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 contract is titled "BNB Up or Down - October 16, 5:00AM-5:05AM ET" and is categorized under Crypto [1]. The supplied excerpt says it "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" [1]. Otherwise, it resolves to "Down" [1]. The resolution source is the Chainlink BNB/USD TWAP data stream, and the excerpt states that the market concerns that feed, "not according to any other sources or spot markets" [1].
The listed end time is 2026-10-16T09:05:00.000Z [1]. This is the provider's listed close for the contract. It is not an announced event, and it is not a record of how the market resolved.
Reading the snapshot
The saved snapshot shows Up at 0.505 and Down at 0.495 [1]. These are observed prices for one binary contract. They are not executable quotes or verified probabilities. The sample includes one market from one provider event, and the coverage record marks it as a complete sample for that event, not a partial one [1]. Because only these two outcomes appear, this evidence supports no comparison with other contracts or platforms.
The observation was recorded at 2026-10-15T16:13:13.851Z and retrieved at 2026-10-15T18:51:32.442Z [1]. The prices describe that moment only. They do not show current prices. In that retrieval, the provider status was listed as active [1]. Volume was not supplied, so this snapshot says nothing about liquidity or the number of traders.
What remains uncertain
The evidence does not explain why the prices are close to even. It contains no later prices and no recorded resolution, so the actual outcome is unknown. Whether the Chainlink TWAP will end at or above the starting price cannot be determined from this snapshot. Readers should check the live contract page and the cited Chainlink stream before relying on any figure here.

Saved Oct 15, 2026 UTCOverview
This is a short-duration crypto contract from Polymarket that asks whether the price of BNB, measured in US dollars, will rise or fall over a five-minute window. The title specifies the window as October 16, 5:00AM to 5:05AM ET. The contract resolves to "Up" if the time-weighted average price (TWAP) of BNB over that range is greater than or equal to the price at the beginning of the range. Otherwise it resolves to "Down" [1]. The comparison is therefore between an average price across the window and the starting price, not between the price at the start and the price at the end. The resolution source is Chainlink. The contract points to the BNB/USD TWAP data stream and specifies that the market concerns the price in that Chainlink stream for the BNB/USD pair, not prices from other sources or spot markets [1]. This matters because a BNB price visible on an exchange or aggregator is not the figure that decides the contract. Only the specified Chainlink data stream governs the outcome. The contract's listed end time is 2026-10-16T09:05:00Z, which corresponds to 5:05AM ET on October 16 [1]. That is the time the window closes. It is not evidence that the contract has settled. The record used for this article was observed at 2026-10-15T16:13:13Z and retrieved at 2026-10-15T18:51:32Z, and at that retrieval the provider listed the contract as active [1]. Anyone reading this later should treat the status as a past snapshot and check the provider for the current state. A market with two outcomes that trade near each other in a snapshot reflects the prices recorded at that moment. Those prices are not executable quotes, and the close of trading in the contract is separate from the resolution of the TWAP comparison.
Why It Matters
The contract measures whether BNB's average price over a specific five-minute interval is at or above its price at the start of that interval, as recorded in the Chainlink BNB/USD TWAP data stream [1]. Because the outcome depends on a time-weighted average rather than a single closing price, a brief spike or dip near the end of the window does not by itself determine the result. Because the source is specified, the contract also isolates one price feed from the wider market. Readers should note that the prices shown for the two outcomes in a snapshot are market prices at a moment in time, and volume or price levels alone do not indicate how much trading occurred or how many participants were involved.
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 does the "Up" outcome mean?
The contract resolves to "Up" if the time-weighted average price of BNB over the stated five-minute range is greater than or equal to the price at the beginning of that range [1].
What does the "Down" outcome mean?
The contract resolves to "Down" if the condition for "Up" is not met, meaning the time-weighted average price over the range is below the price at the beginning of the range [1].
Which price data decides the result?
The resolution source is Chainlink's BNB/USD TWAP data stream. The contract states that prices from other sources or spot markets do not determine the outcome [1].
When does the contract's window end?
The listed end time is 2026-10-16T09:05:00Z, which is 5:05AM ET on October 16 [1]. The listed time is the scheduled end of the window, not a record that the contract has resolved.
