Will Gold (XAUUSD) hit (HIGH) $5,100 in April?
Prediction markets currently give a 9% probability that Will Gold (XAUUSD) hit (HIGH) $5,100 in April?. This contract trades at 9¢ on Polymarket, closing May 1, 2026. This market shows extreme mispricing with a 20¢ price implying only 20% probability for gold to touch $5,100 in a full month, yet the Yes yield of 11,136% signals severe undervaluation given gold's current proximity to that level and historical volatility of 701%.
Analysis
This market shows extreme mispricing with a 20¢ price implying only 20% probability for gold to touch $5,100 in a full month, yet the Yes yield of 11,136% signals severe undervaluation given gold's current proximity to that level and historical volatility of 701%. The sharp 7-day decline from 29¢ to 19¢ appears driven by low liquidity ($18.84 daily volume) and a wide 4¢ spread rather than fundamental repricing, suggesting potential arbitrage opportunity if gold remains near current levels. With 14 days until expiry and a neutral regime, the cliff risk index of 4 indicates moderate tail risk, but the asymmetric payoff structure favors contrarian buyers at these depressed odds.
Resolution rules
This market will resolve to "Yes" if, at any point during April 2026, any 1-minute candle for Gold (XAUUSD) has a final "High" price equal to or above the listed price. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Only prices achieved during the applicable trading session as listed on Pyth will be considered. Under the standard schedule, trading is open from 6:00:00 PM ET Sunday through 5:00:00 PM ET Friday, with a daily break from 5:00:00 PM ET to 6:00:00 PM ET, except where modified by holiday or special-session hours as listed on Pyth. Prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding. If Gold (XAUUSD) does not trade at all during the listed time frame, this market will resolve to "No". In the event of a contract specification change, feed change, or similar structural modification affecting the market during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth. The resolution source for this market is Pyth — specifically, the Gold (XAUUSD) "High" prices available at https://pythdata.app/explore/Metal.XAU%2FUSD, with the chart settings configured for 1-minute candles. Historical 1-minute candles may be accessed by appending a Unix timestamp (seconds) to the Pyth chart URL using the "t=" parameter. If the relevant Pyth data is unavailable due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption that prevents verification of the required 1-minute candle data, the official daily high price published for the relevant CME COMEX futures contract for the underlying metal—COMEX Gold Futures (GC)—may be used to determine whether the listed price was reached during the applicable trading session.
