Top reasons

Take profit

Close if price drops to
48¢
Take profit near fair value (~54¢) — the model's estimated probability for Yes, where the edge is gone. Consider closing if price falls to ~48¢ (at or below the 48–60% confidence floor / below your ~42¢ entry); that would suggest the thesis is likely broken.

f* = (p − c) / (1 − c) = (0.54 − 0.42) / (1 − 0.42) = 20.7% of bankroll

Resolution
How this market resolves and what could go wrong. The date shown with a market is a "resolves by" deadline — outcomes may settle earlier when determined.
Show resolution criteriaHide resolution criteria
Resolves Yes if the Federal Reserve announces a cumulative rate cut of 50 basis points or more from the reference date through June 30, 2026, per official FOMC statements.
3 resolution risks
- Resolution uses cumulative basis-point cuts — a single 25bp cut followed by another 25bp cut counts, but timing between cuts matters for the window.
- Emergency or inter-meeting cuts may or may not count depending on how Polymarket interprets 'announced' vs. effective dates.
- If the Fed pauses mid-cycle, partial cuts could leave the market in dispute territory near the resolution deadline.

The market prices a 42% chance of significant Fed easing, but futures markets, recent inflation data, and Fed communications collectively point to a higher likelihood. The gap between our 54% estimate and the 42¢ market price represents a meaningful edge, though resolution criteria around cumulative cuts add some ambiguity.
