Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to "Up" if the Bitcoin price at the end of the time range specified in the title is greater than or equal to the price at the beginning of that range. Otherwise, it will resolve to "Down". The resolution source for this market is information from Chainlink, specifically the BTC/USD data stream available at https://data.chain.link/streams/btc-usd. Please note that this market is about the price according to Chainlink data stream BTC/USD, not according to other sources or spot markets.
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 11, 11:40PM-11:45PM ET | 51% YES | 50% NO |
This market captures a five-minute window in Bitcoin's price action on 11 May at 11:40–11:45 PM Eastern Time, settling against Chainlink's BTC/USD oracle feed rather than spot exchange prices. The current 51% implied probability reflects near-parity between traders expecting upward and downward movement across this narrow timeframe, with the order book on Polymarket pricing marginal directional conviction either way.
Five-minute Bitcoin price movements typically correlate with broader intraday volatility patterns and real-time order flow rather than fundamental shifts. Historical precedent suggests that in low-volatility regimes, such tight windows tend to resolve randomly around the 50% mark, whilst periods of elevated volatility—driven by macroeconomic data releases, Federal Reserve communications, or large institutional trades—can skew outcomes meaningfully. The current 51% YES probability sits squarely within the noise band typical of such micro-timeframe markets, indicating traders perceive genuine uncertainty rather than directional bias.
Catalysts during this specific window remain sparse unless major announcements coincide with the exact five-minute period. Traders should monitor whether any US economic data, cryptocurrency exchange news, or derivative market moves occur near 11:40 PM ET on that date. Chainlink's BTC/USD feed aggregates multiple price sources, so divergences between spot markets and the oracle's reported price could influence settlement. Given the settlement window extends to May 2026, any technical issues with the Chainlink feed or disputes over its accuracy represent tail risks worth considering.
This market settles from the official outcome published at https://data.chain.link/streams/btc-usd. 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 11, 11:40PM-11:45PM 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.
$0 in lifetime turnover and $8K 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.
As of today, traders on Polymarket price this outcome at 51%. The number updates continuously as the order book clears. PolyGram mirrors the same live odds with locale-aware formatting and USDC settlement.
Resolution is sourced from https://data.chain.link/streams/btc-usd. Settlement is executed by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon, with a 2-hour dispute window before payouts clear.
This prediction market is scheduled to close on 12 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.
