This event group tracks whether the Nasdaq 100 Index (NDX) closes higher or lower on Friday, February 27, 2026 compared to the most recent prior trading day. Polymarket frames this as a directional comparison (Up vs Down), while Kalshi offers 60 separate binary contracts, each tied to specific price thresholds on that date.
Polymarket uses relative price movement (day-over-day comparison) while Kalshi uses absolute price levels. These are fundamentally different resolution frameworks that cannot be reconciled.
Hero Tip:
Treat these as separate markets with different risk profiles. Polymarket is a directional bet; Kalshi contracts are level-based bets. Hedging between them requires careful modeling of the prior trading day's close and expected volatility.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Directional comparison framework. Resolves UP if Feb 27 close exceeds the most recent prior trading day close; DOWN if lower; 50-50 if equal or no regular session trading. Uses WSJ Historical Prices as official source. Handles shortened sessions and trading halts by using last valid on-exchange trade price.
Kalshi: Absolute price threshold framework. 60 separate binary contracts, each resolving Yes if end-of-day NDX on Feb 27 exceeds a specific price level. Thresholds span 22299.99 to 28199.99 in 100-point increments. No reference to prior day or relative movement.
