BTC price on Oct 26, 2026 at 5pm EDT?
The market’s 60% Yes price fits Bitcoin sitting just above the line. Recent sub-$80,000 dips, heavy liquidations, and weak momentum justify only a small haircut.
Analysis
Bitcoin is hovering just above the required level, so the market’s Yes price is mostly anchored by current spot trading. That supports a modest Yes lean, but not a strong one.
The bigger signal is fragility: BTC recently fell below $80,000, liquidations were heavy, and momentum remains weak. Because the rule uses a 60-second average, brief recoveries may not be enough if selling resumes.
Arguments
For
- Bitcoin is trading above the threshold heading into resolution.
- There is still time for buyers to stabilize price above $80,000.
Against
- BTC has recently traded below $80,000 multiple times.
- Technical weakness and liquidations suggest continued selling pressure.
Key drivers
- Current price sits barely above the $80,000 cutoff
- Recent weakness and liquidations point to downside risk
Risk factors
- A rebound above $80,000 could hold through the final minute
- The 60-second average can smooth brief dips below the line
Scenarios
Best case
Bitcoin stays above $80,000 into the final 60-second averaging window.
Most likely
Bitcoin remains near the cutoff, making the final average only narrowly positive.
Worst case
Bitcoin revisits the high-$79,000s and the average finishes below $80,000.

Next Prime Minister of Serbia?
AI57%MKT2%Edge+55Hidden GemVučić has a plausible path back to the premiership, but it still depends on the election result, coalition arithmetic, and whether he remains the governing bloc’s chosen nominee. I lean slightly toward Yes because of his institutional advantages and the market’s sustained confidence, but the outcome is still meaningfully uncertain.

AI99%MKT92%Edge+7UndervaluedThe latest reporting says Rodgers already signed with Pittsburgh and is playing for the Steelers, so the Yes case is effectively confirmed. The market is already very high, but the evidence supports nudging it even higher.

Which company has best AI model end of 2026?
AI40%MKT33%Edge+7UndervaluedGoogle has a real current lead on the relevant leaderboard, but the market is correctly discounting the risk that Anthropic or another lab ships a stronger late-year model. I would still lean slightly toward Yes, but only modestly above the current price.
