This event group tracks whether the Nasdaq 100 Index (NDX) closes higher or lower on April 2, 2026 compared to the previous trading day. Polymarket frames this as a directional comparison (Up vs Down), while Kalshi offers 50 granular price-level contracts. Both use official Nasdaq closing prices as the settlement source.
Polymarket uses relative directional settlement (vs prior close), while Kalshi uses absolute price-level settlement. The two markets will resolve differently unless the prior trading day close coincidentally matches one of Kalshi's strike prices.
Hero Tip:
Do not assume these markets are interchangeable. Polymarket UP wins if NDX rises from the prior close, regardless of absolute level. Kalshi YES wins only if NDX exceeds a specific price threshold. Cross-platform arbitrage or hedging requires explicit alignment of your directional and price-level assumptions.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Directional comparison market. Resolves UP if April 2, 2026 close > most recent prior trading day close; DOWN if lower; 50-50 if equal. Source: WSJ Historical Prices. Handles edge cases (shortened sessions, trading halts, no trade) with fallback to last valid on-exchange trade price.
Kalshi: Absolute price-level market. Resolves YES if end-of-day NDX on April 2, 2026 exceeds any of 50 strike prices (20699.99 to 26599.99). No prior-close comparison; pure absolute settlement. No explicit edge-case handling documented.
