Will Tether (USDT) trade below $0.95 at any time before 1 July 2022?

Yes/No Opened 19 May 2022 Closed 1 July 2022 Resolved 1 July 2022 178 forecasts 76 forecasters
This question will be resolved using the price of Tether on CoinMarketCap
Tether (USDT) is a cryptocurrency that is pegged to the US dollar. As a fiat-collateralized stablecoin, Tether uses the reserves it maintains to stabilize the price at $1 USD (Tether). 
TerraUSD, an algorithmic stablecoin also designed to maintain a 1:1 peg with the U.S. dollar, broke its peg on 9 May 2022 (Fortune). This resulted in a collapse in value of both Terra and Luna, a token on the Terra network that meant to absorb price shocks (CNBC). Bitcoin and Ethereum, the two largest cryptocurrencies have also plummeted in value, and the broader crypto market lost $200 billion in a single day (Reuters, CNBC). On 12 May 2022, Tether (USDT) dropped to $0.95 USD before recovering (Forbes).
