Analysis
The market has experienced significant downward pressure over seven days, declining from 34¢ to 26¢, suggesting reduced conviction in a near-term departure announcement despite the extremely high 2867% implied yield on the Yes side. The extremely thin liquidity ($691.98 open interest, $107 daily volume) and wide 6¢ spread create substantial execution risk, while the 866% realized volatility indicates this contract has experienced wild price swings that may not reflect fundamental probabilities. With only 45 days to expiration and an info arrival rate of 1.3 events per hour, the market appears to be pricing in a low but non-negligible tail risk of an unexpected announcement, though the recent price trajectory suggests skepticism about such an outcome materializing.
Resolution rules
If Kash Patel leaves (or announces he will leave) as FBI Director before Jun 1, 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.
