1 Active Wallets on This Market

The single tracked wallet is positioned exclusively on YES at 31c, signaling a directional bet that the Fed will hike after the October 2026 meeting. Their entry below the current 34c market price implies they see value in the hike scenario and may be early relative to broader pricing. With no NO entries from this wallet, the positioning is unambiguously hawkish on rates.

All YES Positions Are in Profit

With YES trading at 34c, every tracked YES entry from 31c is in profit, while no NO positions show gains. This one-sided profitability creates mild upward pressure as holders have little incentive to sell, though the thin 3c edge offers limited conviction. The absence of profitable NO entries suggests bears have not yet been rewarded at current pricing.
