Market context
West Texas Intermediate is trading in the low 80s, with one live market snapshot showing 81.83 dollars a barrel on the morning of 4 August and another later feed showing 90.24 dollars on 25 July, which puts the contract comfortably above the low-80s threshold implied by many day-ahead pricing markets.[2][1] Even so, the current crowd-implied probability of 0% YES suggests the strike is set well above the recent spot range rather than reflecting a view on the direction of the session itself.[7][8]
The nearest comparable guide is the August 2026 futures tape: August WTI settled up only 0.16% in one recent session, a sign that the market has been moving, but not in a straight line, even after a sharp prior drop.[8] Over the past month, quoted levels have spanned the mid-70s to low-90s across different snapshots, so the key reference for August 4 is whether the day’s trade can hold above the market’s recent upper band rather than simply recover intraday losses.[9][1] That kind of gap matters because these “closes above” contracts are decided on the final settlement print, not on the highest tick of the session.[8][11]
The main catalysts are the front-month settlement path, broader energy sentiment, and any fresh supply headlines before the close, particularly if they shift the cash-futures spread or push WTI away from the mid-80s zone.[4][11] Traders will also watch for any late-session inventory, OPEC+, or macro data headlines that can reprice the last hour, since the contract has already shown the ability to swing several dollars within a short window.[2][9]

FAQ
- When do sports markets resolve?
- Typically within hours of the official final whistle. Polymarket uses UMA Optimistic Oracle with source URLs pointing at official league data feeds — e.g. the Premier League for EPL markets, UEFA for Champions League, FIFA for World Cup.
- 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.
- Can I import form data and lineups?
- This page shows the live Polymarket quote as an implied probability. Form data and lineups must be researched separately via sports data providers (e.g. Soccerway, ESPN, FBref) — we surface the market probability, not the sport analysis.
