Traders on Robinhood assign a 90% probability to Bitcoin reaching $77,300 by September 12, 2026. The market implies a high confidence in a price increase from current levels.

The most significant data point is the 90% probability assigned to Bitcoin trading at or above $77,300. This figure stands out against lower probabilities for higher price targets. It indicates strong market consensus on a moderate price appreciation over the next year. The data comes from the Robinhood prediction market. This specific contract expires at 12:00 PM EDT on September 12, 2026.

The market structure shows a steep drop-off in probabilities for higher price levels. A target of $77,400 or above carries only a 56% chance. The probability for $77,500 or above falls to 17%. The likelihood of Bitcoin reaching $77,600 or above is just 4%. These numbers suggest traders see limited upside beyond the $77,300 mark. The spread between the 90% and 56% figures highlights a specific price resistance level in the collective view.

Market Mechanics and Resolution Rules

The outcome is determined by CF Benchmarks' Real Time Index. At the final minute before expiration, 60 price points are collected. The final value is the average of these 60 readings. Traders receive $1 for each contract if the price meets or exceeds the target. Payouts typically occur within one hour of resolution. Trading is available 24 hours a day, with a daily break from 3:00 AM to 5:00 AM ET on Thursdays.
