Description

This event group tracks whether crude oil (WTI) futures will close higher or lower on March 16, 2026. Kalshi offers 15 separate binary markets, each with a fixed price threshold, while Polymarket offers a single relative-change market comparing March 16's settlement to the prior trading day's settlement.

PredictionHero - Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA)

Divergence Detected

Issue: Kalshi and Polymarket measure fundamentally different outcomes: Kalshi uses absolute price thresholds across 15 distinct markets, while Polymarket uses a single relative day-over-day comparison. Both source from CME official settlement prices, but the resolution logic and market structure diverge.Hero tip: Kalshi markets are threshold-based bets on absolute WTI price levels on March 16. Polymarket is a directional bet (up vs. down from March 15). These are not interchangeable. To hedge or arbitrage, you must know the March 15 settlement price and your conviction on the absolute March 16 level. A price of $95.50 would lose all Kalshi markets (all thresholds are higher) but could win or lose Polymarket depending on March 15's close.

Critical divergence points:

  • Kalshi: 15 separate binary markets, each with a fixed absolute price threshold ranging from $88.99 to $102.99. Resolution: Yes if front-month WTI settle price on March 16, 2026 exceeds the threshold; No otherwise. Key Quote: 'If the front-month settle price for a barrel of West Texas Intermediate oil on March 16, 2026 is above $[threshold], then the market resolves to Yes.'
  • Polymarket: Single binary market (Up/Down) comparing March 16 settle price to March 15 settle price. Resolution: Up if March 16 > March 15; Down if March 16 < March 15. If no change or CME fails to publish by 11:59 PM ET next day, resolves 50-50. Key Quote: 'This market will resolve to Up if, on Monday, March 16, 2026, the official CME settlement price for the Active Month (front month) of Crude Oil (CL) futures is higher than the previous trading day's official settlement price.'
