23% — What will S&P 500 (SPY) hit in May 2026?: ↑ $750
Leader: ↑ $760 at 23% · Polymarket 23% · 2 contracts · $24K volume · medium confidence
Updated 2026-05-28 20:02:11 UTC

Tracks the leading outcome in a winner-take-all prediction market set with 2 outcomes.

Why this matters:
This probability reflects market expectations that SPY will close below $730 by May 31, 2026. Markets are currently pricing in a roughly 27% chance that SPY closes at or above $750, with the remainder split between lower price levels. The dominant $730-or-lower outcome suggests traders expect modest downside or consolidation from current levels, though the 46-cent bid on the $750+ contract indicates meaningful support for a continued rally. Key drivers include macroeconomic data releases, Federal Reserve communications, and corporate earnings reports throughout May, with the month-end close on May 29, 2026 ultimately determining the resolution. Volatility and positioning ahead of that date will likely shift probabilities significantly based on inflation reports, employment figures, and Fed guidance.

Key factors:
- SPY's current price relative to $730 threshold—traders must assess whether present levels indicate upside or downside momentum into month-end
- 24-hour volume concentration ($16.3K on the $750+ contract) suggests active disagreement about upside scenarios, indicating price discovery is ongoing
- The $730 contract trades at 73¢ versus nearby strikes at 46-47¢, showing a narrow range clustered around current support-resistance levels rather than wide dispersion
- May data calendar includes CPI release and PCE reports that historically move equities; absence of FOMC meetings in May reduces one source of potential volatility
- Distribution across nine outcomes without a clear second leader (47% runner-up) indicates uncertainty is genuine rather than consensus-driven

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.

## SF Signal

- SF Index, regime, and 30d Brier calibration are computed separately and surfaced at https://simplefunctions.dev/admin/calibration.
- No SimpleFunctions index / regime / calibration signal is bound to this topic yet — the headline above is market-derived only.
