The curve is the crowd’s view
Each market shows a distribution across buckets: the crowd’s current estimate of where the number lands. A tall bucket is a confident consensus. A flat curve is low conviction.What to look for
- A peak that looks too narrow: the crowd may be overconfident, and a wider band underpriced.
- A flat region where you have a real read: an underweighted bucket pays more for the same outcome.
- Recent moves: the curve updates as others trade, and a fresh shift can leave a bucket mispriced for a moment.
