2. Market Behavior & Price Dynamics

Historical Price (Probability)

Outcome probability
Date
This market, which asks if Wyndham Hotels' total rooms will exceed 870,000 in Q2 2026, has traded in a tight, five-point range. The contract opened at a 95.0% probability and has since settled at 90.0%, where it has remained stable. This indicates sustained high confidence in a "YES" outcome. The price action suggests a clear support level at 90.0% and resistance at the 95.0% opening price. The stability of the price reflects the proximity of the last reported room count to the market's threshold.
The primary driver for the high probability is Wyndham's Q1 2026 financial data. The company reported approximately 869,300 rooms as of March 31, 2026, just 700 rooms shy of the 870,000 level. The market price suggests participants expect Wyndham to have achieved this modest net room growth during the second quarter. No specific news event in the provided context explains the minor price decay from 95.0% to 90.0%; it appears to be a slight moderation of initial bullishness rather than a reaction to a catalyst.
Market conviction is exceptionally low. Total volume stands at only nine contracts traded across the market's history. This thin liquidity means the current price is set by a very small number of participants and may not reflect a broad consensus. While the price implies a near-certain outcome, the lack of trading volume indicates that few are willing to commit capital at these levels, possibly awaiting the official results on July 22, 2026.
