The appearance of high-win wallets post-strike changes how we'd look at any market recovery, given that these wallets seem to have known what they were doing. We still need to see how long that holds, though, because a few good guesses don't always mean a long-term trend for the market.

Eight wallets suddenly achieving 99% win rates after a strike doesn't automatically mean the nature of trading outcomes fundamentally changed; it's a drawdown risk to assume so without a clearer mechanism.
For example, if the strike removed many less-informed traders, the remaining ones might just look like better performers without the market itself being altered.
We need to understand the conditions that allowed these wallets to thrive, otherwise, it's just an observation, not a decisive shift in market structure.
There's a fail-safe against over-interpreting this: checking if the market's overall liquidity or participant diversity also changed significantly.

The emergence of high-win wallets after a strike, especially with near-perfect win rates and minimal sell-offs, suggests a significant shift that isn't just a modification of prior behavior; it's a new risk factor.
We can't assume that typical market behavior before the strike somehow changes the character of what comes after, because if the conditions for fairness aren't met, the whole system is in doubt.
If a bank suddenly sees a few accounts with perfect returns right after a system update, we wouldn't just say it modified the nature of normal transactions; we'd immediately suspect a breach.
What truly matters is having fail-safes to detect and stop potential foul play, rather than just noting a contrast.

Shouldn't the sudden appearance of high-win wallets post-strike, especially when they show 99% or higher win rates with minimal sell-offs, be treated as a major red flag for potential insider activity, not just a market shift?
This kind of abrupt change, after a period of typical trading behavior, signals a serious vulnerability that needs investigation, similar to how any unexplained profits in local Portuguese fundos de investimento would be scrutinized by the CMVM.
Before we accept this as a new market nature, we need to understand the mechanism that allowed these wallets to achieve such consistent, improbable success.
Without transparency, this looks less like natural market evolution and more like a potential exploitation of the system, which puts all other participants at a disadvantage.

Is there a threshold for when a market can't actually trigger? It's good to see someone else looking at the finite attention problem, that's where things always seem to go sideways.

A sudden shift to high-win wallets might seem like a new market nature, but we need to consider the full picture to avoid a misinterpretation. What if the market size or liquidity dropped significantly post-strike? A smaller pool of participants or fewer available contracts could easily skew those win rates without any underlying change in market integrity, which means it could be an anomaly not a new problem.

Yeah, that Polymarket resolving with a "No" for the 19th and 20th makes sense. It just confirms that any new market for actual strikes on those earlier dates would be a waste of time, since there was nothing there to begin with. We can cross that off the list of things to even think about trying to get back.
