BTC/crypto does not print its final cycle bottom before ~2022-11-17, spending the intervening months below prior highs.
Criterion (no final cycle bottom before ~2022-11-17, prices below prior highs in the interim) is satisfied: the confirmed cycle low was 2022-11-21 and the market spent the whole window far below the 2021 high. Prior June 2022 low (~$17.6k) did not become the cycle bottom.

Evidence of what happened
The Bitcoin macro cycle bottom printed on 2022-11-21 at ~$15,476 (FTX-driven), i.e. AFTER the ~2022-11-17 reference date. Through May–November 2022 BTC traded well below its Nov-2021 ~$69k high, consistent with 'spending months searching for a bottom' and not printing the final low before mid-November.
Reporting on the FTX collapse confirms the November 2022 low (~$15.5k–$15.8k) as the cycle trough, with the drawdown reaching ~77–78% from the 2021 ATH; no earlier 2022 low undercut it.
