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 7, 2:15PM-2:30PM ET | 0% YES | 100% NO |
This market tracks whether Bitcoin's price on the Chainlink BTC/USD data stream will be higher or flat at 2:30PM ET on 7 May 2026 compared to 2:15PM ET that same day. The fifteen-minute window captures intraday volatility, where Bitcoin typically experiences modest price swings absent major news releases. The 0% implied probability on Polymarket's order book suggests traders are pricing in a directional decline during this specific interval, though such extreme probabilities in short-duration markets often reflect thin liquidity rather than high conviction.
Fifteen-minute Bitcoin price movements rarely exhibit predictable patterns independent of broader market catalysts. Historical analysis of comparable short-window trades shows that without scheduled announcements or macroeconomic data releases, Bitcoin's direction becomes essentially a coin flip. The current 0% probability appears disconnected from typical intraday behaviour, where price consolidation or modest upward drift is common during non-volatile trading sessions. This extreme skew likely reflects either minimal order book depth or a specific expectation about market conditions on that date.
Traders should monitor whether major economic data, Federal Reserve communications, or cryptocurrency-specific announcements are scheduled for early May 2026. Bitcoin's behaviour during the settlement window will depend heavily on broader market sentiment and any breaking news. The Chainlink data stream's pricing may also diverge slightly from major spot exchanges, though such discrepancies are typically minor. Without identified catalysts pushing directional movement, the actual price action during this fifteen-minute period will likely depend on accumulated orders and algorithmic trading activity rather than fundamental shifts.
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 7, 2:15PM-2:30PM 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.
$51K in lifetime turnover and $0 of resting liquidity puts this market in the around 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.
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.

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.
