from it's prediction of 6 digits at the end of the year, maybe because it didn't take into account this kind of events (mt. Gox and then Omicron strain). But it is what is it, bitcoin is very volatile but it's good if we are going to end around $60k-$70k at least.
Nobody knew the unexpected events such as Omicron coming back in our lives as a new variant, while vastly making it impossible for everybody to go out and freely do what they want to do, and this will also let the markets fall once again after omicron gets detected all over the company.
With the arrival of Omicron, it will be expected that most of the economies will be down due to temporary closures of non essential big and small establishments. With this, countries will be unproductive again. And crypto market is not an exception either. I think the present correction will last until Omicron will set in. But as expected, crypto will definitely recover and bitcoin will continue to reach its new heights again. And we will be expecting again that before 2021 ends, we will finally see a bull run before the crypto changes its cycle for another bear season and maybe it will happen early next year.
