Trade: NVIDIA (NVDA) closes above ___ on May 11?
Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to "Yes" if the official closing price for NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) on May 11 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
NVIDIA's closing price on 11 May 2026 will determine whether this market resolves affirmatively. The 96% implied probability on Polymarket's order book reflects overwhelming confidence that the stock will close above the specified strike price on that date. This probability is being formed through active trading on the platform's liquidity pools, where buyers and sellers are pricing in their expectations for the semiconductor firm's valuation roughly eighteen months forward.
Historical precedent suggests that single-day price targets for large-cap technology stocks trading near all-time highs carry execution risk despite high implied probabilities. NVIDIA has demonstrated substantial volatility around earnings announcements and macroeconomic shifts affecting semiconductor demand. The stock's sensitivity to artificial intelligence adoption narratives, data centre spending cycles, and geopolitical supply-chain developments means that even modest adverse catalysts can shift closing prices materially. Comparable high-probability markets on mega-cap equities have occasionally resolved against consensus when unexpected news emerged within the settlement window.
Traders should monitor NVIDIA's quarterly earnings schedule, any guidance revisions from management, and broader semiconductor sector developments in the months preceding May 2026. Announcements regarding advanced chip fabrication capacity, customer concentration risks, or competitive pressures from alternative processors could influence positioning. Additionally, macroeconomic conditions affecting enterprise capital expenditure and the trajectory of AI infrastructure investment will shape sentiment. Market holidays or trading halts could affect the final settlement mechanism, though the market rules specify that shortened sessions or last valid trade prices would be used if standard closing procedures are disrupted.

How to trade this market step by step
The mechanics for trading "NVIDIA (NVDA) closes above ___ on May 11?" 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.
- Sign in on polygram.ink with your email — no full KYC under $1,500 lifetime trading volume.
- Deposit USDC on Polygon (lowest fees, ~$0.01 per transaction) or Ethereum. Funds credit after 12 confirmations.
- Pick a side. Buy YES if you believe the event will happen; buy NO if you think it won't. The current YES price reflects the market's collective probability.
- Size your position. If you stake 100 USDC at 50% YES, you'll receive shares that pay $200 if YES resolves true — a 100% gross return. If NO resolves, your shares are worth $0.
- Set risk controls (optional). Stop-loss, take-profit, and limit-order types all supported. Use the trade ticket's slippage box to cap your maximum entry price.
- Wait for resolution. When the event resolves on-chain via the UMA optimistic oracle, the winning side settles to 100¢ automatically and USDC hits your balance within seconds. Withdrawable to any wallet you control.
How active is this market?
$3K in lifetime turnover and $42K of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for nvda contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is strong — order books support five-figure trades with single-cent slippage.
Last 24 hours alone saw $3K 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.
Key terms
- YES / NO share
- A binary outcome token that pays $1.00 if the underlying claim resolves true (YES) or false (NO), and $0 otherwise. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.
- CLOB
- Central limit order book. The matching engine that pairs YES buyers with NO buyers (effectively the same trade). Polymarket's CLOB on Polygon executes trades on-chain via the conditional-tokens framework.
- Liquidity
- USDC capital sitting in resting limit orders inside the order book. Deeper liquidity means smaller slippage on large trades and a tighter bid-ask spread.
- UMA optimistic oracle
- The on-chain dispute system that settles each Polymarket market. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution.
- 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.
- Conditional token
- ERC-1155 outcome share issued by Gnosis Conditional Tokens on Polygon. The token type that resolves to $1.00 or $0.00 at settlement.

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.
