This event group tracks whether the Nasdaq 100 (NDX) index closes higher or lower on April 15, 2026 compared to the prior trading day. Polymarket frames this as a directional comparison (Up vs Down), while Kalshi offers 60 granular price-level thresholds. Both markets resolve based on official end-of-day NDX closing prices.
Polymarket and Kalshi use fundamentally different settlement frameworks: Polymarket resolves on directional movement relative to the prior trading day, while Kalshi resolves on absolute price thresholds. These produce different economic outcomes and require different trading strategies.
Hero Tip:
Understand your market type before trading. Polymarket is a directional momentum bet; Kalshi is an absolute price-level bet. The same NDX close can produce opposite outcomes on the two platforms depending on the prior day's price and which Kalshi threshold is relevant.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Directional comparison framework. Resolves Up if April 15 close exceeds prior trading day close, Down if lower, 50-50 if equal. Uses WSJ Historical Prices (Close values) as official source. Handles edge cases: shortened trading days use official close; trading halts use last valid on-exchange trade price; no trading = 50-50.
Kalshi: Absolute price-level framework. Offers 60 binary Yes/No outcomes, each tied to a specific strike price (22299.99 through 28199.99 in 100-point increments). Resolves Yes if end-of-day NDX value exceeds the strike; No otherwise. No explicit edge-case handling provided in source data.
