Will the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF) gain the most seats in the next Russian parliamentary election?
Price history
Solid line: market price (fact). Dashed amber: our fair-value estimate.
Thesis
Why the estimate deviates from the market
- 1.Order book shows bid-side pressure (+97.5% imbalance within 5% of mid) on $38 of depth. [book_imbalance v1.0.0, weight 0.14]
Counter-thesis
Why this may be wrong
- 1.Price momentum 1h: -0.03 logit, 6h: +0.03 logit (2 horizons, 0% agreement). [momentum v1.0.0, weight 0.09]
- 2.Model confidence is 0.10; the estimate is shrunk heavily toward the market price and should be treated as weak.
- 3.Only $0 of depth within 5% of mid; size is limited and slippage will reduce realised edge.
Key catalysts
- 1.Resolution in 21.6 days; price convergence typically accelerates near expiry.
What would invalidate this
- 1.Market price moving to 2% would close the gap.
- 2.A reversal in the order-book imbalance or trade-flow direction that drove this estimate.
- 3.Liquidity falling materially below $38 would make the edge uncapturable regardless of accuracy.
