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.
Crypto-price prediction markets like this one tend to gain volume in the final 48 hours as derivatives traders hedge spot exposure. Odds will populate live once the order book fills (the resolution date has passed — final payout is being settled via UMA oracle).

Market outcomes
| Bitcoin Up or Down - May 15, 6:30PM-6:35PM ET | 100% YES | 0% NO |
Bitcoin will be judged over a five-minute window on Chainlink’s BTC/USD stream, with the result turning on whether the end price is at or above the start price. On Polymarket, the current 100% implied probability means the order book is effectively fully stacked on one side, so the displayed price is being formed by extremely thin or one-sided liquidity rather than balanced disagreement. For a window this short, the market is largely a read on microstructure and feed behaviour, not on direction in the broader crypto trend.
Comparable ultra-short BTC up/down markets usually settle with the prevailing intraday drift and the exact timing of prints rather than any new fundamental information. Bitcoin is still trading well below its October 2025 peak of about $126,000, with recent spot references in the high-$70,000s to low-$90,000s depending on venue and timestamp, underscoring that cross-exchange levels can differ materially even before looking at Chainlink’s feed. When the implied probability sits at 100%, it often reflects that traders see the window as too short for meaningful downside to overcome the natural bias from price persistence and bid/ask bounce.
The main things to watch are the Chainlink BTC/USD stream itself, any volatility around major exchange opening hours, and whether broader crypto headlines or macro releases land inside the window. Recent reporting from Fortune and Coinbase showed Bitcoin around the $80,000 area on 15 May, but this market resolves only on the Chainlink reference, so spot moves elsewhere matter only insofar as they transmit into that data stream. Any abrupt move in BTC, a data gap, or a brief feed dislocation during the five minutes would matter far more than the broader daily trend.
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.
For this market, the resolution date is 15 May 2026. A UMA proposer can submit the outcome from that moment; the two-hour dispute window closes at , and assuming no counter-claim is staked, winning USDC clears to trader balances by approximately .
If a dispute is filed inside the two-hour window, the outcome escalates to UMA token-holder voting, which extends settlement by roughly 48 hours. Disputed resolutions are rare — fewer than 0.5% of PolyGram markets in 2026 to date — and even rarer for events with clear, verifiable resolution sources.
Funds clear directly to your in-app USDC balance on Polygon. From there, withdrawals are non-custodial: send to any address you control, typical confirmation under 30 seconds, gas paid in USDC if you'd rather not hold MATIC.
Minimum order size on PolyGram is $1.00, with no maximum cap aside from available book depth. Orders route into Polymarket's on-chain CLOB on Polygon; the matching engine pairs YES buyers with NO buyers atomically — every executed trade is settled on-chain with no counterparty risk.
The trade ticket includes a slippage box (default 2%, configurable 0.1%-10%) that caps the worst-case entry price. At the current YES price of 100%, a $100 stake on YES would buy shares paying out at $1.00 each on resolution — your slippage tolerance and the depth of resting limit orders determine the actual fill.
PolyGram charges 0% house edge — no spread mark-up, no rake on winnings, no withdrawal fees beyond network gas. The platform earns exclusively from optional features (copy-trade boosts, advanced order types, the yield vault on idle USDC); the trading surface itself is at-cost.
The mechanics for trading "Bitcoin Up or Down - May 15, 6:30PM-6:35PM 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.
$122K in lifetime turnover and $0 of resting liquidity puts this market in the above 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 $122K 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.

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.
