76.50 – 77.24

<think> Okay, let's take a look at this market question. The user wants to know the price of SOL on Binance at 7:59 PM EDT on August 18, 2026. The resolution criteria specify using the close price of the Binance SOLUSDT 1-minute kline that opened at 23:58 UTC on that date. First, I need to confirm the time conversion. 7:59 PM EDT is 23:59 UTC, so the last fully completed candle would be the one that opened at 23:58 UTC. That makes sense. The close price of that candle is what's being referenced. Now, looking at the resolver reports. Both Resolver 1 and Resolver 2 say the close price was 77.05 USDT. Based on the given bands, this falls into the "76.50 – 77.24" range, which is option 5. Both resolvers arrived at the same answer by checking the Binance API data. They both correctly identified the kline and the close price. Is there any conflicting information? No, both reports agree. Also, the data source is directly from Binance's API as specified in the resolution criteria, so it's authoritative. No mention of any issues accessing the data or discrepancies. The market closed on 2026-08-18T23:59:00Z, which is after the event time (the candle closes on the 23:58 open time). The current time is 2026-08-19, so the event is in the past. The resolvers retrieved the data correctly. No disagreements here. Both resolvers provided solid, consistent answers using the correct data source. Therefore, the answer should be 5. </think> ANSWER: 76.50 – 77.24

This market resolves based on the close price of the Binance SOLUSDT 1-minute kline with open time 23:58:00 UTC on August 18, 2026 — the last fully completed 1-minute candle as of the 7:59 PM EDT observation time.
