3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Will Solana dip to $90 October 12-18? — resolved “No” on 20 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if the lowest price on any one-minute Binance candle for SOL/USDT between October 12 and October 18 hits $90 or lower. It resolves to No if that specific low never occurs within the defined timeframe. Readers often mistake the linked news story about the Alpenglow upgrade as relevant, but only the Binance price data matters.
  • Will the price of Solana be above $100 on October 14? — resolved “Yes” on 14 Oct 2026. The market resolves to "Yes" if the Binance 1-minute candle for SOL/USDT closing at noon ET on October 14 has a final close price above $100. Otherwise, it resolves to "No." Readers often mistakenly check prices from other exchanges or trading pairs instead of Binance's specific SOL/USDT data.
  • Will Solana reach $180 by December 31, 2026? — the market puts it at 9%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the highest price on any one-minute Binance candle for SOL/USDT reaches $180 between November 24, 2025, and December 31, 2026. It resolves to No if that specific high is never met within the defined window. Readers often mistakenly check prices from other exchanges or different timeframes instead of the designated Binance one-minute candles.
