The probability that Alibaba will have the best Chinese AI model at the end of July 2026 surged 17.5 percentage points over the past 24 hours, climbing from 51.7% to 69.3% on Polymarket. This significant repricing reflects a strong shift in market sentiment around Alibaba’s AI prospects.
Whale activity aligned with the price move, as 63 unique whales contributed $10K in buy volume against $5K in sells, resulting in a net $5K inflow into YES contracts. This flow confirms the tape’s upward momentum, indicating that large traders are backing the improved odds for Alibaba.
Overall 24-hour volume on the market reached $10K, with total lifetime volume standing at $93K across 1,123 unique traders. The coordinated rise in price and whale buying suggests growing confidence in Alibaba’s position in the competitive Chinese AI landscape, as the market adjusts to new information or sentiment ahead of the July 2026 deadline.
The combined price and flow pattern signals a clear recalibration of expectations, with whales reinforcing the probability increase rather than opposing it. This move highlights how large traders can validate rapid shifts in market pricing on Polymarket.
