After Bitcoin first trades at $20,000, it remains capped at/around $20,000 (no decisive break to new all-time highs) for roughly 2-4 months, then breaks above into price discovery.

NOT MET. The criterion required BTC to remain capped around $20k for ~2-4 months after first touching it before breaking to new highs. Instead it broke into price discovery essentially immediately (weeks, not months), so the specific 'hold as resistance for a few months' shape did not occur.

Outcome evidence

  • Bitcoin first traded at $20,000 on 2020-12-16 and immediately entered price discovery — it did NOT cap at/around $20k. It reached ~$29k by end-Dec 2020 and ~$40k by early Jan 2021 (roughly doubling within ~3 weeks), with no multi-month period held as resistance near $20k.

Corrections

  • horizon deadline: Deadline should anchor to 'a few months' after BTC first reached $20k (2020-12-16), not made_on + 36 months; 2023-09-28 is the default price-target horizon mis-applied to a near-term shape claim.
  • tags: Bitcoin-specific claim; 'crypto' is the most-central controlled tag.
