Resolves TRUE if the US Dollar Index (DXY) ended 2022 lower than it started (net decline over the calendar year 2022). FALSE if DXY rose over 2022. (DXY in fact rose sharply in 2022.)
Deadline 2022-12-31 has passed. Criterion: TRUE if DXY ended 2022 lower than it started; FALSE if it rose. DXY in fact rose over 2022 (from ~95.7 at the start to ~103.5 at year-end, peaking at 114.78 in September). The prediction of a weaker dollar in 2022 was contradicted by the data. Direction is clear and deterministic; scoring stage assigns the outcome value.

Evidence of what happened
US Dollar Index (DXY) ROSE over calendar year 2022, ending near 103.5 after peaking at a ~20-year high of 114.78 on 2022-09-27. DXY started 2022 around the mid-95 to 96 area, so it finished the year well ABOVE where it began — a net rise, contradicting the 'weaker dollar in 2022' prediction.
Corroboration: DXY hit a 20-year peak of 114.78 on 27 Sep 2022 and ended the year around 103.5, up on the year despite retreating from the September high. Multiple sources confirm DXY gained ~8% in 2022 (from ~95.7 to ~103.5).
