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

What the contract measures
This snapshot covers one Polymarket event, "BNB Up or Down - October 16, 10:40AM-10:45AM ET," in the Crypto category [1]. The contract resolves to "Up" if the time-weighted average price (TWAP) of BNB, generated by Chainlink, over the time range in the title is greater than or equal to the price at the beginning of that range. Otherwise it resolves to "Down" [1]. The resolution source is the BNB/USD TWAP data stream from Chainlink, and the rules state that the market is "about the price according to the TWAP Chainlink data stream for the asset pair BNB/USD, not according to any other sources or spot markets" [1]. A reader comparing this with a BNB price from an exchange or another data feed should expect that difference to matter.
The listed end time is 2026-10-16T14:45:00.000Z [1]. That is the contract's closing time in the provider data. It is not evidence of how or when the contract will be settled in practice.
Reading the snapshot
The provider observation time is 2026-10-15T16:13:13.851Z. The source was retrieved at 2026-10-15T17:35:23.629Z [1]. The quoted prices are therefore a record of conditions at the observation time, not a live view. The saved prices are "Up" at 0.505 and "Down" at 0.495 [1].
These figures are snapshot prices, not executable quotes or verified probabilities. They do not show the depth available at either price, and the difference between them is small. The contract's rules are the reference for what each outcome means, not the prices alone.
The market coverage shows one market for this event, with one included and no partial sampling [1]. That describes the saved provider event only. It does not establish that the provider lists every possible real-world outcome for this question, and no other platform's contract for this period has been supplied for comparison.
What remains uncertain
The evidence does not show the state of the market after the observation time, the trading volume or number of participants, or any reason the prices sit where they do. It also does not establish the BNB price at the start of the window or any result, since the window had not closed at the time of retrieval. Any comparison with other contracts should first check whether they use the same asset, time window, and data source. Differences in wording or closing time can make contracts that look similar resolve differently.

Saved Oct 15, 2026 UTCOverview
This market is titled "BNB Up or Down - October 16, 10:40AM-10:45AM ET" and is listed in the Crypto category on Polymarket [1]. It is a short-window contract on the price of BNB measured in US dollars. The rules say it will resolve to "Up" if the time-weighted average price (TWAP) of BNB over the time range in the title is greater than or equal to the price at the beginning of that range. Otherwise, it resolves to "Down" [1]. The resolution source is the BNB/USD TWAP data stream provided by Chainlink [1]. The rules state that the market concerns the price in that Chainlink data stream and not any other source or spot market [1]. Because the outcome depends on an average over the window rather than the price at a single moment, the price at the end of the window does not alone determine the result. The comparison is between the average across the window and the price at its start [1]. The title uses Eastern Time, while the provider lists the end time in UTC as 2026-10-16T14:45:00.000Z [1]. At the time of the retrieved record, the provider status was active [1]. The rules describe how the contract would be decided, but the available record does not describe the settlement process or confirm how or when the outcome was recorded.
Why It Matters
The contract measures whether BNB's Chainlink BNB/USD TWAP over the stated five-minute window is at or above the price at the start of that window [1]. Its rules make the averaging method and the named data stream the basis for resolution, so a reader should look at those specifics rather than general BNB price news. The title's Eastern Time window and the UTC end timestamp are two ways of stating the same contract period, and the rules do not describe any event beyond the price comparison.
Snapshot context
The latest published provider snapshot for this topic was observed on 2026-10-15 at 16:13 UTC. It contains listings from Polymarket. Market descriptions and listed closing times define the contracts; they do not establish that the real-world outcome has occurred. This article does not include a separately verified news update. [1]
Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as an "Up" result?
The contract resolves to "Up" if the time-weighted average price of BNB over the stated window is greater than or equal to the price at the beginning of that window [1].
Which price feed decides the outcome?
The rules name the Chainlink BNB/USD TWAP data stream as the resolution source and say that other sources or spot markets are not used [1].
Is the listed end time the same as the resolution time?
The provider lists an end time of 2026-10-16T14:45:00.000Z [1]. The available rules do not describe the settlement timing beyond the window they define, so the listed end time should not be read as a confirmed resolution time.
