Kalshi traders priced a 25bps Federal Reserve rate increase at the October 2026 meeting at 5.0%, down 3.0 probability points, with $5.3M traded. According to PredictionBubbles’ movers and finance boards, the contract was among the finance markets repricing ahead of the meeting in about three days.

The figures accompanied an update published Oct 25, 2026 · 7:54 AM ET. PredictionBubbles’ movers page identifies its venue-price snapshot as 25 Oct 2026, 11:40 UTC and says it refreshes the data every 15 minutes.

A lower price for the hike scenario

The decline reflects a reduced market-implied probability for the specific 25bps hike outcome. It does not establish how traders divided their expectations among other possible Federal Reserve decisions; prices for those alternatives were not included in the supplied material.

Nor does the material identify a policy announcement, economic release or other catalyst for the move. The available evidence shows repricing ahead of the meeting, rather than an explanation for why traders changed their positions.

Reading the move alongside trading activity

According to PredictionBubbles, its movers rankings measure absolute probability-point changes over 24 hours, rather than relative percentage changes. Volume provides context but does not affect a market’s position in that ranking.

The $5.3M traded figure is therefore a separate measure from the 3.0-point decline. The supplied contract details do not specify the volume’s measurement period or provide order-book depth, limiting what can be concluded about the liquidity behind the price change.

What it means for prediction markets

The hike outcome remains priced as unlikely: The 5.0% reading is a market-implied probability, not confirmation of the Federal Reserve’s decision.
The unit matters: The decline is 3.0 probability points, not a 3.0% relative fall.
Other policy outcomes remain unspecified: This contract alone does not show whether traders favor unchanged rates or a cut.
Timing matters: With the meeting about three days away, the quoted price is a dated snapshot rather than a settled outcome.

Olivia Chow win the 2026 Toronto mayoral election priced at 62.5% on Polymarket, down 4.5 points, on $339K traded

Olivia Chow’s contract to win the 2026 Toronto mayoral election was priced at 62.5% on Polymarket, down 4.5 probability points, with $339K traded, in the Oct 25, 2026 · 7:54 AM ET update.

According to PredictionBubbles, the contract appeared on its movers and politics boards. The decline represents a lower market-implied probability of a Chow victory, although the price remained above 50%.

Reading the move

PredictionBubbles measures changes over 24 hours and refreshes its rankings every 15 minutes using prices from Polymarket and Kalshi. The supplied board snapshot records venue data read on 25 Oct 2026, 11:40 UTC.

The board ranks contracts by the absolute size of their probability-point changes, rather than relative percentage changes. Trading volume and liquidity provide context but do not determine a contract’s position in the rankings, according to PredictionBubbles.

Limits of the available evidence

The supplied material does not identify a poll, campaign development or other event behind Chow’s decline. It therefore establishes a change in pricing, not the reason traders revised their assessment.

The $339K traded figure adds context, but the supplied headline does not specify its measurement period. It should not be treated as confirmed 24-hour turnover or as evidence of current order-book depth.

What it means for prediction markets

Chow remains priced above an even chance: The 62.5% reading signals a market-implied probability, not a guaranteed election result.
The decline is 4.5 probability points: It is not a 4.5% relative decrease.
The catalyst remains unestablished: The available evidence does not connect the repricing to a specific political development.
Volume and liquidity are different measures: The $339K traded figure alone cannot establish how much trading would be required to move the price.
