As discussed in this forum last year, post Covid prices will see-saw up and down. Each carrier will be seeking the usual balance of maximum revenue without scaring off the punters. Each carrier will have tweaked their Yeild Management systems and will continue to do so. I expect to see very low and very high prices simultaneously for many months to come.
I have just paid more than I wanted to for a particular round trip next January because neither of the carriers were offering Points discounts/upgrades or 2-4-1/companion - as they do not need to! Demand is very high and my partner is really looking for that break. I have not told her how much extra I paid. But, a year later, those prices might be very low when the first glut of holidays is over. Further, by 2023, interest rates will be rising and that will change everything - again. In other words, Situation Normal.
