What counted as right

Status
resolved
Settled on
2022-10-14

A major tech-stock index (e.g. Nasdaq-100) falls ≥20% peak-to-trough during the Fed tapering and 2022 rate-hike cycle.

Criterion (a major tech-stock index falls >=20% peak-to-trough during the tapering/2022 rate-hike cycle) is clearly satisfied: NDX drawdown ~35-37%, far exceeding 20%, and squarely within the Fed-tightening window the claim named. resolved_on set to the ~2022-10-14 cycle trough; the -20% line was first crossed earlier in H1 2022. No outcome value assigned (later stage).

Evidence of what happened

  • Nasdaq-100 (NDX) fell ~35-37% peak-to-trough: from its Nov 2021 record high (closing high 16,573 on 2021-11-19; intraday ATH ~16,765 on 2021-11-22) to its 2022 cycle trough (~10,440 intraday on 2022-10-13, closing low ~10,679 on 2022-10-14). The ≥20% threshold was breached in H1 2022 and the full decline was realized before the 2022-12-31 deadline. This coincided exactly with the Fed tapering (begun Nov 2021) and 2022 rate-hike cycle (first hike Mar 2022, then a series of 75bp hikes) named in the criterion.

    Evidence

  • Contemporaneous reporting framing the Nasdaq/tech selloff explicitly as driven by Fed tapering and rate hikes, confirming the mechanism the prediction specified.
