Prediction evidence

1. Baseline: first BTC price at or after publication, $82,186 at 16 Oct 2026, 08:00 UTC.
2. Evaluation: price at the end of the 24 hours horizon, $81,621 at 17 Oct 2026, 08:00 UTC.
3. r = 81620.51 / 82186.2 − 1 = -0.69%
4. Direction d = +1 (bullish), so d × r = -0.69% against a neutral band of ±1.00% → neutral

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