Price range markets split one number into brackets: Bitcoin's price on a date (under 72,000, 72,000 to 74,000 and so on), the number of posts an account makes in a week, a film's opening weekend or a video's views. Each bracket is its own yes/no market, and exactly one bracket resolves Yes once the number is known.
The end brackets are open ("under X" and "X or more"), so together the brackets cover every possible value and their Yes prices add up to about 100¢. Each price is the market's chance for that bracket; read side by side they are the market's whole forecast of the number.

The number named in the rules is read from the source and at the time the rules give. The one bracket that contains it resolves Yes and pays $1 a share; every other bracket resolves No.
Exactly one bracket wins, so the chances across all brackets should total 100%. Small differences come from the bid-ask spreads; a total well above or below 100% is worth a look at the order books.
