Trade: Amazon (AMZN) closes above 2026 on May 14?
Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to "Yes" if the official closing price for Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) on May 14 is higher than the listed price. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No." If the final session is shortened (for example, due to a market-holiday schedule), the official closing price published for that shortened session will still be used for resolution. If no official closing price is published for that session (for example, due to a trading halt into the close, system issue, delisting, or other disruption), the market will use the last valid on-exchange trade price of the regular session as the effective closing price.
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 context
Amazon's closing price on 14 May 2026 will determine this market's resolution. The 96% implied probability on Polymarket's order book reflects confidence that AMZN will close above the specified strike price on that date. Current order flow is pricing in a relatively tight distribution around the strike, with the high probability suggesting the threshold sits near or slightly below consensus price expectations for that session.
Historical precedent shows that single-session price targets for mega-cap equities typically resolve affirmatively when strikes are set conservatively relative to recent trading ranges. AMZN has traded with considerable stability in recent years, and the 96% probability aligns with scenarios where the strike is positioned within one standard deviation of expected spot price. Comparable markets on large-cap equities with similar timeframes and probability levels have historically reflected accurate crowd calibration, though tail risks—including earnings surprises, macroeconomic shifts, or sector-wide volatility—remain material considerations.
Traders should monitor Amazon's earnings calendar, cloud infrastructure announcements, and broader equity market conditions through May 2026. Any significant guidance revisions, AWS performance data, or shifts in technology sector valuations could influence closing price dynamics. Additionally, market holidays or shortened trading sessions in May could affect final settlement mechanics, though Polymarket's resolution criteria account for official closing prices on whatever session occurs. Liquidity on the order book will likely remain substantial given AMZN's prominence, allowing traders to adjust positions as the settlement date approaches.

How active is this market?
$140 in lifetime turnover and $344 of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for amzn 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 $140 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.

- Slippage
- The difference between the displayed mid-price and your fill price. Affects market orders most; limit orders avoid slippage but may take time to fill.

Risk and regulatory note
Prediction-market positions can lose 100% of staked capital. Outcomes are uncertain by definition — historical accuracy of crowd-implied probabilities is high in aggregate but not for any single market. PolyGram does not provide investment advice. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose.
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.
