Description

This event group tracks whether Gold (XAUUSD) will reach specific price levels in September 2026. The markets differ in their exact price thresholds and resolution methodologies across two platforms.

PredictionHero - Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA)

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Both platforms resolve based on whether Gold reaches specified price levels during September 2026 trading sessions, though thresholds and precise measurement rules differ slightly.Primary resolution logic: Pyth for Polymarket; Kalshi closing prices for Kalshi

Core resolution logic:

  • Prices must be achieved during a trading session in September 2026
  • Polymarket uses Pyth 1-minute candle highs/lows; Kalshi uses closing prices on August 31, 2026 at 5:00 PM EDT
  • If no trading occurs during the period, markets resolve to 'No'

Edge cases & clarifications:

  • Contract specification changes: Polymarket may adjust resolution based on CME COMEX futures if Pyth data is unavailable
  • Trading holidays: Trading sessions may be adjusted for holidays affecting normal market hours
Timing: Resolution occurs after September 2026 trading sessions concludeOur PredictionHero Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA) are there to help users identify potential differences across platforms. They do not replace or supersede the official rules and description of any prediction market. Users are solely responsible for reviewing and understanding the applicable rules and resolution criteria before placing any trade or bet.

Polymarket

What will Gold (XAUUSD) hit in September 2026?

Kalshi

Multiple threshold markets evaluate whether the closing price of a one-minute gold candlestick at 5:00 PM EDT on August 31, 2026 exceeds specified values. Each market resolves to 'Yes' if the price closes above its respective threshold. All markets share identical secondary rules: prices are rounded to two decimal places, with the closing price defined as the price at the end of the immediately preceding one-minute interval (e.g., the 4:59 PM candlestick closes at 5:00 PM). If no data is published for the specified time, the most recently available published data is used to resolve all markets.

Frequently asked questions

On Polymarket and Kalshi, pricing can vary due to differences in user bases, liquidity, and listing design. Polymarket and Kalshi can show different implied probabilities for the same outcome because of liquidity, fee structure, participant mix, and how each venue defines the contract. For example, one venue might have a more active retail trader base reacting quickly to news, while the other could see slower, institutional-style trading. These dynamics often create a spread of 3.0 between the two platforms, especially when market conditions shift rapidly ahead of major economic releases.

This market resolves around Oct 1, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. The final determination will hinge on widely available price data sources at the specified close time, ensuring an objective and transparent resolution process for all participants across platforms.

Key signals that could shift this market include central bank announcements on interest rates, inflation data releases, geopolitical tensions affecting safe-haven demand, and major shifts in currency strength. Updates to U.S. monetary policy or sudden changes in global risk appetite often drive rapid re-pricing in gold markets, and traders on Polymarket and Kalshi will react accordingly as new information emerges.
