Will the gold close price be above 4395.99 USD/t.oz on August 21, 2026 at 5:00 PM EDT?

How this settles

Resolves YES if the close price of the 1-minute candlestick for gold at 5:00 PM EDT on the settlement date, as observed on the unnamed platform's chart, is strictly above the threshold of USD/t.oz.

• Strictly above threshold — exact hit resolves NO — The rule uses 'above', not 'at or above', so a close price exactly equal to the threshold resolves NO, not YES.
• 1-minute candle close, not the spot mid or daily close — Resolution uses only the closing price of the single 1-minute candlestick at 5:00 PM EDT, which can differ meaningfully from the broader spot or daily settlement price traders may be watching.
• Data source and feed unspecified — No exchange, broker feed, or data vendor is named, leaving ambiguity about which gold price print is authoritative if feeds diverge at that precise minute.
• EDT timezone — shifts with daylight saving changes — The 5:00 PM EDT window is fixed to Eastern Daylight Time; traders in other timezones or monitoring UTC feeds must convert carefully to avoid monitoring the wrong candle.

These are the rules for the whole series — every contract in it settles the same way. Full KXGOLDW settlement rules →
