What would change this read
While the current price action is strong, the KXBTC settlement outcome is not guaranteed. The 60-second simple average of Bitcoin prices at the exact time of settlement is exactly 74,705.43 USD, meaning any sudden volatility or a sharp drop in the minutes leading up to the close could alter the final result.
