To better assess where each potential outcome stands, the market can be segmented into three distinct trading tiers based on implied probability and contract pricing:

🥇 Tier 1: The Dominant Leader

• 19°C (950%): Sitting in third place with a 950% probability, the market shows measured skepticism toward 19°C, treating it as an outside wildcard unless momentum shifts.

🥉 Tier 3: The Long-Tail Options (Combining for ~0%)

Beyond the top three choices, a wide field of macro variables and long-shot outcomes are being tracked. While their individual probabilities hover low, they represent crucial hedges for speculative traders:

• Alternative Options: This includes 16°C (550%), 15°C (95%), and 20°C (50%).
• Speculative Volume: Despite low statistical likelihood, certain long-tail contracts like 21°C are still attracting notable interest.
