Infiniti Intelligence Hourly Briefing — Oct 29, 2026 · 7:54 PM ET

Polymarket’s contract for a Fed hike followed by two pauses across the September, October and December decisions was priced at 27.0%, up 9.0 percentage points, with $159K traded, according to the supplied market headline published Oct 29, 2026 · 7:54 PM ET.

The figures show a higher market-implied probability for that specific sequence, rather than for a rate increase alone. The supplied material does not identify a fresh Fed announcement or other policy development explaining the change.

What the market snapshot establishes

According to predictionbubbles.net, its movers dashboard measures changes over 24 hours using prices from Polymarket and Kalshi. The supplied page records a venue snapshot taken on 29 Oct 2026, 23:48 UTC, with updates every 15 minutes.

The dashboard ranks moves by their absolute size in probability points, not relative percentage changes. Trading volume provides separate context and does not determine a market’s position in the ranking.

Limits of the available evidence

The supplied page explains the dashboard’s methodology but does not include the individual Fed contract entry. Consequently, the 27.0% price, 9.0-point increase and $159K traded figure come from the accompanying headline, rather than a visible contract-level record in the source extract. The headline does not specify the period covered by the volume figure.

There is also a timing ambiguity: the headline describes September, October and December as the “next three decisions,” despite its Oct 29, 2026 publication date. Without the contract’s full terms or resolution details, that wording should not be treated as confirmation that all three decisions remained ahead.

What it means for prediction markets

• The sequence matters: The quoted price concerns a hike followed by two pauses, not a standalone probability of a Fed hike.
• Repricing is not an identified catalyst: The reported 9.0-percentage-point increase establishes a price change; the supplied evidence does not explain what drove it.
• Volume leaves questions open: The $159K figure does not, by itself, establish market depth or how much trading accompanied the move.
• Contract terms are essential: The mismatch between the publication date and the “next three decisions” label makes the precise decision dates and settlement rules important to interpreting the price.

Polymarket’s contract on an Iran coup attempt by December 31, 2026 was priced at 12.5%, up 4.5 percentage points, with $180K traded in the supplied October 29 market update. According to PredictionBubbles’ accompanying summary, the contract appeared among the upward political moves on its movers board.

The increase represents a change in traders’ pricing, not confirmation of a coup attempt or evidence of a specific political development. The supplied material identifies no news catalyst for the move and provides no reporting on events inside Iran.

Reading the market snapshot

According to PredictionBubbles, its movers board compares probabilities over 24 hours, updates every 15 minutes and draws prices from Polymarket and Kalshi. Rankings reflect the size of probability-point changes; trading volume and liquidity provide context but do not determine placement.

There is a timing distinction in the supplied material: the summary references an October 29, 23:41 UTC crawl, while the source page records a refresh at 29 Oct 2026, 23:48 UTC. The reproduced page explains the board’s methodology but does not display the Iran contract’s individual entry, so it does not independently verify the headline’s price, move or volume.

What it means for prediction markets

• The outcome remains priced as unlikely: A 12.5% implied probability is still low despite the 4.5-point increase.
• Volume is not market depth: The reported $180K traded does not establish how much liquidity was available when prices changed.
• The catalyst remains unknown: The supplied material supports a report of repricing, not a conclusion that the underlying political risk has demonstrably increased.
• Resolution details matter: The deadline is December 31, 2026, but the supplied text does not include the contract’s criteria for what qualifies as a coup attempt.
