Probability

45%

Bitcoin traded at approximately $65,500–$66,500 on 22 July 2026 (open $66,508, low $65,557 — Yahoo Finance). Reaching $68,000 by 31 July would require approximately +3.8% over 8 trading days. Positive: Polymarket monthly crypto markets show BTC on an upward trend; the existing Cassandra year-end >$80,000 prediction implies a positive trend expectation. Headwinds: Iran crisis and elevated oil prices support risk-off sentiment. No specific Polymarket market found for $68k/July 31. Estimated probability: ~45%.

Verdict: Miss

Bitcoin notierte am 31. Juli 2026 bei ca. 63.874–64.724 USD und verfehlte die 68.000-USD-Marke deutlich (ca. −4.100 USD bzw. ~−6 %). Laut Yahoo Finance ('Crypto prices back off this morning') eröffnete BTC an diesem Tag bei 64.724 USD und fiel im Tagesverlauf weiter auf ~63.875 USD. Der Kurs lag damit sogar unter dem Ausgangsniveau vom 22. Juli (~65.500–66.500 USD), anstatt die erforderlichen +3,8 % zuzulegen.

Stabilizing factors: hike largely priced in (Polymarket: 93% for zero 2026 cuts), Q2 earnings solid, no recession signals.
