Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to "Yes" if the "Close" price for the BTC/USDT 1 hour candle that ends on the time and date specified in the title is higher than the price specified in the title. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The resolution source for this market is Binance, specifically the BTC/USDT "Close" prices currently available at https://www.binance.com/en/trade/BTC_USDT with "1h" and "Candles" selected on the top bar. Please note that this market is about the price according to Binance BTC/USDT, not according to other exchanges or trading pairs. Price precision is determined by the number of decimal places in the source.
PolyGram is an on-chain prediction market where you trade YES or NO outcome shares with real USDC on Polygon. For this market, buy YES if you believe the event will happen, or NO if you think it won't. Your maximum loss is your stake — winning shares pay $1.00 each at resolution. Unlike sportsbooks, there is no house edge: prices are set by supply and demand from other traders and reflect the crowd's real-time probability.

This market resolves based on Bitcoin's closing price on the BTC/USDT pair at Binance during the one-hour candle ending 21:00 UTC on 9 May 2026. The 100% implied probability reflects a threshold price that sits substantially below current Bitcoin valuations, making resolution to "Yes" highly probable under normal market conditions. The current order book on Polymarket shows minimal liquidity at the extremes, with the consensus probability formed through modest trading volume rather than deep conviction positioning.
Historical precedent suggests that Bitcoin's hourly volatility, whilst material on intraday timeframes, rarely produces downward moves of sufficient magnitude to breach thresholds set far below spot prices. The 2024–2025 period demonstrated that even during significant corrections, Bitcoin maintained support levels that would require extraordinary catalyst events to breach substantially lower prices. Markets priced similarly to this one—where the threshold sits comfortably beneath prevailing valuations—have historically resolved affirmatively with high frequency, though tail-risk scenarios involving exchange outages, regulatory shocks, or systemic financial stress remain non-zero.
Traders should monitor macroeconomic data releases and Federal Reserve communications in the weeks preceding the settlement window, as these have historically driven material Bitcoin repricing. Geopolitical developments and cryptocurrency regulatory announcements from major jurisdictions could introduce volatility, though the threshold's positioning suggests considerable margin for error. The specific reliance on Binance's BTC/USDT candle data means technical issues at that exchange, whilst unlikely, represent a discrete operational risk distinct from price movement itself.
Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour dispute window opens, and if no one stakes a counter-claim the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token-holder voting. Payouts clear in USDC to the winning side.
The mechanics for trading "Bitcoin above ___ on May 9, 5PM ET?" are the same as any other PolyGram event contract. Each YES share resolves to $1 if the event happens, or $0 if it doesn't. The current price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the market's probability estimate, set live by the order book.
$205 in lifetime turnover and $0 of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for bitcoin contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is thin — large orders may need to be split across the book or executed as limit orders.
The market has been open for under a month — fresh enough that information asymmetry remains a real factor.
Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.
Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a 2-hour dispute window opens, and if uncontested the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token holders.
This prediction market is scheduled to close on 9 May 2026. After the resolving event occurs, settlement typically clears within 24 hours once the UMA optimistic oracle confirms the outcome. All payouts are in USDC on the Polygon network.

Prediction-market positions can lose 100% of staked capital. Outcomes are uncertain by definition — historical accuracy of crowd-implied probabilities is high in aggregate but not for any single market. PolyGram does not provide investment advice. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose.
Regulatory status varies by jurisdiction. Germany, the United States, and most EU countries treat Polymarket-style event contracts under one of three frameworks: financial derivative, gambling product, or unregulated novel asset. Consult local counsel before trading.
