Historical Price (Probability)
Outcome probability
Date
The prediction market for a Gabriel Diallo victory opened with a low probability of 6.0% on June 30 before experiencing a dramatic upward revision. The price spiked to 48.0% that same day and peaked at 54.0% before declining. On July 2, the day of the match, the contract saw a significant 13.0 percentage point drop from 51.0% to 38.0%. This established a trading range between 6.0% and 54.0%. The final price settled far from both the initial low and the peak, indicating a highly volatile market with rapidly shifting sentiment.
The primary drivers for the price swings are not fully explained by the provided information. The massive spike from 6.0% to 48.0% on June 30 lacks a clear catalyst in the research; context regarding a spike on that day relates to the opposing Lorenzo Sonego contract following his first-round win. Similarly, no specific event was identified as the driver for the 13.0pp drop on July 2. Trading volume was negligible at the start but surged to over 866,000 contracts on the final day, coinciding with the price drop. This suggests high conviction and heavy participation as the event neared, locking in the market's final assessment.
The chart suggests an initial assessment of Diallo as a significant underdog. Sentiment then reversed completely, establishing a peak price of 54.0% which served as a resistance level. The subsequent fall to a closing price of 38.0% indicates that conviction in a Diallo win waned significantly on match day, though it remained far above the opening price. The market ultimately resolved against this contract when Diallo retired from the match, ceding the win to Sonego.
