Analysis

4d ago

The market has experienced sharp downward momentum, declining from 21¢ to 15¢ over seven days, suggesting traders are increasingly skeptical of exactly two Fed cuts occurring between January 1, 2026 and December 31, 2026. The 798% implied yield on the Yes side reflects the extreme asymmetry of a 16¢ price with 259 days to expiry, though this is tempered by moderate liquidity ($363.98 in 24h volume) and a modest cliff risk index of 6. The tight 1¢ spread and $160k open interest indicate reasonable depth, but the neutral regime score suggests no clear directional conviction from the broader market.

Resolution rules

If the Fed cuts 2 times starting Jan 1, 2026 and before 2027, then the market resolves to Yes.
