Prediction evidence

1. Baseline: first BTC price at or after publication, $64,290 at 19 Aug 2026, 07:00 UTC.
2. Evaluation: price at the end of the 24 hours horizon, $69,814 at 20 Aug 2026, 07:00 UTC.
3. r = 69813.99 / 64289.83 − 1 = +8.59%
4. Direction d = −1 (bearish), so d × r = -8.59% against a neutral band of ±1.00% → incorrect

Only the end-of-horizon price counts. A brief move followed by a reversal is not a success. Read the methodology
