What the contract measures

This snapshot covers a single Polymarket event, "BNB Up or Down - October 26, 9PM ET" [1]. The rules say the market resolves to "Up" if the close price is greater than or equal to the open price for the BNB/USDT 1 hour candle that begins on the time and date in the title. Otherwise it resolves to "Down" [1]. The resolution source is Binance's BNB/USDT pair, and the rules state that "this market is about the price according to Binance BNB/USDT, not according to other exchanges or trading pairs" [1]. A price on a different exchange or pair would therefore not settle this contract, even if it looks similar.

The listed end time is 2026-10-27T02:00:00.000Z [1]. The title uses Eastern Time, while the listed end time is in UTC. The excerpt does not explain how these two references line up, so readers should check the candle's timing directly on Binance before relying on either one.

Reading the snapshot

The provider observation time is 2026-10-25T03:00:06.023Z, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-25T03:47:35.626Z [1]. These figures describe what the provider reported at those times. They are not live quotes, and the excerpt does not say whether the market has traded since then.

At the observation time, both outcomes were listed at 0.5: "Up" at 0.5 and "Down" at 0.5 [1]. Because this is a binary contract with both outcomes included, the saved sample is complete for this event. The coverage record shows one market, with none omitted [1]. The record does not show trading volume, depth, or the number of participants, so the prices cannot be read as liquidity or as a measure of how many people hold each view. A quoted price is also not a verified probability of the candle closing up or down.

Nothing in the evidence explains why the two prices are equal, and this comparison should not be read as a forecast of direction.

What remains uncertain

The excerpt does not include any later price, any settlement result, or any other source on BNB's movement. It also does not establish whether the Binance candle has closed, since the rules say the close and open are used "once the data for that candle is finalized" [1]. Readers comparing this contract with a similar one on another platform should check that the wording, resolution source, and listed end time match before treating the prices as comparable.
