What counted as right

Status
resolved
Settled on
2022-09-26

TRUE if the S&P 500 never closes below its lowest close of the 2022 bear market prior to 2022-07-29 (the 2022-06-16 closing low) at any point from 2022-07-29 through 2025-07-29; FALSE if it closes below that level within the window. The outlet-supplied 'above 4,800 by year-end 2022' leg is not part of the scored claim.

A lower closing low than the 2022-06-16 level was set inside the window, starting 2022-09-26 and bottoming at 3577.03 on 2022-10-12, roughly 2.4 percent below the 2022-06-16 reference close. resolved_on is set to 2022-09-26, the first date the written criterion became determinate. Per the criterion, the outlet-supplied 'above 4,800 by year-end 2022' leg was excluded from this record and is handled separately under tom-lee-202208-sp500-4800-ye. No conflicting credible evidence found.
