SpaceX Starship Flight Test 13 Launch Odds Drop 38 Points to 11.5% Despite Whale Selling

Polymarket’s “Will SpaceX Starship Flight Test 13 launch by July 20?” contract fell sharply as whale activity diverged from the price move.

The market for “Will SpaceX Starship Flight Test 13 launch by July 20?” saw a dramatic reversal in the past 24 hours, with the YES price plunging 38.0 percentage points from an estimated 49.5% to just 11.5% as of July 19. This sharp decline signals a significant shift in trader sentiment about the likelihood of the launch happening on time.

Interestingly, whale flow diverged from the price action during this period. While the YES contract’s price dropped heavily, whales did not increase their net position in YES, indicating that large traders were not aligned with the tape’s bearish repricing. The 24-hour volume on Polymarket for this contract was relatively modest at $7K, suggesting that the price move was driven more by retail or smaller participants rather than heavy whale buying or selling.

The combined picture suggests uncertainty or new information causing a reassessment, but with whales not following the sharp sell-off, the market’s direction remains unsettled.
