Analysis

4d ago

This market shows extreme mispricing with an 8¢ yes price generating a 1,627% implied yield, yet it's essentially illiquid with zero 24-hour volume and a massive 15¢ spread despite $240k open interest. The 814% risk-adjusted yield and elevated Cliff Risk Index of 12 suggest the market may be pricing in either severe liquidity constraints or tail-risk scenarios rather than fundamental probability, making this a classic example of a low-volume niche market where the quoted price poorly reflects true consensus odds.
