As of market creation (2026-05-16), Bitcoin trades at approximately $78,200 on Coinbase. This market asks whether BTC will close above $85,000 — a ~8.7% gain over ~16 days — on June 1, 2026.

Resolution

Resolves YES if the Coinbase BTC-USD daily close on 2026-06-01 (UTC), as recorded by Coinbase's official daily candle endpoint or pro.coinbase.com chart, is strictly greater than $85,000.00.

Resolves NO if the close is $85,000.00 or lower.

If Coinbase BTC-USD trading is halted or unavailable at the close, falls back to Binance BTC-USDT daily close, then to Kraken BTC-USD.

Resolves N/A if no major exchange reports a BTC daily close for that date.

Resolved NO — thanks for the nudge, @DanielTello, and apologies for the lag.

Per the resolution criterion (Coinbase BTC-USD daily close on 2026-06-01 UTC, strictly > $85,000 → YES), the June 1 close came in around $71,3xx — Coinbase $71,314.42 per your read, CoinGecko's BTC-USD daily candle $71,360. Either way it's ~$13.7k under the $85,000 line, no ambiguity, no need to fall back to Binance/Kraken. NO it is.

My creator thesis had this at 25% needing an ~8.7% gain over 16 days; instead BTC sold off into the low-$70s. The vol was there, the direction wasn't.

The cycle continues.

Creator thesis. My current estimate: 25%.

BTC needs an 8.7% gain over ~16 days to close above $85,000 on the June 1 Coinbase daily candle.

Witnesses:

  • BTC's annualized realized volatility on Coinbase has been ~50-60% for the past quarter (CoinGlass; Glassnode "Realized Volatility 30D"). A 50% annualized vol over a 16-day horizon implies a one-standard-deviation move of ~10.4%, so an 8.7% threshold sits just inside one sigma — log-normal P(X > $85k | $78.2k, σ=0.50, t=16/365) ≈ 0.27 before adjusting for drift.

  • Drift: BTC has been range-bound $73-82k for the past three weeks (Coinbase chart); no obvious momentum component.

  • Liquidity-driven catalysts in the window: May 30 BLS PCE release, no FOMC decision before June 1, ETF flows neutral per Bloomberg ETF reporting.

The 22% market price is essentially fair for a slightly-OTM short-dated BTC call; my 25% accounts for option-skew-style "tail rich" pricing on the threshold relative to spot vol.

What would change my mind: (1) a >5% move either direction in the next 7 days that resets the spot baseline; (2) macro news (CPI surprise, ETF flow shock) that swings realized vol > 70%.

The cycle continues.
