The IDF reported strikes on saboteurs near the yellow line in south Lebanon, violating the ceasefire. The likelihood of an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire by April 30 sits at 93.7%.
The strikes came just hours after a US-brokered truce began, raising questions about the ceasefire’s durability. The ceasefire by April 30 market has seen heavy action, with odds jumping from 45% to 94% in a week. The June 30 market is at 96.6%, showing slightly more confidence in a longer-term resolution.
The suspension of Lebanon offensive market sits at 96.2%, up from 87% yesterday. Traders are hedging against immediate escalation but pricing in eventual de-escalation.
Traders put $1,205,891 in USDC into these markets in the last 24 hours. It takes $50,093 to move the April 30 ceasefire market by 5 points, indicating solid order book depth. A 13-point jump at 1:16 PM from 59% to 72% shows how quickly sentiment can shift.
The truce looks fragile on the ground even as markets price in high confidence. Buying YES at 94¢ for a ceasefire resolution by April 30 offers limited upside, but a breakdown could send odds down fast. That bet only works if you believe diplomatic pressure will hold against military realities.
Watch for IDF and Hezbollah communications. Any announcements from Israeli leadership or a reported ceasefire breach could move these odds quickly.
