This event group tracks whether the Nasdaq 100 Index (NDX) closes higher or lower on March 11, 2026 compared to the prior trading day. Polymarket uses a relative day-over-day comparison, while Kalshi uses absolute price level thresholds. Both markets reference the official end-of-day closing price from the Nasdaq 100 Index.
Polymarket and Kalshi employ fundamentally incompatible resolution architectures. Polymarket resolves on relative day-over-day movement (binary Up/Down), while Kalshi resolves on 60 independent absolute price level thresholds. These cannot be unified into a single settlement outcome, and the markets will produce logically independent results.
Hero Tip:
Treat Polymarket and Kalshi as separate instruments. Polymarket is a directional bet requiring knowledge of the March 10 close; Kalshi is a level-based bet requiring only the March 11 close. A Polymarket Up outcome does not guarantee any specific Kalshi outcome, and vice versa. Arbitrage is not possible between these two market types.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket:
Relative comparison market. Resolves Up if March 11 NDX close > March 10 (or most recent prior trading day) close; Down if lower; 50-50 if equal. Uses Wall Street Journal Historical Prices as official source. Handles shortened sessions and trading halts by using last valid on-exchange trade price. Key Quote: 'This market will resolve to Up if the official Nasdaq 100 Index closing price for Nasdaq 100 (NDX) on Wednesday, March 11, 2026 is higher than the official Nasdaq 100 Index closing price for NDX on the most recent prior trading day.'
Kalshi:
Absolute level threshold market. Contains 60 separate binary Yes/No conditions, each triggered if end-of-day NDX on March 11 exceeds a specific price point. Price thresholds range from 21899.99 to 27899.99 in 100-point increments. All conditions are independent; multiple can resolve Yes simultaneously. No relative comparison; no prior day reference. Key Quote: 'If the end-of-day Nasdaq 100 index value on March 11, 2026 is above 26099.99, then the market resolves to Yes.'
