How boundaries are counted
Down includes its boundary: a price of exactly $79,200 counts as Down.
Up includes its boundary: a price of exactly $80,800 counts as Up.
Within is strictly between $79,200 and $80,800. The three outcomes cannot overlap and always sum to 100%.
Down includes its boundary: a price of exactly $76,000 counts as Down.
Up includes its boundary: a price of exactly $84,000 counts as Up.
Within is strictly between $76,000 and $84,000. The three outcomes cannot overlap and always sum to 100%.
Down includes its boundary: a price of exactly $72,000 counts as Down.
Up includes its boundary: a price of exactly $88,000 counts as Up.
Within is strictly between $72,000 and $88,000. The three outcomes cannot overlap and always sum to 100%.
Down includes its boundary: a price of exactly $40,000 counts as Down.
Up includes its boundary: a price of exactly $120,000 counts as Up.
Within is strictly between $40,000 and $120,000. The three outcomes cannot overlap and always sum to 100%.

Within ranges exclude both boundaries. Wider thresholds always have a larger Within share: the estimates nest consistently. Values shown as “<0.1%” or “>99.9%” are bounds; the underlying values sum to 100%.

AI average — method
Simple mean of the OpenAI and Claude probabilities for each outcome, rounded so the three sum to 100. Uncalibrated: it has not been adjusted using settled outcomes.
Both models receive the same evidence pack and reference price, so their estimates are not statistically independent. Averaging two runs does not double the information.
OpenAI — run details
Model: [OpenAI model ID from run metadata] · Run: 31 Oct 2026, 06:09 UTC · Evidence pack: [pack ID]
Returns a probability distribution over 26 return bins; all four thresholds are computed from it. Checked to sum to 100 and to nest across thresholds before publishing.
Claude — run details
Model: [Anthropic model ID from run metadata] · Run: 31 Oct 2026, 06:10 UTC · Evidence pack: [pack ID]
Returns a probability distribution over 26 return bins; all four thresholds are computed from it. Checked to sum to 100 and to nest across thresholds before publishing.
Statistical reference — method
Synthetic fixture: lognormal price at the target with zero median change and 15.8% volatility over the horizon (about 55% a year).
A simple baseline from price history. It is not a market-implied (risk-neutral) estimate, and no claim is made that it is more or less accurate than the models.

Distribution of possible returns
AI average, built only from the threshold probabilities. Each band’s probability is spread evenly across its width, so the steps come from the thresholds, not from a modelled price path. Heights show probability per percentage point because bands differ in width.AI average, spread evenly within each threshold band. Heights are probability per percentage point.
Histogram of the bands listed in the table below: probability per percentage point for each band between −50% and +50%.
Hover a band for its price range and probability. Not drawn: 0.2% below −50% ($40,000) and 3% above +50% ($120,000).

Why these estimates?
Factors the models cited for this target date. Each item says whether it is a reported fact or the model’s inference.
What could push the price higher?
What could push it lower?
-
Tighter financial conditions Model inference
If US yields keep rising before the target date, the models expect pressure on bitcoin alongside other risk assets. 3
-
Regulatory setback Model inference
An adverse US decision affecting crypto exchanges or ETFs before the target date would likely weigh on the price. 4
-

Prediction-market context
Listed contracts ask whether bitcoin touches a price before a deadline, not the price on 30 Nov 2026, 23:59 UTC. No related contract settles near this date. Market evidence is left out rather than shown as 0%.
Options-implied (risk-neutral) estimates are a different kind of evidence and are not shown in this version. How sources are matched
What this forecast may miss
- The path before the target. A move above $100,000 before the target date followed by a fall would not change the outcome.
- News after 31 Oct 2026, 06:12 UTC. It enters only when a new version is published.
- Differences between venues. Individual exchanges can trade away from the reference price source.
- Calibration. The AI average has not been adjusted using settled outcomes, and this pair has very little live history.
- Market-implied views. The statistical reference is a simple baseline, not an options-implied (risk-neutral) estimate.
