Analysis

5d ago

This market shows extreme illiquidity with zero 24-hour volume despite $8.8M open interest, suggesting the position is largely illiquid and potentially trapped. The 738% implied yield on the "Yes" side is extraordinarily high—typical of thin, low-probability markets—but the 3¢ spread and flat 7-day price action indicate minimal conviction or recent trading activity. With 260 days to expiry and moderate cliff risk (5/10), this appears to be a speculative long-shot bet that October will outperform all other months in 2026, priced at just 16% probability, though the lack of volume raises questions about whether this price reflects true market consensus or simply stale liquidity.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve to the calendar month in 2026 during which Bitcoin has the highest percentage change. The “Change” value shown for each monthly candle will be used. A monthly candle is considered finalized once the following month’s candle is published. The resolution source is Binance, using the BTC/USDT trading pair: https://www.binance.com/en/trade/BTC_USDT If two or more months are tied for the highest percentage change, this market will resolve to the earliest month chronologically. Only Binance BTC/USDT data will be used. Prices from other exchanges, trading pairs, or data sources will not be considered. If it becomes impossible for a given month to have the highest percentage change in 2026, that outcome may resolve to “No” immediately.
