Hezbollah launched a barrage hours after a ceasefire announcement, injuring several people in the Upper Galilee. The ceasefire-by-April-30 market sits at 99.6% YES, down from 94% earlier today.

Market reaction

The April 30 sub-market here climbed from 45% to 93.7% over the past week. The attack has so far produced only a 0.3-point dip, but traders are still processing the news. The June 30 market holds at 99.6% YES, meaning traders still price a longer-term ceasefire as very likely.

In the Israel suspension of Lebanon offensive market, odds for an April 30 announcement are at 99.6% YES. Hezbollah’s barrage raises the question of whether retaliatory measures resume, which would pressure those odds lower. The market for military action against Iran is unaffected at 0% YES, as this event is confined to Israel-Hezbollah dynamics.

Why it matters

Volume over the past 24 hours is $1,205,891 in USDC. Book depth requires $50,093 to move odds by 5 points, consistent with institutional-grade participation. The largest single move was a 13-point spike, likely driven by optimism ahead of the barrage. The post-attack dip has been small so far, but a barrage that injures civilians hours after a ceasefire announcement directly tests whether the agreement holds.

What to watch

At 6¢, buying NO on ceasefire by April 30 pays 16.7x if tensions escalate. That bet requires further hostilities within two weeks. Official statements from the IDF and Hezbollah, along with any US or Lebanese diplomatic intervention, are the most likely catalysts for a decisive move in either direction.
