Ethereum prints its highest price of the current market cycle on or before January 31, 2026.
The highest price of the current market cycle was set Aug 24-25, 2025, which is on/before the Jan 31, 2026 deadline. Confirmed by ~11 months of subsequent price action (as of 2026-07-14 ETH remains far below the Aug 2025 peak and never exceeded it in Feb-Jul 2026). CAVEAT for scoring stage: 'cycle top' is inherently retrospective — if the same market cycle later prints a higher high before the cycle ends, the true top date would move past Jan 31. Given the sustained ~40-60% drawdown and no new high through mid-2026, the Aug 2025 top is robust, but the scorer should note this residual model-dependent uncertainty.

Outcome evidence
ETH's cycle high was ~$4,946-$4,953 printed Aug 24-25, 2025 (Coinbase ATH $4,953.73, Aug 25).
By late January 2026 ETH traded ~$2,850-$2,927 (~42% below the Aug 2025 peak); by early Feb 2026 it fell near $1,755. It did NOT reprint or exceed the Aug 2025 high at any point through mid-2026.
Corrections
- tags: Claim is about Ethereum's price (its market-cycle top); the dictionary's 'crypto' tag applies, not 'markets'.
