While natural disasters are common news topics, predicting the exact count of global earthquakes above a specific magnitude within a short 7-day window is a somewhat random and niche statistical question that ordinary people rarely track.

2026-04-16 19:58 - 2026-04-17 08:58, the '>9' option price dropped from 42c to 30.5c, while '8' rose from 16.5c to 19.5c, reflecting lowered expectations for earthquake frequency in the remaining time. 2026-04-16 06:58 - 2026-04-16 19:58, the '>9' option price rebounded from 36.5c to 42c before falling back, reflecting the market's adjusted expectations for earthquake frequency in the remaining time. 2026-04-15 08:13 - 2026-04-16 10:13, the '>9' option price dropped significantly from 57c down to 37c. This was caused by a continued lack of qualifying 5.5+ earthquakes globally over the past 1-2 days, reducing the expected probability of reaching 10 events as time elapses. 2026-04-15 04:58 - 2026-04-15 08:13, the price of the '>9' option surged from 42.5c to 57c before settling at 53c, driven by additional qualifying 5.5+ magnitude earthquakes recorded globally between April 14 and 15. 2026-04-14 20:18 - 2026-04-15 08:13, the price of the '>9' option dropped from 48.5c to 42.5c before rapidly surging to 57c, with fluctuations mainly driven by the market's real-time reaction to the latest earthquake data. 2026-04-14 02:58 - 2026-04-14 15:58, the price of the '>9' option surged from 33.5c to 51.5c, driven by consecutive 5.5+ magnitude earthquakes on April 13-14 (e.g., the M5.5 in Silver Springs, Nevada). These early qualifying events triggered panic buying over expectations that the total count would exceed normal levels.

Predicting the exact number of 6.5+ earthquakes globally in a specific week is highly niche; aside from a few geology enthusiasts, the general public rarely tracks or thinks about such high-frequency natural disaster statistics.

April 11, 2026 - April 16, 2026, the price of option 0 rose from 46.5c to 70.5c. The reason is that as the time window progresses without any earthquakes of magnitude 6.5 or higher occurring, the objective probability of having 0 such earthquakes naturally increases. April 10, 2026 - April 12, 2026, the price of option 2 plummeted from 47c to 14.5c, option 1 dropped from 50.5c to 35.5c, option 0 fell from 58.5c to 46.5c, and other low-probability options (like 3, 4, 5, >5) crashed from near 50c to around 1c-3c. The reason was a massive market correction; early illiquidity and irrational pricing caused the sum of 'Yes' probabilities to vastly exceed 100%, and traders subsequently arbitraged the prices down to accurately align with the statistical Poisson distribution of global earthquake frequencies.

The market's rules are highly specific and contain several potential pitfalls: it only includes a specific Truth Social account (@realDonaldTrump); text in quotes and replies counts, but pure retweets (ReTruths) or quoted text does not; text in images counts if spelled out fully, but animated gifs/videos do not; plurals and possessives are allowed, but other forms or misspellings are not; compound words count. These nuances make misjudgment easy.

This is a market predicting the specific vocabulary used by a politician on social media. While not entirely unheard of, it carries a certain level of entertainment value and novelty compared to mainstream election or policy predictions, placing it in the moderately exotic range.

April 16, 2026 - April 17, 2026, the price of 'Crypto / Bitcoin' rebounded sharply from 17.5c to 46.5c, driven by renewed crypto market volatility and related news cycles. April 16, 2026 - April 17, 2026, the price of 'Stupid' rebounded quickly from 49c to 68.5c, indicating rising market expectations of a news event triggering a negative response from Trump over the weekend. April 16, 2026 - April 17, 2026, the price of 'God Bless America' plunged from 56.5c to 24c due to the lack of rallies or specific holidays, causing severe time decay. April 15, 2026 - April 17, 2026, the price of 'Epic Fury' rose from 35.5c to 65c, showing a sudden increase in market expectations for his strong rhetorical usage. April 14, 2026 - April 16, 2026, the price of 'Charlie / Kirk' dropped from 60.5c to 25.5c and slightly rebounded, mainly due to the narrowing window of opportunity. April 14, 2026 - April 15, 2026, the price of 'Stupid' plunged from 81c to 41.5c due to time decay as the term remained unposted despite high initial expectations. April 16, 2026 - April 17, 2026, the price of 'Hezbollah' surged from 53.5c to 99.85c, highly likely because Trump has already posted a truth containing the word. April 13, 2026 - April 15, 2026, the price of 'Sleepy Joe' plunged from 62.5c to 21c before rebounding to 34.5c, reflecting cooling expectations. April 13, 2026 - April 14, 2026, the price of 'AG / Attorney General' dropped from 76.5c to 27c and rebounded to 60c, driven by rapid shifts in the legal news cycle. April 13, 2026 - April 14, 2026, the price of 'Viktor / Orban / Orbán' crashed from 62c to 16c and bounced back to 59c, indicating wild swings in short-term expectations for specific diplomatic mentions. April 13, 2026 - April 14, 2026, the price of 'Poll / Polling' surged from 70c to 99.95c, as it is highly likely Trump already posted the term. April 12, 2026 - April 13, 2026, the price of 'Military Operation' surged from 21c to 87.5c, driven by recent geopolitical tensions leading to high expectations of his commentary.

