Full analysis

Oil prediction markets are experiencing their biggest single-day repricing in recent memory. The WTI '$100 by April 2026' contract (0x65414628f108533d68) surged from roughly 38¢ to 62¢ — a 24¢ move on $134K volume. This is now a majority-probability event, meaning the prediction market consensus is that WTI will touch $100 before April 30.

The cascade upward is visible across the WTI ladder: '$105 by April' (0x35d8c42a467d4e485f) jumped 7¢ to 23¢ on $132K volume. '$110 by April' gained 3¢ to 23¢. '$115 by April' (0xeca080635da47c3fb8) gained 3¢ to 14¢. Meanwhile, downside contracts are collapsing: the '$85 by April' support contract (0x0f9ca7dcd30c615e67) crashed 39¢ to 43¢ and '$80 by April' (0x4ea2cd49c462b6eab3) dropped 25¢ to 20¢.

This is fully consistent with traditional markets: USO (oil ETF) is up 3.02%, XLE (energy sector) up 1.2%, and the Strait of Hormuz normalization market at just 5¢. The Brent crude Kalshi market for Apr 24 above $103.99 (KXBRENTW-26APR2417-T) sits at 14¢, suggesting Brent hasn't quite caught up to the WTI move in prediction markets.

The Kalshi WTI daily settle markets also confirm the trend: 'WTI above $90.99 on Apr 24' (KXWTIW-26APR24-T90.9) is at 78¢ with $43K volume. 'WTI above $94.99 on Apr 23' (KXWTI-26APR23-T94.99) at 45¢.

For traders: the $100 strike is now the market consensus. The highest-alpha plays are in the $110-$120 range if you believe the Hormuz disruption deepens further. Watch KXWTIMAX-26DEC31 (WTI max price for full year) at $115 (61¢) and $120 (52¢) for longer-dated exposure.
