Bitcoin does not trade at or above ~$18,000 within ~3 months of the utterance (by ~2021-01-24)
Criterion clearly not met: BTC broke to ~$18k about 25 days after the utterance, far inside the ~3-month window. No conflicting evidence.

Outcome evidence
BTC traded above $18,000 for the first time since Dec 2017 on 2020-11-18 (intraday ~$18,172), i.e. within ~1 month of the 2020-10-24 utterance and well inside the ~3-month near-term window (by ~2021-01-24). Criterion says the claim requires BTC NOT to reach ~$18k in that window; it did.
BTC continued upward, crossing $20,000 on 2020-12-16, further confirming an $18k breakout occurred within the near-term window.
