Frequently asked questions

Prediction market odds reflect real-money commitments from traders and often diverge from passive spot-price sentiment because they embed forward-looking conviction and risk appetite. Unlike social media or sentiment indices, this market forces participants to put capital behind their views, creating a more disciplined signal. The odds you see here represent the marginal trader's belief about ETH's direction on the settlement date, not just current price momentum or technical positioning.

Polymarket and Predict operate under different liquidity pools, user bases, and fee structures, which can cause temporary price gaps. Polymarket and Predict can show different implied probabilities for the same outcome because of liquidity, fee structure, participant mix, and how each venue defines the contract. Traders on one platform may react faster to news, or arbitrage opportunities may not yet have closed the spread. These differences typically narrow over time as sophisticated traders exploit mispricings, but during volatile periods or low-liquidity windows, you may see meaningful divergence between the two venues.

Major catalysts include Federal Reserve policy announcements, macroeconomic data releases, regulatory developments affecting crypto, and Bitcoin price action—since ETH often correlates with BTC. Layer 2 scaling updates, staking yield changes, and broader equity market sentiment can also shift trader positioning. Additionally, on-chain metrics like exchange inflows and whale activity, combined with technical levels and options expiry dates, may trigger rapid repricing as the settlement date approaches.
