2026-03-29 to 2026-04-04, Andrei Vasilevskiy's price skyrocketed from 18c to 66c, while Ilya Sorokin's plummeted from 72c to 40c. The reason is a critical late-season performance gap; Vasilevskiy likely posted decisive shutouts or win streaks, whereas Sorokin may have faltered, causing a fundamental shift in voter narrative. 2026-03-14 to 2026-03-20, the market entered a period of high stability. Prices for Andrei Vasilevskiy (~52c) and Ilya Sorokin (~45c) saw only negligible fluctuations (less than 2c), indicating a strong consensus on the current two-horse race. 2026-03-01 to 2026-03-02, a major correction occurred: Andrei Vasilevskiy plummeted from 63c to 50c, Ilya Sorokin surged from 27c to 40c, and rookie Jesper Wallstedt crashed from a bubble high of 20c to 6c. This was caused by the market bursting the irrational speculation around Wallstedt and recognizing Sorokin was significantly undervalued, reallocating capital to the two actual frontrunners.

While the core rule relies on official stats, the tie-breaker rule is highly arbitrary (alphabetical order of last name). This is a classic 'alphabetical trap' completely detached from sporting merit. If two players tie on yellow cards, the one with the alphabetically earlier surname wins, posing a significant risk to unaware traders.

This falls into the upper-medium tier of niche markets. Compared to 'who will win' or 'top scorer', betting on 'most yellow cards' is a relatively obscure and speculative statistic. Such markets typically appeal only to deep sports bettors or data analysts, not the general public.

The market exhibits a severe structural divergence and irrational bubble. Standard sports modeling and statistics would never assign a >40% probability to 7 different players to be the sole leader in yellow cards, as it violates basic probability for mutually exclusive events. This divergence stems from a lack of liquidity and arbitrage capital on the platform rather than reflecting actual real-world sporting expectations.

April 3, 2026 - April 4, 2026, Paxton 9%+ price surged from 22.2c to 33c, likely due to recent polling or key endorsements further solidifying his substantial lead. March 14, 2026 - March 15, 2026, Cornyn 3–6% price plummeted from 32c to 21c due to a major market efficiency correction. Previously, the market sum exceeded 300% (broken pricing); this correction eliminated the massive bubble, bringing the total sum closer to a logical 100%. Other options, such as Paxton 6–9%, corrected upward from 6.5c to 13c during the same period.

This event directly tracks GOOGL stock volatility. Since Google typically releases Q1 earnings in late April, this serves as a classic earnings season hedging instrument (Score 3). It also carries minor weight impact on the Nasdaq 100 index.

April 7, 2026 - April 10, 2026, the price of ↑ $335 surged from 13.5c to 47c, while ↓ $280 plummeted from 43c to 20c. This was driven by a strong bullish wave in GOOGL's stock price in early April due to robust fundamentals or macro tailwinds, causing the market to aggressively correct prior pessimistic expectations. March 20, 2026 - March 26, 2026, the price of ↓ $240 surged from 14.5c to 49.5c due to extreme market volatility or systematic pricing anomalies, causing a spike in bearish sentiment in this range. March 20, 2026 - March 26, 2026, the price of ↓ $290 soared from 65c to 82.5c, further reflecting extreme short-term pessimism regarding downside price movement or market structure failure. March 20, 2026 - March 26, 2026, the price of ↑ $355 skyrocketed from 24.5c to 47c. This simultaneous surge alongside bearish options indicates severe mispricing and blind speculative trading in the market.

A presidential impeachment is a major political risk event that typically triggers market volatility. The most directly impacted asset is Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT), which trades as a proxy for his political fortunes; an impeachment vote could cause an extreme crash in its stock price (Score 5). For the broader market (S&P 500), the political uncertainty is generally bearish, but the impact would likely be a medium-level fluctuation (Score 3) unless conviction seems probable. The Dollar and Gold might see minor reactions as safe-haven plays.

April 16, 2026 - April 17, 2026: The price of the 34°C option plummeted from 50c to around 11c, while the 32°C option climbed from 20c to 35c, and the 33°C option rose from 20c to 33c. The reason is that as the date approaches, weather forecast models have become more precise for the maximum temperature on the 18th, ruling out the likelihood of an extreme 34°C high and converging expectations toward the typical 32-33°C range.

