BTC Up or Down on Aug 9?

About Market

MARKET SUMMARY

This market forecasts the 24-hour price change in BTC/USDT from 16:00 UTC on August 8th, 2026, to 16:00 UTC on August 9th, 2026. This captures short-term momentum in the crypto market based on official Binance data.

RULES
  1. The market resolves to "Up" if the closing price of the Binance 1-minute BTC/USDT candle ending at 16:00 UTC on August 9th, 2026, is strictly greater than the closing price of the 1-minute candle ending at 16:00 UTC on August 8th, 2026.
  2. The market resolves to "Down" if the closing price on August 9 is strictly less than the closing price on August 8.
  3. If the closing prices are exactly equal, the market resolves 50-50.
  4. Prices are sourced from the Binance chart for BTC/USDT (available at binance.com/en/trade/BTC_USDT) in UTC timezone, using the close of the respective 1-minute candles.
  5. Fallback source if Binance data is incomplete or unavailable: CoinGecko historical data for Bitcoin vs. USDT (coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcoin/historical_data?vs_currency=usdt), using the end-of-day price snapshot for August 7th, 2026 (as proxy for 16:00 UTC on August 8) and August 8th, 2026 (as proxy for 16:00 UTC on August 9), since CoinGecko snapshots are taken at UTC midnight.
  6. If APIs or charts return partial or incomplete data (e.g., an incomplete candlestick), use the last available closing price before the specified timestamp.
  7. If there is a discrepancy greater than 0.1% between Binance and CoinGecko data, resolve the outcome by averaging the closing prices from both sources.
  8. Intraday prices and trading halts are ignored; only the specified closing prices count.
  9. Resolution will occur no later than 17:00 UTC on August 9th, 2026, once data for August 9th, 2026, is available and verified.
