Pronóstico: What price will Bitcoin hit August 3-9?

Platform comparison

Market context

Bitcoin is trading on Polymarket as a basket of bracketed outcomes settled in USDC on Polygon, with conditional tokens paying out according to whether the price tag in the specified window is reached before the market resolves on or around 10 August 2026. Today the contract is pricing the upper bands very tightly, with the leading outcome at 50% and the next nearest also at 50%, while the crowd-implied probability of the separate YES view is 0%, which points to a market still unsure whether this week’s range will extend far enough to trigger the higher strikes.[4]

For context, Bitcoin is entering August after a run of forecasts that cluster around the low- to mid-$60,000s to high-$60,000s for the month, with several recent models and analyst notes flagging resistance near $68,000-$70,000 and support around $59,500-$62,000.[8][13][14][17] That matters because a weekly “hit” market is usually more sensitive than a month-end close: a brief spike on volatile headlines can be enough to settle a higher band, even if spot later mean-reverts. The present pricing therefore reads as a live assessment of whether BTC can trade through the cited resistance zone rather than a clean forecast for where August ends.[1][3][4]

A trader watching this market will be focused on scheduled macro and policy catalysts, including any Fed-driven repricing, ETF flow swings, and the legislative calendar around crypto regulation, because those are the recurring catalysts cited in August watchlists.[8][14] If US spot ETF inflows recover or the market gets a dovish macro surprise, the higher brackets become easier to reach; if flows stay weak and price keeps failing near the mid-$60,000s, the contract is likely to continue trading as a low-probability tail event. The current setup leaves little room for passivity: on a conditional-token market, the first clean move through a strike can matter more than the broader directional call.[4][8]

Methodology

This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote, four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to Polymarket Qué Es, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.

Resolution & payout

Settlement runs on-chain. Polymarket's contract logic separates YES and NO shares as conditional tokens; at resolution the winning share lifts to $1.00 and the losing one to $0. The outcome input comes from the UMA Optimistic Oracle, which secures against bad resolution with a bond + dispute window.

Once finalised, the smart contract pays USDC to the holders' wallets within minutes — no withdrawal fees beyond Polygon network gas. Kalshi settles in USD via CFTC clearance, Betfair in account currency net of commission, Manifold in play-money mana with no cash-out.

FAQ

Is this market available outside the US?

Polymarket itself is geo-blocked in the US/UK/EU. Always check the legal status of prediction markets in your jurisdiction before trading.

What does Polymarket cost to trade?

How reliable are the quoted odds?

The YES/NO percentages are the live mid-prices of the Polymarket order book. On deep markets they move every few seconds; on thinner ones you'll see short plateaus.
