PredictionBubbles movers board ranks 2,028 markets with 425 moving at least 1 point in 24 hours, split 204 up and 221 down

Quiet quarter-hour — no significant new platform headline in the last 15 minutes (news search surfaced only recirculated items already struck on Oct. 17: the Comer…

PredictionBubbles recorded 425 markets with changes of at least 1 probability point over 24 hours, according to its movers board. The supplied headline puts the tracked universe at 2,028 markets, with 204 moving higher and 221 moving lower. The accompanying page gives a different universe count: 2,026 markets.

The page identifies its venue-price snapshot as 18 Oct 2026, 04:45 UTC and says it updates every 15 minutes. It draws prices from Polymarket and Kalshi, covering politics, crypto, sports, finance and other categories. Its main table displays 150 of the 425 qualifying movers, with additional results available through category pages.

What the rankings capture

According to PredictionBubbles, the board orders markets by the size of their absolute probability-point change over 24 hours, regardless of direction. Trading volume and liquidity provide context but do not affect that ordering. Only open contracts with a valid day-old price comparison qualify; resolved markets and contracts too new to establish that baseline are excluded.

The page also limits its ranked universe to markets lasting longer than 14 days, leaving out same-week fixtures. PredictionBubbles explains that contracts opening and settling within two days can experience large price changes as their outcomes become known, potentially overwhelming a ranking intended to highlight repricing rather than settlement.

Questions flagged across categories

The page’s category highlights include whether Kristi Noem will leave the Trump administration before 2027, whether Eugenio Lopez-Chacarra will win the DP World India Championship, and whether Felix Protocol’s FDV will exceed $25M one day after launch. Other highlighted questions concern Anthropic reaching a market capitalization of 1.8T or greater at the close of its IPO day by December 31 2027, and the release of the next Fable Model (5.2+) by October 31, 2026.

Also featured are markets on Drake releasing a new album after issuance and before Jan 1, 2027, and whether 2026 will bring between 14 and 16 earthquakes worldwide with magnitude 7.0 or higher. The supplied page text does not give individual prices, move sizes or directions for these highlighted contracts, so it does not establish how sharply—or which way—each repriced.

What it means for prediction markets

  • Declines slightly outnumbered advances: The supplied headline’s 221 downward moves versus 204 upward moves describe the qualifying contracts, not a shared outlook across unrelated outcomes.
  • The universe count needs qualification: The headline reports 2,028 markets, while the page reports 2,026. The provided material does not explain the discrepancy.
  • A large move is not necessarily heavy trading: Volume and liquidity do not determine rank. They remain important context when assessing whether a price change reflects substantial trading or a thin market.
  • Movement is not confirmation: The board measures changes in traders’ implied probabilities, not verified changes in the underlying outcomes.

Hawai'i wins priced at 61% on Kalshi, up 47 points, on $1.3M traded

PredictionBubbles' movers board ranks the Hawai'i win contract as the day's single largest upward move, in a sports markets category distinct from the lead — a contract…

The Hawai'i win contract on Kalshi was priced at 61%, up 47 probability points, with $1.3M traded, according to the supplied headline. PredictionBubbles’ accompanying summary identifies it as the day’s largest upward mover on its board.

The figures describe a sharp change in traders’ pricing, but the supplied material does not identify the opponent, the underlying fixture or a catalyst. The extracted PredictionBubbles page also does not include the Hawai'i contract’s individual listing, limiting independent confirmation of the headline figures.

How the ranking works

According to PredictionBubbles, its movers board compares prices over 24 hours across Polymarket and Kalshi, updating every 15 minutes. The supplied page records a venue-price snapshot at 04:45 UTC on 18 Oct 2026.

The board’s stated universe comprises 2,026 markets lasting longer than 14 days. It excludes same-week fixtures, explaining that contracts opening and settling within two days can experience large moves driven by resolution rather than new information. Only open markets with a valid day-earlier price comparison qualify.

Price movement versus trading activity

PredictionBubbles ranks moves in probability points, not relative percentage changes. Volume and liquidity provide context but do not determine placement. Its displayed table covers the top 150 of 425 markets that moved at least one probability point over the preceding 24 hours.

For Hawai'i, the 47-point increase and $1.3M traded therefore describe different aspects of the contract: the scale of repricing and the reported trading activity. The supplied headline does not specify the volume measurement period or provide order-book depth, so the turnover figure alone cannot establish liquidity.

What it means for prediction markets

  • A substantial repricing: The reported 61% price reflects a markedly higher market-implied chance of a Hawai'i win, not confirmation of the result.
  • A bounded ranking: “Largest upward mover” refers to PredictionBubbles’ eligible board, rather than every sports contract available.
  • Context remains incomplete: Without the fixture, settlement terms or a documented catalyst, the material does not establish why the price changed.
  • Volume is a separate signal: The reported $1.3M adds trading context, but neither determines the mover ranking nor establishes market depth.
