Bitcoin (BTC) closing price on 14 August, 2026?

$62,940 to under $63,080

<think> Okay, let's take a look at this market question. The user is asking for the Bitcoin closing price on August 14, 2026, based on CoinGecko's data. The market closed on August 14 at 23:59 UTC, and the current time is August 15 at 08:09 UTC. First, I need to check the resolution criteria. The closing price is defined as the Close value on CoinGecko's historical data page for 2026-08-14, which is the price at 00:00 UTC on August 15. The options are specific price bands, and the correct one depends on that Close figure. Resolver 1 says the price was $62,996.40 and falls into band 1. Resolver 2 mentions $62,984 and also points to band 1. Wait, both resolvers are coming to the same conclusion, option 1, but their exact figures differ: one has $62,996.40, the other $62,984. But the resolution criteria explicitly state to use CoinGecko's published Close figure exactly as they display it. The question is: Are both resolvers referencing the same source, or did they get different data? Since CoinGecko's data is the only source, but the resolvers have different numbers, that's a problem. Wait, Resolver 1 says "CoinGecko's aggregate snapshot at 00:00 UTC on 2026-08-15 shows Bitcoin's price at $62,996.40". But the resolution criteria specify the historical data page's Close column for the date 2026-08-14. The Close is at the end of the UTC day, which is 00:00 UTC on the next day. So, that's the correct method. Resolver 2 says the Close is $62,984. If CoinGecko's historical data page for the date 2026-08-14 shows Close as $62,984, then that's the correct value. But Resolver 1 is quoting a different number. Why the discrepancy? Possibly, Resolver 1 might be looking at a real-time snapshot at the exact time, while Resolver 2 is referring to the historical data's Close column. The resolution criteria specify using the historical data's Close, so the latter is accurate. But wait, both resolvers might have errors. CoinGecko's historical data is structured with Date as 2026-08-14, and Close is the price at the end of that day (00:00 UTC on 15th). If Resolver 2 got $62,984, and Resolver 1 got $62,996.40, which one is the actual value in the historical table? Since the resolvers both claim to have used CoinGecko, but report different numbers, but the resolution criteria require using the Close figure exactly as CoinGecko displays it, maybe there's a mistake in the resolvers. However, both resolvers independently arrived at option 1, which is "$62,940 to under $63,080". Wait, let's check the numbers. The price in Resolver 1 is $62,996.40, which is between 62,940 and 63,080, so that's correct for option 1. Resolver 2's $62,984 also falls into the same range. So regardless of the exact number, both prices fall into option 1. Therefore, even if the two resolvers have slightly different figures, the answer is still the same. Therefore, the correct answer is 1. Both resolvers agree, so we can confidently choose option 1. </think> ANSWER: $62,940 to under $63,080

Resolution criteria: - "$63,080 or above": Wins if the closing price is greater than or equal to $63,080. - "$62,940 to under $63,080": Wins if the closing price is greater than or equal to $62,940 and less than $63,080. - "$62,820 to under $62,940": Wins if the closing price is greater than or equal to $62,820 and less than $62,940. - "$62,700 to under $62,820": Wins if the closing price is greater than or equal to $62,700 and less than $62,820. - "$62,540 to under $62,700": Wins if the closing price is greater than or equal to $62,540 and less than $62,700. - "Under $62,540": Wins if the closing price is less than $62,540. Clarifications: - "Closing price" means the value in the Close column of the row for 2026-08-14 on CoinGecko's Bitcoin historical data page, which is Bitcoin's US dollar price at the end of that UTC day, 00:00 UTC on 2026-08-15. - Every band includes its lower bound and excludes its upper bound, and the six bands are contiguous, so exactly one of them contains the closing price. - Use that Close figure exactly as CoinGecko displays it, at whatever precision the page shows. Do not round it, convert it or re-derive it from other data. - CoinGecko's published figure governs. It is a volume-weighted average across venues, so a price from a single exchange pair, a perpetual futures contract or another index may differ and could sit in a different band.
