Analysis

15d ago

This illiquid market shows extreme volatility (1456% realized vol) with a massive 65¢ spread and zero 24-hour volume, making the 39¢ price potentially unreliable despite 259 days to expiry. The 220.7% implied yield on "Yes" appears inflated given the extraordinarily high vol ratio of 9.72 and cliff risk index of 2, suggesting either mispricing or severe liquidity constraints rather than genuine conviction that USD/CAD won't touch 1.20. With only $178k open interest and a neutral regime, this market lacks sufficient depth to trust the quoted probability—traders should demand significant liquidity improvement before committing capital.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve to “Yes” if the Investing.com low price (“L”) for any USD/CAD hourly candle for an hour on or before the listed end date (ET) is equal to or below the listed price. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Data for a given candle will be considered finalized once the next candle appears on the specified graph. The last trading day of a given week will be considered finalized once the market closes on that day, typically at 5 PM ET on Friday. This market will resolve as soon as any finalized USD/CAD hourly candle low price is equal to or below the listed price, or once the final hourly candle in the specified period is finalized. A candle starting at 11:00 PM ET on a given date will be considered to be on that date. This market’s resolution will be based solely on information from the “L” figure located at the top of the USD/CAD Streaming Chart on Investing.com for the specified currency pair (https://www.investing.com/currencies/usd-cad-chart).
