11 Fed rate cuts happen in 2026 priced at 0.1% on Polymarket, on $5.3M traded

No significant new platform headline in the last 30 minutes; news search recirculated only items already used today, taken by website-only batches, or on the banned list…

A Polymarket contract on whether 11 Fed rate cuts will happen in 2026 was priced at a market-implied probability of 0.1%, with $5.3M traded, in the supplied snapshot dated Oct 28, 2026, at 5:24 PM ET. The price places that outcome at the far edge of traders’ expectations, rather than ruling it out entirely.

A snapshot, not a fresh catalyst

The accompanying news search identified no significant new platform headline in the preceding 30 minutes. The material therefore provides no fresh catalyst to explain the price, nor a prior reading from which to measure a change.

According to predictionbubbles.net, its finance dashboard aggregates prices from Polymarket and Kalshi and refreshes every 15 minutes. The venues themselves trade continuously, so a dashboard reading is a periodically updated snapshot rather than a tick-by-tick price.

Volume and probability tell different stories

PredictionBubbles listed 193 open finance markets in the supplied material: 170 from Polymarket and 23 from Kalshi. Its volume ranking measures total trading activity, while a separate ranking tracks absolute probability changes over the last 24 hours.

According to predictionbubbles.net, the most-traded finance contract at its latest refresh asked whether no Fed rate cuts would happen in 2026, with $9.2M traded on Polymarket. The supplied material does not give that contract’s probability, limiting any comparison with the 11-cut outcome to reported trading volume.

What it means for prediction markets

  • A low price is not a settled result. The 0.1% reading represents the market’s current estimate for 11 cuts in 2026, not a confirmed outcome.
  • Turnover is distinct from conviction. The $5.3M traded measures activity; it does not establish how much money currently supports either side.
  • Timing and contract terms matter. PredictionBubbles refreshes every 15 minutes and notes that related questions across venues can have different wording and resolution rules.
  • The evidence does not establish a trend. Without a previous price or a new identified catalyst, this snapshot cannot show whether expectations for 11 cuts have recently risen or fallen.

Alvaro Guillen Meza wins priced at 12.0% on Kalshi, on $724K traded

PredictionBubbles' main board, on its Oct. 28, 20:58 UTC crawl, lists the Guillen Meza win contract in its new-markets section, opened about 16 hours ago, in a sports…

A Kalshi contract on an Alvaro Guillen Meza win was priced at 12.0%, with $724K traded, in the supplied market snapshot. According to PredictionBubbles’ Oct. 28, 20:58 UTC crawl, the contract appeared among newly opened sports markets, having launched about 16 hours earlier.

A new listing with substantial turnover

The figures pair a low market-implied chance of victory with substantial trading volume shortly after opening. They do not establish whether traders had raised or lowered their assessment of Guillen Meza: the supplied material includes no contract-specific price history or 24-hour probability change.

PredictionBubbles defines volume as cumulative trading activity, rather than the value of positions still outstanding or the liquidity currently available on an order book. The $724K figure therefore should not be read as money currently committed to a Guillen Meza victory.

Limits of the snapshot

According to PredictionBubbles, its board covers 2140 open markets from Kalshi and Polymarket, with price updates every 15 minutes. The reported 12.0% is a market-implied estimate at the snapshot, not a guaranteed outcome or a continuously verified current price.

The supplied listing does not identify Guillen Meza’s opponent, the event, its scheduled timing or the contract’s settlement conditions. Those omissions limit what can be concluded about the sporting context and exactly what result would settle the contract.

What it means for prediction markets

  • Price and activity measure different things: The 12.0% reading signals a low implied chance of victory; $724K measures turnover, not confidence in that outcome.
  • Direction is unconfirmed: Without an earlier price, the snapshot cannot establish whether Guillen Meza’s prospects were being marked up or down.
  • Settlement details remain essential: The event and resolution rules are absent from the supplied material, preventing a fuller assessment of the contract.
