Prediction evidence

1. Baseline: first BTC price at or after publication, $80,065 at 5 Sept 2026, 18:00 UTC.
2. Evaluation: price at the end of the 24 hours horizon, $79,741 at 6 Sept 2026, 18:00 UTC.
3. r = 79741.18 / 80064.71 − 1 = -0.4%
4. Direction d = −1 (bearish), so d × r = +0.4% (neutral only if the price is unchanged) → correct

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