another "bad" day yesterday where fares went up

Welcome to Flyertalk. Unfortunately, you're asking a strangers to speculate about something that is very unpredictable. We know that historically fares to Europe increase for travel in the summer months. But beyond that you have to factor in inflation, taxes, the pandemic, labor shortages, the number of flights on a particular route, demand, geo-global politics and a host of other factors. Even if I told you that no, I don't think they'll dip, I don't think you should listen to me...I am but a single anonymous opinion on the internet. (And I don't say that to be flip. Unless someone works in revenue management for an airline, is a travel agent with decades of experience booking that route, or is an economist who focuses on travel and the tourism sector, I personally wouldn't trust their answer.)
