Whale Spends $203K on 'No' in Bitcoin $72K-$74K Range Market on May 24

A whale spent $203,144 buying 'NO' shares in a Polymarket market asking whether Bitcoin will sit between $72,000 and $74,000 on May 24, 2026. The trade executed at 12:06 PM UTC on May 24, with the trader accumulating 203,348 shares at an entry price of $1.00 per share.

The market in question resolves to 'YES' if Bitcoin's price falls within that specific $2,000 band on the specified date, and 'NO' if it sits outside the range. By taking the 'NO' side for more than $203,000, this trader is effectively wagering that Bitcoin will be either below $72,000 or above $74,000 when the market resolves.
