Basically even when people called that USDT was stable token but they don't remember if that's still a token which was peg with the liquidity and trust from the market. The chart was happening during the panic sell that happened with crypto market. The liquidity from the market was always become the most important thing to keep the peg of token even when this token claimed to be fully backed by dollar or fiat money.
Sometimes when so many people that owned USDT were dumping their USDT at the same time. This will be drained the liquidity and that makes the price will be below 1 dollar.

Agree with you, see the movement of people who panic with what they have to incur huge losses. There are some people who can't avoid the panic that builds up inside of them. So you should continue to see the latest charts about the coins you currently have. But I've also been at a loss for the past few months.

The only reason is that USDT is back up by nothing, or just running on fractional reserves that's why they can't cope with with the 1:1 pegged.

And that's why as explained by @Sterbens, other stable coins keep it that way because they are actually back up by reserve assets, like bonds and then they have a good company behind who is willing to help in case something went wrong. But in the Luna case it was not that's why it de pegged and then didn't recover on time.

USDT is a replica of USD in crypto. USDT is crypto, so price changes are very likely. Supposedly on exchanges, USDT exchange pairs are not traded with USD. If this is done, then USDT is not the same as USD, because it is not possible to exchange for the same value.
Not only USDT, many other cryptos with stable value based on Fiat are not equivalent to the Fiat value of a country.

In general, I think when I see a falling Luna, USDT should drop and come back only around 0.9, which is different from USDC. Here we can see that the USDT claim is not completely 1:1 with the Dollar. Ifinex Inc company which owns Bitfinex Exchange as a company from Hong Kong Cash Only 3 - 5% in US Dollar backup and the rest is United States government bonds and private government bonds.

In fact, we see that the strength of the 1:1 value is actually demonstrated by USDC with Circle holdings joining Coinbase, namely 100% Cash and US government short-term bonds. What's interesting is whenever it can be redeemed. In my opinion, USDC's resistance is much better than USDT which is currently showing weakness. Plus the biggest companies like BlackRock and Fidelity also invest in USDC.

If we look at the chart of USDT/USD, we will find that the price has always been above one dollar (1.0002~1.0007) or equal to one dollar, but since what happened a month ago and we are still slightly less than one dollar, does anyone know the reason?
