About This Event
This market will resolve to "Up" if the close price is greater than or equal to the open price for the BTC/USDT 1 hour candle that begins on the time and date specified in the title. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "Down". The resolution source for this market is information from Binance, specifically the BTC/USDT pair (https://www.binance.com/en/trade/BTC_USDT). The close « C » and open « O » displayed at the top of the graph for the relevant "1H" candle will be used once the data for that candle is finalized. Please note that this market is about the price according to Binance BTC/USDT, not according to other exchanges or trading pairs.

What the contract measures
This contract is a Polymarket event titled "Bitcoin Up or Down - October 29, 6PM ET" [1]. It resolves to "Up" if the close price is greater than or equal to the open price for the BTC/USDT 1 hour candle that begins at the time and date in the title. Otherwise it resolves to "Down" [1]. The source names Binance BTC/USDT as the resolution source and states that the market concerns "the price according to Binance BTC/USDT, not according to other exchanges or trading pairs" [1].
The listed end time is 2026-10-29T23:00:00.000Z [1]. The title uses Eastern Time, while the listed end time is in UTC, so readers comparing the two should check the conversion. The source does not state when the candle data will be finalized beyond saying the open and close will be used "once the data for that candle is finalized" [1].
Reading the snapshot
The saved observation time is 2026-10-29T12:00:06.991Z, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-29T13:31:29.172Z [1]. These are different moments. The prices below describe the observation time, not the retrieval time, and they are not a current quote.
At the observation time, the saved market showed "Up" at 0.5 and "Down" at 0.5 [1]. Because the two prices are equal, the snapshot gives no directional lean between the two outcomes. Prices are snapshots, not executable quotes, and they should not be read as verified probabilities.
This evidence covers one market from one provider event. The coverage record shows one total market, one included market, and no partial sample [1]. No other platform or contract is included, so no comparison across providers is possible here.
What remains uncertain
The evidence does not show the open or close of the relevant Binance candle, so the result of the contract cannot be determined from this record. It also does not show any price movement after the observation time, any trading activity, or the reasons for the 0.5 prices.
Readers comparing this contract with others should check their wording and listed close times. Contracts with different resolution sources, candle definitions, or end times measure different things, and differing prices between them do not by themselves indicate an opportunity.

Saved Oct 29, 2026 UTCOverview
This is a short-horizon crypto contract from Polymarket that asks whether bitcoin's price will finish a one-hour window higher or lower than it started. The contract's rules say it resolves to Up if the close price is greater than or equal to the open price of the BTC/USDT one-hour candle that begins at the time and date in the title. If the close is lower than the open, it resolves to Down [1]. The title for this contract is Bitcoin Up or Down - October 29, 6PM ET, and the provider lists the end time as 2026-10-29T23:00:00Z [1]. The measurement source is specified in the rules. The resolution source is information from Binance, specifically the BTC/USDT trading pair. The rules direct that the close and open shown at the top of the relevant 1H candle on that chart will be used once the data for that candle is finalized [1]. The rules also make clear that the contract tracks the price on Binance BTC/USDT only, not prices on other exchanges or other trading pairs [1]. Because of this, a move on a different venue would not change the outcome by itself. The provider's record for this event shows it as active at the time of the saved observation, which was 2026-10-29T12:00:06Z, and the record was retrieved at 13:31 UTC on the same day [1]. That status describes the saved snapshot only. It does not show that the candle has closed or that the contract has resolved. The observation time, the retrieval time, the listed end time, and the actual resolution are separate events, and the rules tie resolution to the finalized Binance candle data rather than to any of these timestamps [1].
Why It Matters
The contract measures the direction of one bitcoin price candle on one exchange. It does not measure bitcoin's price across the market as a whole, a daily move, or a move on any other trading pair [1]. Traders and readers looking at its price should keep in mind that the rules fix the measurement to the Binance BTC/USDT one-hour candle, with the open and close values taken once that candle's data is finalized [1]. The price shown for an outcome is a snapshot from the saved record and is not a verified probability or an executable quote.
