All NO Positions Are in Profit

At 14c, YES holders are underwater with 0% in profit, while NO holders at 79c are fully profitable, reinforcing strong downside pressure on the YES price. The absence of profitable YES positions suggests little support for a rally, and the market is likely to stay pinned near current levels or drift lower.
