Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to "Up" if the close price is greater than or equal to the open price for the BTC/USDT 1 hour candle that begins on the time and date specified in the title. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "Down". The resolution source for this market is information from Binance, specifically the BTC/USDT pair (https://www.binance.com/en/trade/BTC_USDT). The close « C » and open « O » displayed at the top of the graph for the relevant "1H" candle will be used once the data for that candle is finalized. Please note that this market is about the price according to Binance BTC/USDT, not according to other exchanges or trading pairs.
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.
Market outcomes
| Bitcoin Up or Down - May 8, 10AM ET | 100% YES | 0% NO |
This market settles based on whether Bitcoin's price on Binance closes at or above its opening level during the one-hour candle beginning 10:00 AM ET on 8 May 2026. The resolution hinges on Binance's BTC/USDT pair data, with the close and open prices from the "1H" timeframe determining the outcome once that candle finalises at 11:00 AM ET.
The current order book on Polymarket reflects a 100% implied probability for "Up," suggesting traders are pricing in an expectation that Bitcoin will not decline during this specific hour. Historically, intraday hourly movements in Bitcoin show considerable variance; roughly 50-55% of hourly candles close higher than they open across normal market conditions, though this varies significantly depending on volatility regime and time of day. The extreme confidence reflected here warrants scrutiny—such pricing typically emerges either from information asymmetry, technical positioning, or thin liquidity in the order book itself. Comparable hourly Bitcoin markets during low-volatility periods have occasionally seen similar skewed probabilities that subsequently resolved against consensus.
Traders should monitor Bitcoin's price action in the hours preceding the settlement window, particularly any announcements from major exchanges, regulatory developments, or macroeconomic data releases scheduled for that morning. The specific 10:00 AM ET timing coincides with US market open, which historically introduces volatility in crypto pairs. Recent market structure changes and institutional participation patterns mean intraday Bitcoin moves have become less predictable than earlier periods, making the extreme probability assignment noteworthy for position-sizing considerations.
This market settles from the official outcome published at https://www.binance.com/en/trade/BTC_USDT. A proposer submits the final result to the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon; the two-hour dispute window closes and payouts clear in USDC.
The mechanics for trading "Bitcoin Up or Down - May 8, 10AM ET" are the same as any other PolyGram crypto-price 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.
$83K in lifetime turnover and $0 of resting liquidity puts this market in the around the median by volume for crypto contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is thin — large orders may need to be split across the book or executed as limit orders.
Last 24 hours alone saw $83K in turnover, well above the lifetime daily-average for this market — a clear sign of news catalysing trader activity right now.
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.
As of today, traders on Polymarket price this outcome at 100%. The number updates continuously as the order book clears. PolyGram mirrors the same live odds with locale-aware formatting and USDC settlement.
