According to a Reuters article, there is a new 22-year-old astrologer (and Bitcoin investor) from TikTok that can predict Bitcoin movements: Maren Altman.
Having exposure to a whopping one million followers on the social media app, the young woman warned her followers last week to watch out for a Bitcoin correction on Jan. 11.
A coincidence or not but, on the very same day, Bitcoin suddenly reversed, dropping 21 percent to below $31,000.
