The market for whether the next Google Gemini Pro model will be released on July 17, 2026, saw a dramatic 40.4 percentage point drop in YES price over the past 24 hours, falling from about 52.4% to 12.0% on Polymarket. Despite this steep decline in price, whale activity diverged from the downward move: 45 unique whales contributed a net $9K inflow into YES contracts, with $13K bought and $4K sold in the same period.
This divergence between whale flow and price action is notable. While the overall market priced the event as much less likely within a day, whales continued to place relatively large bets supporting the YES outcome. The total 24-hour volume on Polymarket for this market was $14K, with a lifetime volume of $24K and 100 unique traders participating overall.
Adding complexity, the Polydata on-chain mid-price for YES remains at 58.2%, significantly higher than the Polymarket Breaking price of 12.0%, highlighting a split between on-chain liquidity and Polymarket’s current quoted price.
This pattern suggests that while the broader market sentiment turned sharply against a July 17 release for the Google Gemini Pro, significant whale interest persists, potentially reflecting differing views on the event or liquidity imbalances. The combined price plunge and whale buying divergence signal a contested market with conflicting signals about the likelihood of the release date.
