- 2020-12-16
BTC spot price stays below ~$19,000 (does not get close to $20,000) at every point on or before 2020-12-31.
Criterion required BTC to stay below ~$19,000 through 2020-12-31; it did not. BTC crossed $20,000 on 2020-12-16 and closed the year near $29,000. Outcome value (whether prediction hit/missed) is left to the scoring stage; evidence shows the ~$20k level was reached and exceeded within the window.
