This group of markets asks forecasters to predict the price of Bitcoin on October 18th, using Binance BTC/USDT as the source of truth. Markets range from predicting if the price will be below a certain threshold to above another, or within specific price bands.
This market will resolve according to the final "Close" price of the Binance 1 minute candle for BTC/USDT closing at 12:00 in the ET timezone (noon) on the date specified in the title. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The resolution source for this market is Binance, specifically the BTC/USDT "Close" prices currently available at https://www.binance.com/en/trade/BTC_USDT with "1m" and "Candles" selected on the top bar. If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher range bracket.

Polymarket and Opinion can show different implied probabilities for the same outcome because of liquidity, fee structure, participant mix, and how each venue defines the contract. Differences in pricing between Polymarket and Opinion on this market can arise from several factors. These platforms have distinct user bases, trading mechanisms, and risk appetites, which influence how traders value potential outcomes. Polymarket might attract more sophisticated traders with access to different information, while Opinion could have a broader range of participants. Furthermore, varying liquidity and market-making activity on each platform can also contribute to price discrepancies. These factors combine to create potentially different probabilities for the same event.
