Chances for US-Iran ceasefire don drop as Iran tie the truce to lifting the blockade
Chances say say make ceasefire between US and Iran don drop sharply after Iran senior negotiator Qalibaf talk say full ceasefire no fit happen as long as maritime blockades and economic hostilities dey. Market for US‑Iran ceasefire fall to about 15.5% (from ~32% within 24 hours), traders dey more likely to price for more conflict rather than quick breakthrough.
Qalibaf comments still make bearish sentiment stronger because Iran seize two vessels for the Strait of Hormuz, heightening perceived disruption risk. Liquidity for the prediction market still thin: about $68,607 in USDC trade for the past day, and around $4,074 fit move the price by 5 points—so headlines fit reprice contracts quick.
With April 30 deadline near (~9 days left), traders fit watch for mediation or posture changes, including any Oman/Qatar moves, softer US or Iranian rhetoric, and changes to US naval posture for the Strait of Hormuz. These developments fit further move US‑Iran ceasefire odds and increase short‑term volatility for USDC‑settled positions.
