Analysis

4d ago

This market shows extreme illiquidity and volatility despite modest open interest of $46.4K, with zero 24-hour volume and a punishing 39¢ spread that makes meaningful trading difficult. The 1188% implied yield on the "Yes" side combined with a realized volatility of 2416% and 9.13 vol ratio suggests either severe mispricing or very thin order books reacting to sparse information arrivals (3.0/hour). The price has declined 16% over seven days to 21¢, and with the nomination deadline just 109 days away, the market appears to be pricing Elliott as a significant underdog, though the extreme yield metrics warrant caution about treating this as a reliable probability estimate given the illiquidity constraints.

This market will resolve according to the candidate who wins the nomination for the Republican Party to contest the MI-10 congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections.
