Prediction evidence

1. Baseline: first BTC price at or after publication, $78,478 at 30 Oct 2026, 07:00 UTC.
2. Evaluation: price at the end of the 24 hours horizon, $77,239 at 31 Oct 2026, 07:00 UTC.
3. r = 77239.41 / 78477.74 − 1 = -1.6%
4. Direction d = +1 (bullish), so d × r = -1.6% (neutral only if the price is unchanged) → incorrect

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