Trader sentiment on Polymarket for S&P 500 single-day gains and losses in Q1 hinges on contained volatility amid resilient economic data, with the index posting a peak daily gain of 1.37% on March 13 after cooler-than-expected CPI and a steepest drop of -1.61% on January 17 amid rate hike fears. Market-implied odds cluster around modest extremes under 2%, backed by $X million in open interest reflecting bets on steady Fed path rather than shocks. Key catalysts ahead include the March 20 FOMC dot plot update and April 10 CPI print, where upside surprises could push breaches above 2.5% thresholds, though historical Q1 precedents average 1.8% max swings.

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).
