Prediction evidence

1. Baseline: first BTC price at or after publication, $72,660 at 20 Aug 2026, 21:00 UTC.
2. Evaluation: price at the end of the 24 hours horizon, $77,498 at 21 Aug 2026, 21:00 UTC.
3. r = 77497.98 / 72660.23 − 1 = +6.66%
4. Direction d = +1 (bullish), so d × r = +6.66% against a neutral band of ±1.00% → correct

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