Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to "Up" if the close price is greater than or equal to the open price for the BTC/USDT 1 hour candle that begins on the time and date specified in the title. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "Down". The resolution source for this market is information from Binance, specifically the BTC/USDT pair (https://www.binance.com/en/trade/BTC_USDT). The close « C » and open « O » displayed at the top of the graph for the relevant "1H" candle will be used once the data for that candle is finalized. Please note that this market is about the price according to Binance BTC/USDT, not according to other exchanges or trading pairs.
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, 8PM ET | 100% YES | 0% NO |
Bitcoin's price movement during the one-hour candle opening at 8PM ET on 9 May will determine whether this market resolves to "Up" or "Down". The resolution hinges on whether BTC/USDT closes at or above its opening price on Binance during that specific hourly period. Settlement occurs approximately five hours after the candle closes, once Binance finalises the data.
The current 100% implied probability on Polymarket reflects extreme confidence in an upward or flat close, though this probability formation warrants scrutiny given the binary nature of hourly price movements. Historical analysis of one-hour Bitcoin candles shows roughly 50-52% close above open across extended periods, suggesting the current odds significantly overweight upside. The order book depth and liquidity on Polymarket will reveal whether this probability stems from genuine conviction or thin trading conditions that have allowed the price to drift toward extremes.
Traders should monitor Bitcoin's broader market conditions in the hours preceding the settlement window, including any macroeconomic announcements or regulatory developments that could influence intraday volatility. Recent cryptocurrency market movements have been sensitive to US inflation data and Federal Reserve communications. The specific one-hour candle's outcome will depend on real-time order flow and positioning on Binance during that narrow window, making prediction inherently difficult despite the market's current pricing.
This market settles from the official outcome published at https://www.binance.com/en/trade/BTC_USDT. A proposer submits the final result to the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon; the two-hour dispute window closes and payouts clear in USDC.
