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 10, 9:55PM-10:00PM ET | 100% YES | 0% NO |
Bitcoin's five-minute price movement between 9:55PM and 10:00PM ET on 10 May 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 across this narrow window, suggesting traders perceive minimal downside risk in such a brief timeframe. This extreme probability skew is typical for ultra-short-duration markets where random price fluctuations compete with genuine directional conviction.
Five-minute Bitcoin movements historically exhibit high variance relative to their magnitude. Analysis of intraday volatility patterns shows that across comparable five-minute windows, Bitcoin frequently records moves of 0.1–0.3% in either direction, with larger swings occurring during news releases or market-moving events. The current 100% probability implies either exceptional bullish sentiment preceding this specific window or a technical quirk in how the order book has consolidated around available liquidity.
Traders should monitor whether any scheduled economic data, Federal Reserve communications, or cryptocurrency-specific announcements fall within or immediately precede the settlement window. Chainlink's BTC/USD feed aggregates multiple price sources, so discrepancies between major exchanges during volatile moments could affect final settlement. The five-minute duration means this market is sensitive to order flow imbalances and flash movements rather than fundamental shifts in Bitcoin's valuation.
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 10, 9:55PM-10:00PM 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.
$66K in lifetime turnover and $0 of resting liquidity puts this market in the above the median 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 $66K 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.
