# Early Resolution

Some markets can resolve **before** their normal close time. This is only for specific market types where the answer becomes certain early.

## Which markets can resolve early

Markets created with `allowEarlyResolve = true` — typically **price-touch** markets. For example, "ETH reaches $3000 before December" is settled the moment ETH touches $3000, not at the end of December.

## How it works

1. The market is created with `allowEarlyResolve` enabled.
2. The resolver service monitors the resolution source.
3. The moment the condition is met, the resolver calls `resolve` — even while the market is still technically OPEN.
4. The market transitions straight to RESOLVED.

## The No side

If the condition is never met by `endTime`, the market resolves to "No".

{% hint style="info" %}
Early resolution means traders do not have to wait for a long deadline when the answer is already known — it settles as soon as truth is available.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.decider.market/documentation/resolution-and-data/early-resolution.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
