One prediction market prices this story:

  • 22,800 or below — the market puts it at 12%, closing 31 Dec 2026. The market resolves to Yes if the Nasdaq 100 index value falls below 22,800.01 after issuance and before December 31, 2026 at 4pm EST. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the deadline as the end of the day on December 31, 2026, rather than the specific time of 4pm EST.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
