About This Event

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

What the contract measures

This snapshot covers one Polymarket market titled "Ethereum Up or Down - October 26, 5:40AM-5:45AM ET" [1]. The rules state that the market "will resolve to "Up" if the time-weighted average price (TWAP) of Ethereum, 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 ETH/USD TWAP data stream from Chainlink, and the rules say the market concerns "the price according to the TWAP Chainlink data stream for the asset pair ETH/USD, not according to any other sources or spot markets" [1].

The title uses Eastern Time, while the listed end time is 2026-10-26T09:45:00.000Z [1]. Readers comparing this with other ether contracts should check both the stated window and the reference source, since a contract that uses a different data feed or time window is not measuring the same event.

Reading the snapshot

The provider observation time is 2026-10-25T12:00:06Z, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-25T12:35:59Z [1]. The quoted prices at observation were Up at 0.505 and Down at 0.495 [1]. These are snapshot values from that observation time. They are not executable quotes, and they are not verified probabilities.

The sample includes one market from one event, with no partial sampling flagged [1]. Because the sample contains only the Up and Down outcomes of this single contract, it says nothing about other ether time windows or other platforms.

What remains uncertain

The evidence does not show the market's price after the observation time, nor whether it is still active when a reader views this page. The saved status was active at the time of retrieval [1], but the status could differ later. The evidence also does not explain why the quoted prices stood where they did, and it does not report trading volume, liquidity, or the number of participants. Volume would not indicate liquidity or trader count in any case.

The evidence does not establish the actual resolution outcome, which depends on the Chainlink TWAP data for the stated window. The small gap between the two prices should not be read as a forecast or as an arbitrage signal without the trading conditions that the evidence does not supply.

Overview

This contract is a short-window price market for Ethereum, titled "Ethereum Up or Down - October 26, 5:40AM-5:45AM ET" and categorized under crypto [1]. It asks whether the price of Ethereum over a five-minute window will finish at or above where it started. The contract states that it will resolve to "Up" if the time-weighted average price (TWAP) of Ethereum, 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 measurement is specific. The contract refers to the ETH/USD TWAP data stream from Chainlink, and it says the market concerns the price shown by that stream and not by any other source or spot market [1]. A reader therefore needs to focus on the stated data feed rather than on general Ethereum price headlines when interpreting the outcome. The saved provider record shows the contract with a listed end time of 2026-10-26T09:45:00.000Z and a status of active at the time the record was observed [1]. The record was observed on 2026-10-25 at 12:00:06 UTC and retrieved shortly afterward [1]. Those times describe when the provider data was captured. They are not a resolution time, and the contract's rules do not announce any event beyond the listed end of the window.

Why It Matters

The contract measures the direction of Ethereum's price across a single five-minute interval, using a time-weighted average from a named Chainlink data stream rather than a single trade or a general market price [1]. Because the comparison is between the average over the window and the price at the window's start, the outcome depends on the path of the data feed during those five minutes. The market's listed prices are snapshots of trading activity at a given moment and do not, by themselves, establish how likely either outcome is [1]. Readers should also keep the difference between the observation time of the record and the window's end time in mind when comparing any figures.

Snapshot context

The latest published provider snapshot for this topic was observed on 2026-10-25 at 12:00 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an "Up" resolution require?

The contract resolves to "Up" if the TWAP of Ethereum over the stated time range is greater than or equal to the price at the beginning of that range [1].

What does a "Down" resolution mean?

If the TWAP over the time range is not greater than or equal to the starting price, the contract resolves to "Down" [1].

Which data source decides the outcome?

The resolution source is information from Chainlink, specifically the ETH/USD TWAP data stream, and the contract says other sources or spot markets do not govern the result [1].

Does the listed price tell me the chance of each outcome?

The listed prices are snapshots taken at a specific observation time. They are not executable quotes or verified probabilities, so they should not be read as confirmed chances of either outcome [1].

When does the window end?

The saved listed end time is 2026-10-26T09:45:00.000Z [1].
