Bitcoin price on August 6?

Platform comparison

Market context

Bitcoin’s noon ET Binance candle on 6 August is priced by the market as a **0% YES** shot, so the current line is treating a qualifying finish as essentially off the board. That makes the favourite the **No** side by a wide margin, with any value on YES dependent on a sharp intraday move into the relevant Binance range rather than a routine drift.

The historical framing is straightforward: Bitcoin has been trading in the low-to-mid **$60,000s** in recent live and historical snapshots, including roughly **$62,000–$64,000** on several major data pages, while some prediction-market screens show clustered interest around the **$62,000 to $66,000** bands for the same period.[2][4][6][9][11][15] That puts the consensus closer to a range-trading setup than a clean breakout, which matters because a 0% market often reflects the view that the settlement bracket is too precise for the underlying spot to land there by chance. If the noon ET candle is based on a Binance minute close, the market is effectively asking whether BTC can pin a narrow target at a very specific time, not merely whether it can stay broadly firm.

For traders, the key catalysts are the usual intraday macro and crypto-flow drivers: ETF flow headlines, US policy or regulatory comments, and any sudden risk-on/risk-off move in equities can still swing BTC several hundred dollars in minutes. Recent commentary around August has also highlighted a range-bound tape with resistance in the **mid-to-high $60,000s** and support nearer **$60,000–$63,000**, which supports the current underdog bias on YES unless fresh demand forces a clean breakout.[5][16][17][18] The contrarian angle is that a 0% crowd price can become vulnerable if BTC starts the day already pressing the upper end of the prevailing range, because a thin order book near a settlement snapshot can overstate the true chance of landing the bracket.

Is Polymarket legal in the UK?

Polymarket is accessible to UK traders but is not UKGC-licensed. It operates under US CFTC jurisdiction. UK residents face no domestic legal prohibition on using it, but UKGC consumer protections do not apply. For UKGC-regulated alternatives, Betfair Exchange and Smarkets offer similar prediction-style markets.

Do I pay tax on prediction market profits in the UK?

UKGC-licensed platform profits (Betfair, Smarkets) are typically tax-free gambling winnings for UK individuals. Polymarket profits involve USDC crypto transactions, which HMRC treats as Capital Gains Tax events. Keep full transaction records and report via Self Assessment if gains exceed £3,000 per tax year.

How do I deposit on Polymarket from the UK?

UK traders typically fund Polymarket via Coinbase UK, Kraken or Revolut — buying USDC with GBP and transferring to a Polygon-compatible wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet). Polymarket's onboarding walks you through the bridging process. Typical GBP-to-USDC conversion costs 0.5–1%.
