The market question “Will there be no next Foreign Secretary of the UK in 2026?” saw a significant shift on Polymarket, with the YES contract price dropping sharply by 35.0 percentage points over the last 24 hours, falling from an estimated 64.5% to 29.5% as of July 15, 2026.
This rapid decline in price occurred despite whale activity that moved in the opposite direction: whales net bought $4K into YES contracts, with $10K in buy volume against $6K in sell volume. The presence of 55 unique whale traders contrasts with the price drop, highlighting a divergence between large investor flow and the broader market sentiment implied by the price.
Polymarket’s total 24-hour volume on this market was $9K, out of a lifetime volume of $69K, involving 310 unique traders overall. Notably, the Polymarket breaking YES price of 29.5% differs from Polydata’s on-chain mid-price of 39.0%, indicating some discrepancy between exchange prices and on-chain data.
The divergence between whale flow and price suggests that while the general market is pricing a much lower chance of the scenario occurring, significant whale interest remains in the YES side.
