Whale Watch (24h Summary)
How we label whale activity:
🟡 Elevated: One unusually large order for that market (we flag it when the order size is well above that market’s recent average). Could be a one-off; worth noting but not necessarily coordinated.
đźź Strong / “signal cluster”: Several large orders on the same side (YES or NO) within a short window (e.g. 2 hours). Suggests coordinated or informed interest rather than a single outlier.
đź”´ Critical: A cluster plus signs of urgency (e.g. buyers accepting worse prices in sequence, or a sudden spike in order frequency). We treat this as our highest-conviction “smart money” signal.
No whale activity meeting our signal thresholds in the last 24 hours.
The Contrarian Corner
Fed Chair market pricing suggests heavy consensus around Warsh nomination (94%) with minimal probability assigned to alternatives. Historical precedent suggests nomination markets can overstate certainty this far from decision point.
New & Expiring Markets
Academy Awards markets entering final stretch with 12 days until resolution. March FOMC meeting market closes in 15 days with minimal probability of rate movement.
