As of March 6, 2026, with only 25 days remaining until the April 1 deadline, the probability is low. The market definition requires a 'Mission Campaign', distinguishing it from recent 'Armory' updates. Historically, Operations are preceded by significant datamining leaks regarding maps and game modes, which are currently absent. While the price has rebounded due to mid-week update speculation, the fundamentals (short timeframe, lack of mission-system leaks) suggest the true probability is likely under 10%, making the current 17.5c price driven by speculation rather than data.

Movers
From 07:00 to 18:00 on March 5, 2026, the price of Option_'Yes' surged from 7.5c to 18.5c (+11c). This volatility was driven by intense community speculation during Valve's typical Wednesday/Thursday update window, despite a lack of concrete evidence for an Operation release.
Divergence
There is a significant divergence between market pricing (~18%) and fundamental probability (<10%). Traders are pricing based on 'update day copium', ignoring the reality of Valve's shift to the Armory model and the absence of mission system leaks, leading to a significant premium on the 'Yes' option.
