Crypto Price Probability Calculator

Free · runs in your browser · no signup · implied volatility updated twice a day

Under a simple volatility model, the chance that a coin ends above a price depends on how far away that price is, how many days are left and how volatile the coin is. With Bitcoin at about $84,500 (the middle of Polymarket's next daily price ladder) and 41% annual volatility, the model gives about 17% odds of it ending above $89,000 in 7 days. Polymarket's daily Bitcoin ladder for September 25 currently implies about 41% annualised volatility (from its 50% price range), which the calculator uses as the default.

How it works

The model assumes the log of the price moves randomly with the volatility you enter and no trend. The chance of ending above a target is N(d₂), with d₂ = (ln(price / target) − σ²t / 2) / (σ√t), where σ is annual volatility and t the time in years; a range is the difference of two such chances.

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate the probability that Bitcoin ends above a price?

With a volatility model: work out how many standard deviations the target is from today's price over the time left, then read the chance off the normal curve. The calculator does this with a zero-drift lognormal model.

What volatility should I use?

The calculator starts from the volatility implied by Polymarket's own daily Bitcoin ladder, refreshed twice a day. You can also use an options-implied or historical figure; higher volatility spreads the outcomes wider.

Why can Polymarket's odds differ from the model?

Traders know about scheduled events, flows and jump risk that a simple model ignores, and prices also carry fees and the bid-ask spread. A gap between the two is a question, not automatically an opportunity.
