Analysis
This market shows extreme mispricing with a 20¢ price implying only 20% probability despite an astronomical 9,975% implied yield on the Yes side, suggesting severe undervaluation relative to the risk-reward profile. The market has doubled in price over 7 days (11¢ to 22¢) on just $47.7k in 24h volume with $3.46M open interest, indicating thin liquidity and potential for sharp moves as the April 30 resolution date approaches in just 13 days. The 685% realized volatility and cliff risk index of 4 signal this is a highly unstable market where the GDP Advance Estimate release could trigger significant repricing, particularly given the narrow 1.0-1.5% target band leaves little room for error.
Resolution rules
This market will resolve according to the seasonally adjusted and annualized GDP "Advance Estimate" release for Q1 of 2026, scheduled for April 30, 2026. If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher range bracket. The GDP release will be made available here: https://www.bea.gov/data/gdp/gross-domestic-product Note: data in the first available GDP report is labelled by the BEA as an "Advance Estimate". The data found in the advance estimate will be used to resolve this market. Data may be revised during the following quarter or as a part of the next estimate's publication, however any revisions to GDP report data made after the release of the advance estimate will not be considered for this market's resolution. If the advance estimate is not released, this market will resolve based on the first officially published figure for real GDP for the specified quarter (e.g., the ‘second’ or ‘third’ estimate, etc.), as reported by the BEA. If no official estimate is released by the date the next quarter's advanced estimate is scheduled to be published, this market will resolve based on the most recent previous figure released by the BEA.
