What counted as right

Status
resolved
Settled on
2021-06-22

At some point before the cycle's bull-market peak, Bitcoin's weekly price touches or falls below its 20-week moving average

Criterion (weekly price touches/falls below 20-week MA at least once before the cycle bull peak) is met. The 2020-2021 cycle peaked 2021-11-10 (~$69k); the sub-20WMA test in May-June 2021 preceded it. The exact 20WMA value is a derived indicator, not a single reported figure, but the ~50% drawdown from ~$64k to ~$29k in weeks makes a sub-20WMA weekly close/touch technically certain.

Evidence of what happened

  • During the May-July 2021 correction (well before the cycle's Nov-2021 peak), BTC crashed from ~$64k (mid-April 2021) to below $30,000 on 2021-06-22. With the trailing 20-week SMA sitting far above $30k at that time (the prior 20 weeks spanned ~$30k-$64k, averaging ~$45-50k), the weekly price fell decisively below its 20-week moving average, satisfying the 'touches or falls below' criterion.

Corrections

  • horizon deadline: 'this market cycle' from Oct-2020 = the 2020-2021 cycle, which peaked 2021-11-10 per the record's own resolution notes; 2024-06-30 is the following cycle.
