4-bullet brief | narrative

Kalshi prices average gas above $4.110 at 80%, a strong lean, but 20% residual uncertainty remains.
$18K in 24h is 67% of all-time volume, the highest lifetime-share of any spike today, on a thin contract.
Paired with the $4.10 contract at 98%, the spread reveals traders are pricing genuine uncertainty in the 1-cent band.
The $4.110 threshold is the live decision point; this is where new information about pump prices will move odds.
