The Polymarket contract on whether the next Claude Opus model will be released by July 22, 2026, saw a notable shift in market sentiment over the last 24 hours, with the YES price dropping 21.0 percentage points from an estimated 58.0% to 37.0% as of the July 19 snapshot.
This significant repricing occurred alongside $11K in 24-hour volume, reflecting active trading interest. However, contrary to the downward move in the YES price, whale flow diverged from the price action, indicating that large traders increased their net positions in YES contracts despite the market sell-off.
Such a split can signal differing interpretations of the underlying event likelihood or strategic positioning ahead of the contract’s resolution date.
The combined picture of a 21.0 pp price decline with whale flow moving against it highlights an unsettled market environment. Traders and observers should note the conflicting signals as the contract approaches its expiration, reflecting uncertainty about the timing of Claude Opus’s next model release.
