Market context
This market resolves on whether Bitcoin’s one-hour candle closes higher than it opens at 3AM ET on 20 July, a timestamp now in the past relative to today’s 1AM UTC on 21 July. The 100% crowd-implied YES probability reflects that the candle has already finalized, with Binance data showing the close price met or exceeded the open, locking the outcome as “Up” per the contract terms.
Historically, such certainty in crypto prediction markets only emerges post-candle closure, when the resolution source—Binance’s BTC/USDT 1H chart—has locked the open (O) and close (C) values. Comparable cases from 2024–2025 show that once the candle is finalized, implied probabilities collapse to 100% on the correct side, as no further price movement can alter the resolved outcome. The current 100% figure aligns with this pattern, confirming the event is settled rather than predictive.
Traders should note that no further catalysts apply, as the settlement window ended at 08:00Z on 20 July. The resolution hinges solely on Binance’s published candle data, which is immutable once finalized. Recent price action shows Bitcoin trading near $65,011 with a 5% weekly gain, but this is irrelevant to the resolved market [1][3]. The only dependency was the candle’s completion, which has occurred, making the outcome definitive.

FAQ
- Are prediction markets better than sports betting?
- Prediction markets tend toward tighter odds than bookmakers because they use peer-to-peer exchange rather than bookmaker margin. On major matches, Polymarket quotes typically sit 2-5% closer to the true probability model than bet365 or DraftKings.
- Can I bet on individual matches?
- Yes, Polymarket lists every major Premier League / Champions League / World Cup match as its own market. Liquidity varies — top matches like El Clásico or a semi-final often have six-figure pools, lower-league games closer to three-figure.
- What are live sports odds on Polymarket?
- Some top-tier matches stay open during play — you can trade the half-time probability in the 70th minute. Polymarket mid-prices update second-by-second; any frontend mirroring the order book shows the same movement.
- Which sports markets are available?
- Football (soccer) dominates — Champions League, World Cup, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga — followed by NFL, NBA, tennis Grand Slams, Formula 1, boxing/MMA. Resolution via official league source confirmation.
- How fast do sports winnings settle?
- Once the official league outcome is logged in the UMA Oracle (typically 1-2 hours after the final whistle), Polymarket's smart contract triggers USDC payout. To your wallet within minutes.
