“Will Biden trip on a staircase again this week?” is a prediction market on Polymarket with two tradeable outcomes, Yes and No. The Yes price is the crowd's implied probability that the question resolves Yes; every trade on the public order book moves it.
The venue reports this market as closed. Its scheduled close is Feb 25, 2024. No resolved outcome is inferred from a closed or suspended state.

Each figure carries its observation time; nothing here is a return forecast.

On February 20 new footage was released showing President Biden tripping on stairs leading up to Air Force One, causing another round of speculation on the 81 year old's vitality. This market will resolve to "Yes" if Biden is recorded tripping on a staircase again by 11:59 PM ET, Sunday, February 25, 2024. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". If no such footage is released by the end date, this market will immediately resolve to "No." Photographs or announcements will not be considered toward this market's resolution. Only recorded video of Biden tripping on a staircase will be sufficient to trigger a "Yes" resolution. The video must be original and not manipulated or digitally altered to mislead the viewer. Edited videos, deepfakes, or any form of manipulated media will not be considered valid for the resolution of this market. The primary resolution source for this market will be the video(s) in question, verified by a consensus of credible reporting and/or Biden and his representatives.

The Yes price read as a chance. A share at 21.5¢ means the crowd gives Yes about a 21.5% chance right now. It moves with every trade, so it is a live forecast, not a verdict.
Dollar value of shares that changed hands in the last 24 hours. High volume means the price is being tested by real money; low volume means a few trades can move it.
Dollars resting in the order book, waiting to be traded against. Deep liquidity lets a large order fill near the quoted price; thin liquidity means the price jumps when someone trades size.
The gap between the best bid and the best ask. A tight spread makes entry and exit cheap; a wide spread is a cost paid on every round trip.
The wallets holding the most shares on each side, and how much of the loaded sample the largest ten control. Concentration shows whether a market is a crowd or a handful of large positions.
The public fills, newest first: which wallet bought or sold which outcome, at what price, and when. It is the market's own diary, and every wallet on it links to a trader profile.
Hourly closes of the Yes price. The range shows how sure or split the crowd has been; the move shows which way it has been changing its mind.
Trading stops at the close time. The outcome is then settled by the resolution source named in the rules. A closed market is not resolved until the venue reports it, so the two states are shown separately.
