Part of: Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal by October 31?
Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal by October 31?
This prediction market asks whether Strait of Hormuz traffic will return to at least 60 seven-day average transit calls by October 31, 2026. It resolves Yes if IMF Portwatch reports that threshold for any date before the deadline; otherwise, it resolves No. The market currently shows smart-money activity, including No accumulation signals.
This market will resolve to “Yes” if IMF Portwatch publishes a 7-day moving average of transit calls (“Arrivals of Ships”) for the Strait of Hormuz equal to or above 60 for any date between market creation and October 31, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Daily transit calls include container, dry bulk, roll-on/roll-off, general cargo, and tanker ships. Ships not reported by IMF Portwatch will not be considered. This market will resolve as soon as IMF Portwatch publishes a 7-day moving average of transit calls equal to or above the specified level, or once data has been published for the final date in the specified period and no such value has been published. If no data has been published for the final date of the specified period within 14 calendar days (ET) after the end of that period, this market will resolve based on data published up to that point. Revisions to previously published data points made within this market’s timeframe will be considered. However, they will not disqualify a previously published data point from qualifying. Revisions to previously published data points after data is published for October 31, 2026, however, will not be considered. In case of obvious data integrity issues (i.e., erroneous data), the market may remain open until the end of the third calendar day (ET) after the date on which such data is first released to allow for corrections. Data integrity issues refer only to clerical or other similar errors in the underlying data, and do not include cases where IMF Portwatch differs from alternative sources. The resolution source for this market will be IMF Portwatch, specifically the transit calls data published for the Strait of Hormuz at https://portwatch.imf.org/pages/cb5856222a5b4105adc6ee7e880a1730, both in the chart and through downloadable files.

Notable Trades
Three-wallet No accumulation
Three wallets are adding roughly $6,900 to No, creating meaningful one-sided flow in a moderately active market despite limited evidence of exceptional trader skill.
- Three wallets bought about $6,900 of No at 84–86¢, with each already holding and adding to an existing No position.
- The flow represents roughly two-thirds of the market’s 24-hour volume and coincides with a 6% weekly decline in Yes odds.
- One participating bettor is profitable across 231 resolved trades, though the group lacks a clearly elite, independently verified track record.
