AI Summary:

Market Context & Data Summary

Event: Will the extent of the arctic sea ice be below 4.4 million square km between December 19, 2024 and October 01, 2025?

Implied P(YES) (mid): 1% | YES/NO spreads: 1¢ / 1¢ | Overround (asks): 1% | Underround (bids): 1%.

Orderbook skew: The orderbook displays strong selling pressure on "NO" positions with notable sizes up to 2,779 contracts at $0.99. No "YES" offers are present at the top of the book, indicating potential seller confidence in maintaining ice levels above the threshold.

Recent prints: No significant trading activity was observed, suggesting low market engagement at this time.

External context: - Recent satellite data from the National Snow & Ice Data Center indicates a gradual decline in Arctic ice extent, with current levels remaining above 4.4 million square km (NSIDC). - The 2024/25 winter season is predicted to feature above-average temperatures, contributing to increased melting probabilities (NOAA). - Historical data shows that Arctic ice extent typically fluctuates above the 4.4 million square km threshold during winter months, though late-season variability has been observed in recent years (NASA).


View & Probability

Analyst P(YES): 5%

Rationale: Current climate patterns suggest a consistent level of arctic ice above historical highs, although the potential for variability exists due to rising temperatures and unpredictable weather patterns.


Actionable Trading Recommendations

Idea 1 — Long NO Position
Entry: $0.99 | Invalid/Stop: $0.95 | Target: $1.05
Thesis: Current trends and historical data support a higher likelihood that the ice extent will remain above 4.4 million square km.
Key risks/catalysts: Increased melting rates due to heat waves; unexpected natural events changing ice dynamics.

Idea 2 — Sell YES Position
Entry: $0.01 | Invalid/Stop: $0.03 | Target: $0.005
Thesis: The lack of market activity and strong NO imbalances suggest a low probability for ice extent to fall below the threshold.
Key risks/catalysts: Unforeseen meteorological conditions resulting in significant melting.
