PlanB, which originally released the price predictor in March 2019, released a message admitting that even he felt a little “uneasy” when the BTC price deviated from the model. However, the analyst pointed out that the model was previously successful again in March 2019 and March 2020 when the pandemic caused the global market to collapse, and it was successful again in September 2020.

Or will S2F fail? pic.twitter.com/iIjTC2Ncy3
