I just took a NO position on an official US Iran ceasefire by March 31 on Polymarket.

Entry around 69c.

My reasoning is basically the same as for the March 15 market.

Nothing meaningful has changed.

Trump keeps demanding full nuclear concessions.

Strikes are still happening almost every day.

Neither side looks ready to slow things down.

Talks are going nowhere and mediators have not moved the needle.

And the resolution requires an official public agreement.

Right now there is not even a hint of that.

Market still prices YES around 25 percent.

To me that feels high for March.

@Twiter_score Intersting 👍

@Rainbearer21176 @Polymarket @prob_trade Interesting tools

[Ink Byte @InkByte]

@Limb0NFT The key point here is the “official statement” requirement

[Ink Byte @InkByte]

@0xbobaaa Could just be someone who follows the region closely

[Ink Byte @InkByte]

@PolyDekos @prob_trade Markets are usually better at pricing reality than politicians

[Ink Byte @InkByte]

@0xSevenup @prob_trade 200% in 2 hours sounds nice

[Ink Byte @InkByte]

@0x_fokki If someone had a real 92% edge they wouldn’t be sharing it on X

[Ink Byte @InkByte]

most people lose in prediction markets not because they’re wrong, but because they’re late

that’s why i started using @prob_trade

it’s basically a trading layer on top of @Polymarket

AI helps with quick market research, copy trading shows what strong traders are doing

and stop loss orders make execution way easier

just better tools, faster decisions and less chaos while trading

🧵 My take on the Polymarket question: “Will Iran close the Strait by March 31?” — I’m betting NO.

Yes, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have issued very strong warnings and attacks have disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Many companies have pulled vessels, and insurers are canceling war risk cover - essentially making the area too risky for normal traffic right now.

But a true 80%+ sustained drop in moving averages caused directly by Iran’s actions - that’s a high bar. Shipping data shows near-halt activity at the moment, but that’s largely due to multiple parties choosing safety first - not an enforced legal blockade.

Fully closing the Strait would hurt Iran’s own export economy and risk broad military escalation. Tehran also relies on that route for its oil trade, including shipments to big partners.

Right now we’re seeing a de-facto disruption, not a sustained, enforced, measurable collapse as defined by the market. So my view is that by March 31 the conditions for a “Yes” don’t seem likely, even if tension and delays remain.

I think the market may be pricing emotion and risk premiums - not the technical trigger needed to resolve YES.

🔍 So I’m leaning NO - shipping will still find some way to move or resume de-facto once immediate pressure fades.

@0xRexnftcrypto 2K feels more psychological than technical at this point

[Ink Byte @InkByte]

@Harshbtcrypto Sounds like a spot that means something to you

@Rima29962495081 One more World Cup run at that stage is impressive

@pvt808139 @3look_io I’ve noticed the same dynamic in prediction markets

@xCryptoAlucard @basesatosh Base launches can move fast early on

@linie_oo @Polymarket @PolymarketTrade @zscdao The Hormuz angle is what everyone jumps to

[Ink Byte @InkByte]

@sopersone Giving it full access and going to sleep is a move

@AllurePixel That kind of commitment on day three is bold
