This market is done. The “When will the US next strike Iran? (Week)” contract for February 22-28 sits at $1.00, meaning the market has fully priced in that a US strike on Iran occurred during that window. With resolution set for April 4, 2026, the remaining question is not whether this happened, but whether any late-breaking dispute could dislodge a near-certainty.

The math does not lie. At $2,371,500 in total volume and $8,860,825 in available liquidity, this is a deep, well-trafficked market. The February 22-28 outcome has absorbed all available conviction. Every alternative week contract, including March 1-7 and No Strike by April 4, now prices at zero.

How the February 22-28 Strike Contract Works

This contract asks a specific question: did the US conduct a strike on Iran during the week of February 22 through February 28, 2026? Resolution is handled by Polymarket market resolution criteria, with the contract closing on April 4, 2026.

  • YES: A US strike on Iran occurred between February 22-28, 2026. Price: $1.00. Probability: 100%. Resolves: April 4, 2026.
  • NO: No qualifying US strike occurred in that window. Price: $0.00. Probability: 0%. Resolves: April 4, 2026.

A NO buyer at this point would need evidence that the reported strike either did not meet the resolution criteria or was misattributed. That window is essentially closed. The market has seen $162,705 in 24-hour volume still flowing, which means some traders are either exiting YES positions or making final confirmation bets at the ceiling price.

Market Signals: Full Conviction, No Movement

Momentum across the 1-hour and 24-hour windows shows no directional price change, and the trend score reflects a fully resolved state. When a market hits $1.00 with no reversal pressure, that is not stagnation. That is consensus.

The $2,371,500 in total volume represents sustained real-money participation over the life of this contract. The $162,705 flowing in the last 24 hours against $8,860,825 in available liquidity confirms this market remains liquid and actively monitored, not abandoned. Trader sentiment sits at 100% YES and 0% NO, a distribution that only holds when the underlying event is treated as confirmed fact.

  • YES price: $1.00, representing a fully priced-in outcome with zero residual doubt among active traders.
  • 24-hour volume: $162,705 continuing to clear, suggesting traders are still closing positions rather than opening new ones.
  • Liquidity depth: $8,860,825 available signals this market can absorb large position changes without price disruption.
  • 1-hour price change: Flat, consistent with a market at terminal pricing.
  • 24-hour price change: Flat, reinforcing that no new information has challenged the resolved state.

Lines Analysis: Reading a Market That Has Made Up Its Mind

Here is what the market is not missing: the February 22-28 strike contract is not a forecast anymore. It is a settlement. The YES case rests on the fact that every competing week resolved to zero while this one reached $1.00. That does not happen by accident in a market with this volume. Related contracts add weight. The “US strikes Iran by…?” market is also at 100%, and a ceasefire market sits at 73%, which only makes narrative sense after a confirmed strike event.

The NO case requires a resolution dispute, specifically a ruling that the reported event did not meet the technical criteria baked into the contract language. Given the depth of this market and the zero-price state of every alternative outcome, that scenario carries essentially no market-assigned probability. Structural reversals at $1.00 do happen on technicalities, but this market has not priced that risk at all.

  • Resolution criteria challenge: Any dispute over what qualifies as a “US strike” could briefly introduce NO-side pressure before April 4, 2026.
  • Ceasefire market movement: A shift in the 73% ceasefire contract could reflect new diplomatic developments that indirectly touch resolution framing.
  • Volume drying up: If 24-hour volume drops sharply before April 4, it signals traders consider the matter fully settled.
  • Related market divergence: If the broader “US strikes Iran by…?” contract moved off 100%, that would be the first warning sign.
  • Liquidity withdrawal: A drop in the $8,860,825 available liquidity would indicate market makers are pulling confidence ahead of resolution.

The $2,371,500 in total volume, combined with the full 100% consensus and zero movement in competing outcomes, leaves the data pointing in one direction. No single signal here is ambiguous. The February 22-28 window is the resolved answer to this market’s question.

LINES VERDICT

February Twenty-Two Through Twenty-Eight: Confirmed

Every structural signal in this market points to a confirmed US strike on Iran during the February 22-28 window, with zero competing bets and sustained volume validating the outcome.

What the market says: Full certainty, priced at the absolute ceiling, though the April four resolution date means a technical dispute remains the only conceivable source of any last-minute movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

A 100% probability means every active trader in this $2,371,500 market believes the February 22-28 US strike on Iran occurred and meets resolution criteria. No capital is betting against that outcome.

The NO contract prices at $0.00, meaning a buyer would risk capital on a resolution dispute or technical disqualification. Given the market depth and related contract alignment, that scenario carries no assigned probability.

Only a formal resolution challenge or evidence that the reported strike did not meet contract criteria could shift the February 22-28 contract off $1.00 before the April 4, 2026 close.

The February 22-28 strike contract resolves on April 4, 2026, per Polymarket’s market resolution process. Traders still active in the $8,860,825 liquidity pool are awaiting that final settlement.

Higher volume markets like this one, at $2,371,500 total, generally reflect stronger collective conviction. More capital committed to a single outcome reduces the likelihood of a stale or manipulated price.

Resolution Analysis

Confirmed Strike Supporting Factors

The February 22-28 contract sits at full certainty with $2,371,500 in volume and zero competing bets across all other week contracts. Related markets, including the broader US strikes Iran contract at 100%, align perfectly. No signal in this market suggests the outcome is in doubt ahead of the April 4, 2026 resolution.

Resolution Dispute Risk Factors

The only credible downside scenario is a technical resolution challenge before April 4, 2026. If the reported strike does not meet the specific contract criteria for what constitutes a qualifying US strike on Iran, a dispute could briefly introduce NO-side pressure. This risk carries near-zero market-assigned probability given current pricing.

NO Contract Comeback Scenario

A NO comeback requires evidence that the February 22-28 event was misclassified, misreported, or falls outside the contract's resolution criteria. New reporting contradicting the strike attribution before April 4 could trigger a dispute process. The math does not lie: this is the only path to any movement off $1.00.

Wildcard Factor

Ceasefire negotiations, currently priced at 73% on a related Polymarket contract, could introduce ambiguity about the nature or legitimacy of the reported strike if diplomatic parties contest the characterization. A formal Iranian government statement disputing US involvement, surfacing before the April 4, 2026 resolution, would be the most disruptive wildcard this market faces.

Key macro factor: The 73% ceasefire market and 100% broader strike market together suggest a post-strike diplomatic phase is underway, adding geopolitical context to this contract's terminal pricing.
