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 9, 10:25AM-10:30AM ET | 100% YES | 0% NO |
Bitcoin's price movement over a five-minute window on 9 May 2026 between 10:25 and 10:30 AM Eastern Time will determine this market's outcome, with settlement based on Chainlink's BTC/USD data feed rather than spot exchange prices. The current order book on Polymarket reflects a 100% implied probability for an upward or flat price movement, suggesting traders are pricing in either strong conviction of price stability or minimal expected volatility during this specific interval.
Five-minute price windows in Bitcoin typically exhibit low volatility outside of major news events or market-moving announcements. Historical precedent suggests that intraday micro-timeframes often resolve to minimal price changes, with the majority of such windows settling as "up" simply due to the baseline difficulty of sustained downward pressure over seconds. The extreme probability reading here reflects the inherent challenge of predicting directional movement in such compressed timeframes, where bid-ask spreads and order flow noise often dominate price discovery.
Traders monitoring this market should watch for scheduled economic data releases or cryptocurrency-specific announcements timed around the settlement window. Federal Reserve communications, employment reports, or major exchange maintenance windows could introduce volatility, though the five-minute window remains too brief for most fundamental catalysts to fully propagate through markets. Chainlink's data feed itself represents the critical dependency—any technical issues or delays in the oracle's price reporting would directly affect settlement accuracy rather than underlying Bitcoin spot prices.
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 9, 10:25AM-10:30AM 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.
$90K in lifetime turnover and $0 of resting liquidity puts this market in the top 30% by volume for up or down 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 $90K 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.