There are significant traps and resolution risks. The biggest risk is the explicit exclusion of written text (e.g., Truth Social posts), limiting valid instances to publicly recorded audio/video. Furthermore, verifying that a video was actually filmed (not just posted) within the timeframe, and ruling out AI-generated deepfakes, will greatly increase resolution difficulty and dispute risks.

This is a quintessential novelty/entertainment market. The general public or analysts do not typically forecast whether a politician will verbally utter highly specific and dramatic phrases like 'Peanut', 'Gay for Palestine', or 'Epic Fury' within a random week.

April 17, 2026 - April 17, 2026, the price of 'Jesus' surged from 49c to 75.5c, indicating the market discovered new, likely valid video or audio clips confirming the mention within the required timeframe. April 17, 2026 - April 17, 2026, the price of 'Sucker / Loser' plunged from 66.5c to 39.5c, indicating that earlier suspected evidence failed strict rule scrutiny due to incorrect timeframe or context. April 17, 2026 - April 17, 2026, the price of 'Epic Fury' dropped from 59c to 38c, likely because the relevant mention was confirmed to be ineligible under the rules or timeframe. April 16, 2026 - April 17, 2026, the price of 'No No No' fell sharply from 89.5c to 67c, indicating market doubts about whether the mention meets the criteria (e.g., consecutive word usage or context issues). April 16, 2026 - April 17, 2026, the price of 'Christmas' surged from 22c to 49.5c before dipping to 41.5c, likely because the market unearthed new suspected video clips, but subsequent scrutiny slightly lowered certainty. April 15, 2026 - April 16, 2026, the prices of 'Barack Hussein Obama' and 'Melania' surged to nearly 100c, as video evidence confirmed the mentions (likely delisted or resolved now). April 14, 2026 - April 16, 2026, the price of 'Four to Six' surged from 22c to 81c and then fell, as a suspected leaked video triggered heavy market buying, but later cooled possibly because the evidence was deemed invalid under the rules.

April 16, 2026 - April 17, 2026, Post Malone's price surged from 2.05c to 43.3c, driven by extreme illiquidity and irrational speculative buying for a Weekend 2 miracle. April 15, 2026 - April 17, 2026, A$AP Rocky's price experienced violent fluctuations, surging from 2.15c to 50c before crashing back to 13.15c on April 17, indicating the popping of a speculative bubble. April 14, 2026 - April 17, 2026, Usher's price retraced from 39.15c to 17.9c as hype faded, though it still holds an irrational liquidity premium. April 14, 2026 - April 16, 2026, Snoop Dogg's price surged from 4.5c to 26.95c before settling at 17.35c, demonstrating how a few buy orders can drastically inflate prices in a severely illiquid market. April 13, 2026 - April 14, 2026, Frank Ocean's price surged from 3.6c to 45.55c and immediately plummeted to 3.65c as the market realized his Weekend 2 appearance is highly unlikely. April 12, 2026 - April 13, 2026, Travis Scott's price experienced violent fluctuations, plummeting from 41.5c to 13.15c, surging to 62.35c, plummeting again to 5.5c, and finally rebounding to 19.95c, due to a highly illiquid order book being swept in both directions.

Prediction markets imply a 15%-43% probability of appearances by major artists like Post Malone, whereas mainstream music journalism and the general Coachella consensus expect Bieber's Weekend 2 set to remain a solo acoustic performance like Weekend 1. This divergence is entirely a byproduct of speculative mispricing in extremely illiquid prediction markets.
