Can You Predict Bitcoin's Next Move in Just 5 Minutes? It sounds like a high-stakes gamble, but that's exactly what Polymarket is offering with its latest prediction market. Here’s how it works: if Bitcoin’s price at the end of the specified time frame is higher than or equal to its starting price, the market resolves to 'Up.' If not, it’s a 'Down.' But here's where it gets controversial—the outcome isn’t based on just any price feed. It relies exclusively on Chainlink’s BTC/USD data stream, accessible at https://data.chain.link/streams/btc-usd. This means other sources or spot markets don’t count, which could spark debate among traders who swear by different data providers. And this is the part most people miss: live data can be delayed by a few seconds, influenced by activity on other exchanges or broader market conditions. So, while it’s a quick prediction, it’s not without its complexities. Created on February 21, 2026, at 6:11 PM ET, this market is a fascinating test of short-term Bitcoin trends. But here’s the question: Do you trust Chainlink’s data enough to place your bet? Let us know in the comments—are you team 'Up' or team 'Down'? And more importantly, why?
