Analysis

4d ago

This market shows extreme illiquidity with zero 24-hour volume despite $12.3M open interest, suggesting the position is largely static and potentially illiquid at scale. The 90¢ price implies strong Democratic favorability in NJ-03, but the asymmetric implied yields (20.3% for Yes vs. 1643% for No) and elevated Cliff Risk Index of 9 indicate significant tail risk and potential mispricing on the No side. With 200 days to expiration, this market has ample time for political developments, though the tight 1¢ spread and neutral regime suggest current pricing may reflect consensus expectations rather than active discovery.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the NJ-03 congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. The midterm elections will take place on November 4, 2026. ​A candidate's party will be determined by their ballot-listed or otherwise identifiable affiliation with that party at the time all of the 2026 House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. A candidate without a ballot-listed affiliation to either the Democrat or Republican parties will be considered a member of one of these parties based on the party with which they most recently expressed their intent to caucus at the time all of the House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. This market will resolve based on the result of the election as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the United States government, specifically the Federal Election Commission (https://www.fec.gov/).
