April 8, 2026 - April 10, 2026, Scott Wiener's price plunged from 60.5c to 47c (before slightly rebounding to 51.5c), while Saikat Chakrabarti surged from 30.5c to 40c, and Connie Chan collapsed from 7.8c to 2.2c. The reason is the total collapse of Chan's campaign viability, leading to a rapid and comprehensive consolidation of progressive voters behind Chakrabarti. This ends the vote-splitting dynamic and poses a direct, formidable challenge to Wiener.
March 24, 2026 - March 27, 2026, Scott Wiener's price rebounded significantly from 50c to 63c, while Connie Chan's price fell from 21.45c to 12.75c. The reason is that as the primary approaches, the market reassessed the impact of the progressive vote split, reaffirming Wiener's frontrunner status as the consolidated moderate candidate.
March 14, 2026 - March 21, 2026, Connie Chan's price surged steadily from 3.5c to 16c, while Saikat Chakrabarti experienced significant volatility (dropping to 17.75c on March 16 before recovering to ~25c). The reason is a reversal in the progressive narrative: while the market previously considered Chan dead, recent data suggests a resurgence in her campaign or endorsements. This has shaken the confidence of capital betting on Chakrabarti as the 'sole progressive,' reintroducing fears of a vote split.
March 5, 2026 - March 12, 2026, Saikat Chakrabarti's price climbed from 14c to 26.6c, while Connie Chan's price crashed from 25c to 8c between March 6 and March 7. The reason was the market realizing Chan was no longer competitive, causing capital to shift rapidly to Chakrabarti as the primary progressive alternative.
