    "The $58,000 spot print following the PCE release is consistent with a market that already priced a sub-$75K outcome as the base case, not an upside scenario.",
    "The companion Kalshi contract on Bitcoin outperforming gold in 2026 prices at 26%, with Bitcoin well behind gold year-to-date given the inflation backdrop.",
    "Resolves via CF Benchmarks trimmed-mean methodology; the ladder shows near-zero probability at $77,500 and above, confirming the market treats any recovery to $75K+ as a low-probability event before month-end."
