Market context

WTI crude oil will settle on 11 June 2026 at a specific closing price. The market currently assigns zero probability to the contract closing above an unspecified threshold, suggesting either an extreme price expectation or a technical issue with the strike level itself. WTI trades continuously across US and global exchanges, with settlement based on the New York Mercantile Exchange's official close.

Historical volatility in WTI provides context for assessing tail-risk pricing. Between 2020 and 2024, WTI ranged from below $30 to above $90 per barrel, with geopolitical shocks and OPEC production decisions driving multi-dollar daily swings. A zero-probability reading is uncommon unless the strike sits far outside plausible trading ranges or the market lacks sufficient liquidity to establish a meaningful bid-ask spread. Comparable energy contracts typically show non-zero probabilities across a wide band of outcomes unless the strike is explicitly set beyond historical extremes.

Traders monitoring this contract should track OPEC+ production announcements, US inventory data releases (typically Wednesdays via the EIA), and any geopolitical developments affecting Middle Eastern supply. Seasonal demand patterns favour higher prices in northern hemisphere summer, though refinery maintenance can suppress crude demand. The specific strike price will determine whether the zero probability reflects genuine market consensus or a liquidity gap that could widen or tighten as the settlement date approaches.

Methodology

We track WTI Crude Oil (WTI) closes above 2026 on June 11? on the five venues with material liquidity for prediction markets. Live odds come from the Polymarket Polygon order book — the only source that ships real-time data under an open licence. For Kalshi, Betfair and Manifold we list platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement, payment) instead of fabricated odds, because their APIs use non-comparable contract definitions.

FAQ

How does resolution work?

Through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon: a proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and USDC payouts settle automatically once the result is final.

What's the difference between YES and NO shares?

A YES share pays $1.00 if the event happens, $0 otherwise. A NO share pays $1.00 if the event doesn't happen. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.

What does it cost to trade on Champions League Prediction?

How reliable are the quoted odds?

The YES/NO percentages are the live mid-prices of the Polymarket order book. On deep markets they move every few seconds; on thinner ones you'll see short plateaus.
