4 Market Makers Providing Liquidity

Tracked wallets show dominant NO positioning, with entries spanning 66c-82c that signal conviction against a 25bp hike after October 2026. The absence of profitable YES entries and the 30c market price versus 39c YES cost basis indicate smart money has consistently faded hike odds. This positioning implies the market views a post-October 2026 hike as unlikely, with NO holders controlling the narrative.

50% of NO Positions Are in Profit

All YES positions are underwater with entries at 39c against a current 30c mark, while half of NO entries (66c-82c) are in profit as the market trades below their cost basis. The profitable NO cohort anchors the bearish side, and their willingness to hold through a 30c print suggests resistance to any near-term YES rally. With zero YES holders in profit, upside is capped by trapped longs likely to sell into strength.