There is a significant potential rule conflict. The rule text explicitly states resolution to 'Yes' if the price is 'equal to or above' the listed price, which fits the '↑' (up) options. However, the options list includes '↓' (down) options, which typically imply 'equal to or below'. If the provided rule text applies globally, the logic for the '↓' options is flawed. Additionally, the data source may default to GBP, requiring a manual toggle to USD.

This market involves forecasting the price index of an alternative asset (luxury watches). While Audemars Piguet is a well-known brand, trading on an index constructed from its secondary market prices represents a relatively niche financial segment (Alternative Assets).

April 13, 2026 - April 16, 2026, the price of '↓ $40,750' plummeted from 35c to 7.35c, and '↑ $41,500' dropped from 21.5c to 6.5c. The reason is that as the expiration date nears, the latest market index data narrowed the plausible price range, significantly lowering the probability of hitting these specific thresholds. March 28, 2026 - March 31, 2026, the price of '↑ $41,750' plummeted from 57c to 35c, '↑ $41,500' plummeted from 65c to 37c, '↓ $41,000' dropped from 52.5c to 36.5c, and '↓ $40,750' dropped from 40c to 29.5c. The reason is that the market's expectation for the volatility of the AP watch price index changed over time, lowering the probability of hitting higher or lower targets. March 14, 2026 - March 17, 2026, prices for all options remained flat at 50 cents with no significant movement. This indicates an inactive or initialized market that has not yet reacted to the latest Subdial index data.

Specific options in this market correlate strongly with major public companies. The passage of the 'SELF DRIVE Act' would be a significant regulatory tailwind for Tesla (TSLA) and Waymo (GOOGL), potentially moving stocks. 'AI-chip export licensing' and chip security bills directly impact revenue projections for semiconductor firms like Nvidia (NVDA). 'Credit-card routing competition' affects Visa (V) and Mastercard. Critical minerals legislation relates to MP Materials (MP). While single bills are usually medium-impact events, they offer clear hedging value for specific sectors.

April 12, 2026 - April 14, 2026, the price of 'Housing for the 21st Century Act' dropped from 81.5c to 68c, likely due to fading market sentiment as the Senate had not immediately acted. April 11, 2026 - April 14, 2026, the price of 'Credit-card routing competition' surged from 36c to 50c as expectations of its advancement in the Senate strengthened. March 29, 2026 - March 30, 2026, the price of 'Credit-card routing competition' surged from 28.5c to 49c as the market reassessed its Senate prospects following strong executive branch endorsements. March 29, 2026 - March 30, 2026, the price of '$2.50 Coin' spiked from 31c to 48.5c, likely due to positive signals regarding Senate scheduling, correcting the oversold sentiment of the previous days. March 29, 2026 - March 30, 2026, the price of 'Critical-minerals stockpile' jumped from 34c to 50c, driven by renewed congressional focus on supply chain security. March 29, 2026 - March 30, 2026, the price of 'Film/TV production expensing' surged from 36.5c to 49.5c amid growing expectations of its inclusion in a broader year-end tax package. March 13, 2026 - March 15, 2026, the price of 'Housing for the 21st Century Act' dropped from 67c to 57c, likely due to fading market sentiment as the Senate had not immediately acted following the House's passage. March 11, 2026 - March 15, 2026, the price of 'Data center utility cost protection' surged from 21c to 48c, driven by the introduction of a bipartisan Senate companion bill by Hawley and Blumenthal and growing congressional scrutiny on utility costs. March 10, 2026 - March 11, 2026, the price of 'Credit-card routing competition' spiked from 44.5c to 58c, following the bill's reintroduction and a strong endorsement from President Trump on social media.

The market prices the reauthorization of FISA Section 702 extremely low (26.5%), which significantly diverges from mainstream political and national security expert expectations. The consensus is that FISA 702 is a critical intelligence tool, and Congress is highly likely to pass a compromise bill before the deadline to prevent its expiration. The market's undervaluation likely stems from an overreaction to procedural hurdles it faces in the House.

Significant divergence exists. Mainstream military maps (e.g., DeepStateMap or historical ISW data) show that Russian forces have controlled this area for a long time. However, the Yes option on Polymarket is still priced at 40c. This is likely due to some traders being unfamiliar with the specific geographic history or failing to carefully read the fine print requiring a 'new capture' after market creation.

