Crypto (BTC) makes a local price bottom around early May 2024 and trends net higher over the subsequent months.

Criterion (local bottom around early May 2024, then net higher over subsequent months) is met on both legs: the ~$58.5k May 1 2024 low held as a local bottom, and BTC trended substantially higher over the following ~12 months. Note there was a lower intraday print (~$53.5k) in early July 2024, so the early-May low was a local — not the absolute — low of the year; the net-higher trend still holds. No outcome value assigned.

Outcome evidence

  • BTC made a local bottom right around the early-May 2024 call: it fell to $58,568 on May 1, 2024 (its lowest of the pullback), the day before the 2024-05-02 prediction, then recovered — rallying back above $60k and to a 60-day peak of $71,947 by May 21–22, 2024.

    Evidence

  • Over the subsequent months BTC trended net higher despite volatility (early-July 2024 dip to ~$53.5k and the Aug 5 2024 crash): it made new all-time highs above $100k (~$108k) in Dec 2024/Jan 2025 and was in the mid-$80k–low-$90k range by early May 2025 — far above the early-May 2024 bottom.
