Polymarket traders are closely tracking S&P 500 single-day percentage swings in Q1 2025, where the index has posted a peak gain of 2.02% on March 13 amid dovish Fed signals and a trough loss of -1.68% on February 5 following hotter-than-expected CPI data that tempered rate-cut bets. Heightened volatility, with VIX averaging 16.5, reflects choppy economic releases including robust January nonfarm payrolls (353K jobs added) and softening consumer sentiment, alongside mega-cap tech earnings momentum. Consensus pricing incorporates uncertainty ahead of the March 19 FOMC meeting and April 30 Q1 GDP report, which could catalyze outsized moves if inflation reaccelerates or labor data weakens.

The percentage change in the S&P 500 Index (SPX) on a given trading day will be calculated by comparing the official closing price for the S&P 500 Index (SPX) on that day to the official closing price for the S&P 500 Index (SPX) on the previous trading day, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. The previous day’s closing price will be subtracted from the current day’s closing price, and then that difference will be divided by the previous day’s closing price. If the daily percentage change is negative, it will be considered a loss of that percentage in absolute terms.
Daily percentage changes will be rounded to two decimal places away from zero (e.g. a daily percentage gain of 1.995% would be considered 2.00%, and a daily percentage gain of 1.993% would be considered 1.99%)
If any relevant trading day is shortened (for example, due to a market-holiday schedule), the official closing price published for that shortened session will still be used for resolution.
If no official closing price is published for a relevant trading day (for example, due to a trading halt into the close, system issue, or other disruption), this market will use the most recent official price published by the specified resolution source as the effective closing price.
The resolution source for this market will be the Wall Street Journal, specifically the daily CLOSE prices for the S&P 500 Index (SPX) published on the S&P 500 Index (SPX) historical prices page (https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/index/SPX/historical-prices).
