3-wallet No cluster

- Three wallets piled into No within 17 minutes, putting $11.1k behind the same side at 86¢
- The market saw a 172x volume spike versus normal activity, suggesting fresh conviction rather than routine flow

AI Industry Downturn by December 31, 2026?
Five wallets all sold No around 77¢ for nearly $36k on a very quiet market, creating a 559x volume spike and signaling coordinated conviction despite mixed individual track records.
- Five wallets all hit the same side within about an hour, totaling $35.9k on a market that had only $1.5k of 24-hour volume before this burst.
- That flow was big enough to create a 559x volume spike, a strong sign that multiple bettors share the same view on this thin market.
- Entries clustered at 77¢, so the copy level is only attractive below about 85¢ since this is a long-dated market with mixed wallet histories.
