Mar 16, 2026 - Mar 19, 2026, the price of the ↑4k option fluctuated downward from 72c to 64.5c (touching a low of 62c). The reason is that after early-month panic, the market began re-evaluating the sustainability of linear growth against seasonal models, with buying power weakening above 60c.
Mar 14, 2026 - Mar 17, 2026, the price of the ↑5k option plummeted from 52.5c to 33.5c. The reason was emerging signs of deceleration in data, leading investors to realize that the sustained high growth rate needed to breach 5,000 cases was statistically becoming less likely, causing panic premiums to evaporate rapidly.
Mar 6, 2026 - Mar 10, 2026, the price of the ↑3k option surged from 79c to 92.5c, as early March data confirmed rapid spread, cementing 3,000 cases as the market's baseline consensus.
