About This Event

This market will resolve to "Up" if the time-weighted average price (TWAP) of Bitcoin, generated by Chainlink, 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 TWAP data stream available at https://data.chain.link/streams/btc-usd-twap-60s-streams. Please note that this market is about the price according to the TWAP Chainlink data stream for the asset pair BTC/USD, not according to any other sources or spot markets.

What the contract measures

This is a single Polymarket contract titled "Bitcoin Up or Down - October 26, 7:50AM-7:55AM ET" [1]. It resolves to "Up" if "the time-weighted average price (TWAP) of Bitcoin, generated by Chainlink, 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"" [1]. The resolution source is the BTC/USD TWAP data stream from Chainlink, and the rules state that the market concerns "the price according to the TWAP Chainlink data stream for the asset pair BTC/USD, not according to any other sources or spot markets" [1].

The source lists an end time of 2026-10-26T11:55:00.000Z [1]. That is the listed close time, not a confirmed resolution time. The evidence does not show how or when the contract was settled.

Reading the snapshot

The provider observation was taken at 2026-10-25T12:00:06 UTC, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-25T12:35:37 UTC [1]. At observation, the saved prices were Up at 0.505 and Down at 0.495, with the provider status shown as active [1]. These are snapshot prices, not executable quotes or verified probabilities. The evidence does not include a current price, so these figures should not be read as today's live quotes.

The sample covers one market from one provider event. Coverage shows one total market, one included, and no partial sample [1]. The source notes that all saved markets for this event are included, but "This does not establish that the providers list every possible real-world outcome" [1]. Because this is a binary Up or Down contract, there is no other outcome to compare against within this event. No volume or trader information is included, so the snapshot says nothing about liquidity or how many participants hold each side.

What remains uncertain

The evidence does not explain why the Up and Down prices sit where they do. It also does not show the Bitcoin price at the start of the range, the TWAP during the range, or the final result. Other Bitcoin contracts with different windows, wording, or resolution sources would not be directly comparable to this one, even where prices differ. The difference between an Up price of 0.505 and a Down price of 0.495 at one observation time is small, and the evidence does not show how it would change.

Overview

This PredictPedia contract is a short-window binary market on the direction of Bitcoin's price. Its title refers to the window from 7:50AM to 7:55AM ET on October 26 [1]. The contract is based on a time-weighted average price rather than a single price at one moment [1]. The resolution rule is that the market resolves to "Up" if the time-weighted average price (TWAP) of Bitcoin over the title's time range is greater than or equal to the price at the beginning of that range. Otherwise, it resolves to "Down" [1]. The outcome therefore depends on how the averaged price over the window compares with the starting price, not on where Bitcoin trades at the final instant. The named resolution source is information from Chainlink, specifically its BTC/USD TWAP data stream with a 60-second TWAP [1]. The rules state that the market concerns the price according to this Chainlink data stream and not according to any other sources or spot markets [1]. A reader comparing this contract with prices on exchanges should keep that difference in mind. The source record lists the provider status as active and gives a listed end time of 2026-10-26T11:55:00.000Z [1]. That listed end time marks when the window closes under the contract rules. It is not evidence that the contract has settled, and the supplied record does not show an outcome.

Why It Matters

The contract measures whether the Chainlink BTC/USD TWAP over a five-minute window, as named in the title, finishes at or above its starting level [1]. Because the reference is a time-weighted average from one named data stream, the contract isolates that data source's behavior over the window. The rules explicitly exclude other sources and spot markets, so the contract answers a narrower question than "Did Bitcoin rise?" in a general sense [1].
