Analysis
The market has experienced significant bearish movement over seven days, declining from 43¢ to 35¢ (current), suggesting reduced conviction in a departure announcement within the 75-day window. The extreme Yes-side implied yield of 1189% combined with minimal 24-hour volume ($0) and low open interest ($906.75) indicates illiquidity and potential mispricing, though the 4¢ spread is reasonable; the high realized volatility of 296% and rapid information arrival rate (0.9/h) suggest this market is sensitive to political developments around Patel's tenure. With a cliff risk index of 2 and neutral regime, traders appear to be pricing in stability, but the outsized yield on the Yes side may reflect tail-risk hedging rather than genuine market consensus.
Resolution rules
If Kash Patel leaves (or announces he will leave) as FBI Director before Jul 1, 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.
