This question resolves YES if, according to Yahoo Finance, USD/RUB pair stays higher than 100 (at close) for at least 7 consecutive days in 2023. I will use the "Close" column of the source table to resolve the question.

I will bet on this market.

UPD (for clarity). For days without a record I will use the last recorded close price. So if the price is 105 from Monday to Friday, and there are no records for subsequent Saturday and Sunday, the resolution will be YES.

It's not possible to reach 7 days after today?

predicted YES

There have been 55% instances of an increase in USD/RUB the past year, 42% with a decrease and 3% of no change.

P(7day streak "Increase") = 0.55^7 ≈ 0.00034. With 76 days left in 2023: Expected number of 7-day streaks = 0.00034 * 76 ≈ 0.0258

Putin ordered a sale of foreign currency revenues for some exporters which could strengthen the currency together with crude oil prices increasing over the past weeks. Yet Western sanctions are still impacting Russian revenues and with today's geopolitical tensions causing uncertainty, I believe there is a low chance of a 7 day streak in 2023.

Ruble gaining another 3% today, it’s basically over. few hours left to exit “yes” positions before Americans wake up

This happened again.

Can you all please bring this down to 60% again like last time?

bought Ṁ0 of YES

Put a M1500 limit at 60% YES since people keep betting this down

@lukres There are still 4.5 months ahead of us.

predicted NO

@gigab0nus Yeah but the market was at 50% when rubusd was where it is now, and that was before we learned of the central bank’s determination to protect it.

sold Ṁ71 of YES

@lukres I agree that the „this market will resolve in August“ mentality is over (which I was betting on, bc. I need the liquidity). But their low inflation rates don‘t allow for further rate hikes. I believe they know that and that that is why they are using such psychological marks like 100 for manipulation. Putin e.g. is a strong opponent of rate hikes right now.

predicted NO

@gigab0nus I don't disagree, I might reverse to yes at 40 or 50%, but the current rate won't last past US morning. Shame I don't have any balance left.

predicted YES

@lukres Okay yeah I havent been here for long enough to predict how the market will overreact

bought Ṁ50 of YES

I know it was a strong signal from the central bank, showing that <100 is an important threshold. But they wont kill their economy, just for this number to look good, right?

bought Ṁ50 of YES

Yahoo only tracks Mo-Fr. Do we need 7 or 5 of them (as long as a weekend is included)?

predicted YES

@gigab0nus For days without a record I will use the last recorded close price. So if the price is 105 from Monday to Friday, and there are no records for subsequent Saturday and Sunday, the resolution will be YES.
