Description

This event group tracks whether the S&P 500 Index closes higher or lower on March 9, 2026 compared to the prior trading day. Polymarket uses a relative day-over-day comparison, while Kalshi uses absolute price thresholds. Both markets reference the official closing price for that date.

PredictionHero - Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA)

Divergence Detected

Issue:

Polymarket uses relative day-over-day price comparison logic, while Kalshi uses 50 distinct absolute price thresholds. The two platforms are measuring fundamentally different outcomes and cannot be reconciled into a single unified resolution.

Hero Tip:

Treat these as two separate markets. Polymarket requires knowledge of March 8, 2026 close (or prior trading day if March 8 is a holiday). Kalshi requires identifying your specific threshold contract and comparing March 9 close against that single level. Cross-platform arbitrage is not viable here due to structural incompatibility.

Critical Divergence Points:

  • Polymarket:

    Relative movement market. Resolves Up if March 9 close > prior trading day close; Down if lower; 50-50 if equal. Uses WSJ Historical Prices as official source. Handles shortened sessions and trading halts with fallback to last valid on-exchange trade price.
  • Kalshi:

    Absolute threshold market with 50 separate Yes conditions, each tied to a different price level (6074.9999 to 7549.9999). No explicit No condition stated; implicit No would be if close is at or below the lowest applicable threshold. Does not reference prior-day close or relative movement.
