Context
Aug 20, 2026
Probability fell from 50.5% to 40.0% — a 10.5-point move over the past day.
The probability of the upper level being hit first has traded between 25.0% and 54.5% during the life of this market and now stands at 34.0%. It shifted by -1.0 pts over the past day
The market settles in favor of the lower price level if Ethereum’s price on Binance dips to or below that level before crossing the higher one. It settles for the higher level if the opposite occurs. If neither level is reached by Jan 1, 2027, the market resolves at an even split. All prices are sourced from Binance’s ETH/USDT one-minute candles. As Ethereum’s spot price moves relative to the two thresholds, the odds of which one gets breached first adjust accordingly. The only fixed constraints are the Jan 1, 2027 deadline and the exclusive reliance on Binance data.
FAQ
What happens if Ethereum’s price touches both levels simultaneously?
The market rules do not explicitly cover a simultaneous breach. In practice, the resolution source would determine which level was crossed first based on Binance’s candle data.
Which exchange decides the final outcome?
The market uses Binance’s ETH/USDT pair, specifically the high and low of one-minute candles, as stated in the description.
Is there a possibility of a partial payout if neither level is reached?
Yes, if neither level is breached by Jan 1, 2027, the market resolves at an even split between the two outcomes.
Does the market consider prices from other exchanges?
No, only Binance ETH/USDT data is used for settlement.
