On Polymarket, this market is priced through an automated market maker that adjusts odds based on trader activity and order flow. On Polymarket, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. Traders purchase shares representing each possible outcome, and the price of those shares reflects the collective probability estimate. As more capital flows into one outcome, its price rises and the opposing outcome's price falls, creating a continuous equilibrium.
