This event group tracks whether the Nasdaq 100 Index (NDX) closes higher or lower on Monday, March 2, 2026 compared to the most recent prior trading day. Polymarket frames this as a relative day-over-day comparison, while Kalshi offers 60 separate binary markets each tied to specific absolute price thresholds on that date.
Polymarket and Kalshi use incompatible market structures: Polymarket is a relative binary (Up/Down/Tie), while Kalshi offers 60 absolute price-level binaries. They measure different settlement values and cannot be unified into a single resolution framework.
Hero Tip:
Treat these as separate markets with different risk profiles. Polymarket requires prior-day close data; Kalshi requires only absolute March 2 close. Verify your platform's data source before settlement. No direct arbitrage exists between them.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket:
Relative day-over-day binary. Resolves Up if March 2 NDX close exceeds the most recent prior trading day close, Down if lower, 50-50 if equal. Uses Wall Street Journal Historical Prices as official source. Handles edge cases: shortened sessions use official close, trading halts use last valid on-exchange trade, no trading resolves 50-50.
Kalshi:
60 independent absolute price-level binaries. Each resolves Yes if end-of-day NDX on March 2 exceeds a specific threshold (21999.99 to 27899.99). All thresholds are evaluated against the same single closing price. No relative comparison; no tie resolution; no prior-day reference.
