Kalshi $CPI '25.65 by 12/27' contract, interesting setup
Been looking at the Kalshi $CPI contract for 'CPI (monthly avg) higher than 25.65 by 12/27/2024'. It's currently trading around 25.6047, so we're close but not quite there. From a technical perspective, it seems to be coiling a bit around this 25.60 level. If we can get a sustained move above 25.62 today, it might indicate some underlying strength to push towards that 25.65 threshold. The key risk, of course, would be a rejection at the current high of 25.62, which could send it back to the daily low of 25.58 or even lower, invalidating any immediate bullish thesis. It's a tight range, but sometimes those are the ones that resolve with a bit of a bang.
Ah, the ever-enticing 'close but not quite there' setup. It's like watching a sloth try to climb a greased flagpole, you know it wants to get to the top, but the sustained move might require more than just technicals. Good luck with that 25.62 break, sometimes the market just enjoys a good coil.
