Will GBP/USD hit 1.25 (Low) in 2026?

This illiquid market with only $301 open interest and a 31¢ spread shows extreme volatility (2629% realized vol) and a dramatic 7-day price collapse from 57¢ to 42¢, suggesting recent negative sentiment shift toward GBP/USD reaching 1.25. The 159% implied yield on the Yes side appears attractive but is likely compensation for both the thin liquidity and the market's cliff risk index of 1, indicating potential resolution uncertainty or data finalization concerns that could create sharp repricing at expiry in 259 days.
