REPRICE & EXIT
Profit
WHAT HAPPENS:
1. BTC/ETH/SOL makes a sharp move (>1.5-2% in 1-2 minutes)
2. 15-minute prediction markets take 30-90 seconds to reprice
3. During this window, market price implies an outdated probability
4. The trader buys the side favored by the spot move
5. Exits when market reprices (usually 5-10 minutes)

WHY IT WORKS:
- Market makers on Polymarket are slower than centralized exchanges
- Price feeds have latency
- Most participants aren't watching spot prices in real-time

THE EDGE:
- Faster access to spot price data (Binance WebSocket)
- Quick execution (automated, not manual)
- Pattern recognition for "real" moves vs noise

Edge Source

Information speed advantage — seeing spot price moves before prediction market reprices