There is a significant divergence between market prices and polling data. According to early PPP polling, Cindy Holscher holds a substantial lead (33% to 9%), yet the prediction market assigns Ethan Corson a nearly 70% probability of winning. This divergence stems primarily from the market's heavy reliance on the incumbent governor's endorsement and establishment backing, which has led to a severe underestimation of early voter preferences.

April 8, 2026 - April 9, 2026: The Yes price for option '14' surged from 34c to 46.5c, and the Yes price for '≤11' surged from 7.25c to 17.85c, while the Yes price for '12' plummeted from 28.5c to 15.45c. This reflects a significant adjustment in market expectations for the remaining launch schedule in April, likely due to updated manifests or weather forecasts, making 14 launches much more probable and 12 launches much less likely. April 5, 2026 - April 6, 2026: The Yes price for option '16' crashed from 26.25c to 6.25c, and the Yes price for '17 or more' dropped from 13.1c to 3.8c. The reason is that as the first week of April concluded, the likelihood of achieving an extremely high launch cadence (16 or more) significantly decreased due to early progress not meeting expectations or schedule adjustments.

This event is directly linked to the capitalization process of two AI giants. An OpenAI IPO directly impacts the valuation logic of its biggest backer, Microsoft (MSFT), while an Anthropic IPO directly affects its key investors, Amazon (AMZN) and Google (GOOGL). An IPO announcement from either would be seen as a major catalyst for the entire AI sector and the Nasdaq 100, potentially triggering significant market movement.

April 16, 2026 - April 17, 2026, the price of the 95+ option surged from 23.5c to 57c, driven by final pre-election polls or major news that drastically boosted expectations of a landslide victory, causing capital to flood into the highest bracket. April 16, 2026 - April 17, 2026, the price of the 85-89 option plummeted from 26.5c to 7.75c, as capital was heavily sold off from this former consensus bracket amid skyrocketing expectations for 95+ seats. April 15, 2026 - April 16, 2026, the price of the 95+ option surged from 21.5c to 38.5c, driven by late-stage polls or campaign momentum indicating a potential landslide victory for the coalition, attracting significant capital inflows. April 15, 2026 - April 16, 2026, the price of the 75-79 option plummeted from 7.8c to 1.35c, as the market largely ruled out the possibility of an underperformance amid rising expectations for higher seat counts. April 14, 2026 - April 14, 2026, the price of the 90-94 option plummeted from 29.5c to 17c, as market capital shifted to other more attractive options, leading to a rapid cooling of expectations for this bracket. April 14, 2026 - April 14, 2026, the price of the 95+ option surged from 8c to 27c, likely due to breaking news or leaked internal polls highly favorable to the coalition, reigniting market expectations of an overwhelming advantage of over 95 seats. April 11, 2026 - April 14, 2026, the price of the 95+ option steadily dropped from 20.5c to 10.5c, as the market digested the latest polls closer to the election, confirming the extremely low probability of the coalition winning more than 95 seats. April 11, 2026 - April 13, 2026, the price of the 80-84 option climbed rapidly from 11.5c to a peak of 23c before fluctuating to 20.5c, driven by some investors hedging against the risk of lower voter turnout impacting seat counts. April 11, 2026 - April 13, 2026, the price of the 90-94 option fluctuated significantly from 22.5c to a peak of 35.5c before settling at 30c. This was due to the final pre-election polls showing the party's support stabilizing in a strong range but falling short of an absolute landslide. April 9, 2026 - April 11, 2026, the price of the 85-89 option surged from 18.5c to 27c, absorbing the capital outflow from the extremely high seat expectations and becoming the new consensus center.

There is moderate rule risk. The primary risk is procedural delay; Canadian court cases (especially sexual assault charges) can be lengthy. If the case does not reach a final judgment by Dec 31, 2026 (due to scheduling backlogs or ongoing trial), the market resolves to 'No'. Additionally, the rule specifies conviction of the 'currently charged' offense; if a plea deal is reached for a lesser charge instead of the original one, the market would likely resolve to 'No'.

This is a highly specific and niche 'novelty' market. It focuses on the criminal outcome of a specific individual rather than a broad political or economic event. Unless the individual is a major public figure or the case has viral social significance, it represents a long-tail topic with high exoticism.
