The rules, in plain English

This market resolves to Yes if any 1-minute candle for the S&P 500 index shows a low price at or below $7,000 between market creation and the final day of trading in December 2026. Otherwise it resolves to No. Only prices during regular trading hours of the primary exchange, as shown in Yahoo Finance's 1-minute interval data, count. Periods when the market is officially closed (holidays or maintenance breaks) do not count. All times are local to the primary exchange where the index trades. The resolution source is Yahoo Finance's 1-minute chart data for S&P 500 (SPX). If Yahoo Finance data is unavailable at market close on the final trading day of December 2026, Wall Street Journal Markets, Google Finance, and Market Watch will be used in that order. If no source has data by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, the market resolves based on available data at that time.
