Bitcoin's fourth market-cycle price peak occurs during calendar 2023 (within ±6-8 months, i.e., mid-2022 to early 2024).
Criterion = Bitcoin's fourth market-cycle price peak occurs in calendar 2023, tolerance window mid-2022 to early 2024. No cycle peak occurred anywhere in that window: BTC's 2021 top predates it, 2023 was a recovery year (no top), and even the early-2024 high ($73,750, Mar 2024) was not the cycle peak — the cycle continued upward to its actual top of ~$126K in Oct 2025, far outside the window. Falsifiable and falsified by the 2023-12-31 deadline; outcome value left for scoring stage.
