Analysis

4d ago

Oh Se-hoon's odds have declined sharply from 10¢ to 8¢ over the past week, suggesting deteriorating market confidence in his candidacy despite the extremely high 8936% implied yield on YES positions. The market shows modest liquidity with $38.5K open interest and a tight 1¢ spread, but the massive yield asymmetry (8936% vs 67.6%) indicates traders view this as a long-shot bet with substantial tail risk rather than a genuine competitive race. With 47 days until resolution and a cliff risk index of 12, this appears to be a speculative position rather than a balanced probability assessment of the actual election dynamics.
