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 Polymarket contract covers a single 15-minute window, "Bitcoin Up or Down - October 29, 12:15AM-12:30AM ET" [1]. It resolves to "Up" if the time-weighted average price (TWAP) of Bitcoin, generated by Chainlink, over that window is greater than or equal to the price at the beginning of the range. Otherwise it resolves to "Down" [1]. The source names a specific Chainlink data stream, 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]. Any comparison with other Bitcoin markets should account for this exact measurement method.

Reading the snapshot

The saved snapshot was observed at 2026-10-28T06:00:06.006Z, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-28T07:26:57.115Z [1]. These are the times to use when describing the prices, not the time you are reading this. The snapshot lists "Up" at 0.505 and "Down" at 0.495 [1]. Read as prices, that is roughly 50.5 and 49.5 on a 0 to 100 scale, and the two sides sum to 1.00. The record shows a provider status of active and a listed end time of 2026-10-29T04:30:00.000Z [1].

These figures are snapshot prices, not executable quotes or verified probabilities. The record contains no order book depth, spreads, or volume, so it cannot show how easily a position could be entered or exited.

What remains uncertain

The sample covers one market from one provider event, and it is complete for that event: the record lists one total market and one included market with no partial sample [1]. Because only this event is present, no comparison with other platforms or other time windows is possible from this evidence.

The listed end time is the provider's recorded close, and the resolution outcome is not in the evidence. The snapshot does not explain why the prices are where they are, and it says nothing about how many participants hold either side. A reader comparing this contract with a differently worded Bitcoin contract should check the measurement window, the reference source, and the listed close time before treating the prices as comparable.

Overview

This is a short-horizon crypto contract listed on Polymarket under the title "Bitcoin Up or Down - October 29, 12:15AM-12:30AM ET" [1]. It asks whether Bitcoin's price will be higher or lower over one fifteen-minute window. The provider's saved record shows the status as active, with a listed end time of 2026-10-29T04:30:00Z [1]. The saved observation was taken at 2026-10-28T06:00:06Z, so it describes the market at that earlier time and does not show current trading. The contract resolves to "Up" if the time-weighted average price (TWAP) of Bitcoin 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 outcome therefore depends on an average across the window compared with the starting price, not on the price at the final moment. The resolution source is Chainlink's BTC/USD TWAP data stream [1]. The provider states that the market concerns the price according to that Chainlink data stream for the BTC/USD pair, and not any other source or spot market [1]. Traders reading the contract should therefore look at that specific feed when considering how it will be settled, rather than at prices on other exchanges. The saved snapshot lists two outcomes, Up at 0.505 and Down at 0.495 [1]. These are observed prices at the time of the snapshot. They are not executable quotes, and they are not verified probabilities of the outcome.

Why It Matters

The contract measures the direction of Bitcoin's price over a fifteen-minute interval, as represented by Chainlink's BTC/USD TWAP data stream [1]. Because the comparison is between a time-weighted average over the window and the price at the window's start, the contract tracks average price movement across the period rather than a single reading [1]. The contract's rules specify that only this Chainlink feed governs resolution, which is why the choice of data source matters for interpreting the outcome [1].
