The ceasefire breach market recorded daily volume of $2,456 in USDC trades, with only $1,146 needed to move it 5 points. This is a thin market, vulnerable to a few larger trades shifting the price. The largest recent move was a 2-point drop yesterday, showing quick reactions to news on minimal capital.
