Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to "Up" if the Close price for Gold (XAUUSD) on May 13, 2026 is higher than the Close price for Gold (XAUUSD) on the most recent prior trading day. This market will resolve to "Down" if the Close price for Gold (XAUUSD) on May 13, 2026 is lower than the Close price for Gold (XAUUSD) on the most recent prior trading day. E.g., ordinarily, a market on Monday would refer to the previous Friday for its most recent closing price, unless Friday were not a trading day under the applicable trading-hours schedule, in which case it would refer to the next most recent prior trading day. If the two specified closing prices are exactly equal, this market will resolve 50-50.
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
| Gold (XAUUSD) Up or Down on May 13? | 0% YES | 100% NO |
Gold will either close higher or lower on 13 May 2026 relative to its previous trading day's close. The current orderbook on Polymarket shows zero probability assigned to an up move, reflecting either extreme bearish sentiment or insufficient liquidity at current ask prices. This pricing suggests traders are heavily weighted towards a down move or that the market lacks sufficient participation to establish a balanced two-sided book at this settlement window.
Day-to-day gold price movements historically exhibit mean-reversion characteristics, with roughly 48–52% of sessions closing higher than the prior day across most market regimes. The 0% implied probability for an up move represents a statistical outlier compared to long-term frequency distributions, indicating either a structural information advantage priced into the orderbook or a liquidity constraint where sellers have set ask prices so high that no buyers have stepped in. Similar extreme probabilities on single-day directional moves typically resolve when fresh capital enters the market or when new information shifts trader positioning.
Catalysts affecting gold on that date will centre on US macroeconomic data, Federal Reserve communications, and USD strength. The dollar index and real yields remain primary drivers of gold's near-term direction. Traders should monitor any scheduled economic releases in the days preceding 13 May, geopolitical developments affecting safe-haven demand, and any shifts in interest-rate expectations. The settlement window closes at 21:00 UTC, capturing the New York close for spot gold.
This market settles from the official outcome published at https://pythdata.app/explore/Metal.XAU%2FUSD. 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 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 0%. The number updates continuously as the order book clears. PolyGram mirrors the same live odds with locale-aware formatting and USDC settlement.
