Bitcoin does not rally up to touch its 50-week moving average before January 1, 2026.
Criterion (no upward touch of the 50-week MA before Jan 1, 2026) is satisfied: BTC stayed capped near $90k all December while the 50-week MA held ~$101–103k. resolved_on set to 2025-12-31, the close of the prediction window with no touch having occurred. Exact daily 50W-MA values were not pulled from a live chart, but the gap (>$10k) between the December price ceiling and the MA leaves no ambiguity.

Evidence of what happened
Bitcoin broke down below its 50-week EMA (~$101k) in mid-November 2025 and never reclaimed it for the rest of the year. Through December 2025 BTC was pinned in an $85,000–$90,000 range (rallies sold near $90k), while the 50-week SMA sat near $103k / 50-week EMA near $101k — so price never rose to touch the 50-week MA before Jan 1, 2026.
Year-end confirmation: BTC hovered ~$87,755 on Dec 28, 2025, far below the ~$101–103k 50-week MA band; peak of the year ($126,198) was on Oct 6, well before the prediction window. BTC never revisited the 50W MA in December.
