50% of NO Positions Are in Profit

NO side dominates with entries at 87c-96c, though only 50% currently sit in profit given the already-compressed 5c YES price leaves little room for further NO gains. No YES holders are profitable, and the thin 5c price offers negligible support for any recognition scenario. The risk/reward for late NO entrants near 96c is poor, capping remaining downside for the position.
