Please read this until the end, I need your help for an interesting experiment.
A few months ago my brother and I had a discussion about swarm intelligence in humans.
I just remembered our discussion and thought it would be a cool experiment to try here.
On the internet are plenty of videos and articles about swarm intelligence. I picked two out for you:

- TL;DR: 1906, 787 people guessed the weight of a steer. The average guess was 1,197 pounds. The actual weight of the steer was 1,198 pounds. This is just ~ 0.084% difference. Of course not all experiments had results like that. Some experiments had huge differences.

- TL;DR: 1987, Jack Treynor brought a jar full of 850 jelly beans into his class and asked his students to guess the number of jelly beans inside. The group of 56 people guessed an average of 871 jelly beans, which is ~ 2.5% off. Only one of the students guesses was closer to 850 than the average.
2007, Michael Mauboussin asked 73 students to guess the number of jelly beans in his jar. The average guess was 1,151 while the actual number was 1,116. This is ~ 3.1% off.
If you are interested in more, just google or watch YouTube videos about it.
Our experiment:
I thought, if the average of multiple people can guess almost the exact weight of a steer, or the jelly beans inside a jar with a difference of about 3%, can we maybe predict a chart together?
Would it be possible to predict a chart of a crypto currency if everyone has the same infos? If this works it would be pretty cool. And if we can not predict it correct, it would be interesting how much % we were off.
The setup:
I will pick out an unknown crypto chart and show you the 1h, 4h and 1d view. Then everyone gives a prediction where the chart will be in a week on August 6th at 8pm UTC.
On August 6th at 8pm I will reveal the crypto currency, calculate the average of all predictions and post the results in this thread.
1h chart:

4h chart:

1d chart:

Again, on August 6th at 8pm UTC the average of all predictions will get posted here.
I predict, the chart will be at 0.7155 in a week.
Now it is your turn. I appreciate every post with a prediction. So thank you in advance!
Note: Troll predictions like 0.1 or 5 will not be taken into the final calculation.
