Prediction evidence

1. Baseline: first BTC price at or after publication, $77,674 at 2 Nov 2026, 13:00 UTC.
2. Evaluation: price at the end of the 24 hours horizon, $77,299 at 3 Nov 2026, 13:00 UTC.
3. r = 77299.05 / 77674.24 − 1 = -0.5%
4. Direction d = −1 (bearish), so d × r = +0.5% (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
