Analysis
This market shows extreme volatility with realized volatility at 1076% and a vol ratio of 4.13, suggesting significant uncertainty or potential mispricing around Davidson's nomination prospects. The price has collapsed 46% over seven days (from 17¢ to 37¢), indicating a sharp shift in sentiment, though the low 24-hour volume of $98 and modest open interest of $2,310 raise liquidity concerns that may be amplifying price swings. The asymmetric implied yields (310% for Yes vs. 107% for No) combined with a neutral regime score suggest the market is pricing in binary event risk rather than fundamental conviction about Davidson's candidacy.
Resolution rules
If Beth Davidson wins the nomination for the Democratic Party to contest the 2026 NY-17 House seat, then the market resolves to Yes.
