What counted as right

Status
resolved
Settled on
2021-01-08

Major US equity indices (e.g. S&P 500) return to or above their immediate pre-Jan-6 level within one trading day (by 2021-01-08).

Criterion met, but note the premise is counterfactual: the market never actually fell after Jan 6 — it set consecutive record highs (Jan 6 and Jan 7). There was effectively nothing to 'recover' from; the S&P was above its pre-Jan-6 level continuously. Resolution is unambiguous regardless of the exact Jan-5 baseline (~3,726.86).

Evidence of what happened

  • Major US indices set all-time-high closes on Jan 6 AND Jan 7, 2021 — the market rose through the Capitol events rather than falling. On Thursday Jan 7 (the trading day after Jan 6, and the day the claim was made) the S&P 500 closed at a record 3,803.79, and Jan 8 closed higher still at ~3,824.68. The immediate pre-Jan-6 level (Jan 5 close ~3,726.86) was exceeded on Jan 6 itself (~3,748) and every day after, so any 'recovery' was met within one trading day.

    Evidence

  • Contemporaneous report confirming the Dow and S&P 500 closed higher on Jan 6, 2021 despite the Capitol protests, establishing the index was already at/above its pre-event level on the event day.
