Outcome
Right, but late Happened 26 January 2026.
No window was given; per the rules a long-run call is read as about ten years (to end-2025). Gold ended 2025 well short of $5,000 and first traded above $5,000 around January 26, 2026, just after that window, so it is scored late rather than accurate (the cautious choice; a borderline call).
