Connection thesis
Polymarket's 100% YES on Bitcoin >$72k by May 3 is a sentiment extremum in a macro environment where: 10Y Treasury at 4.4% (unchanged for weeks, indicating Fed hold mode), unemployment stable at 4.3%, CPI sticky at 330.293. This 100% confidence is historically unreliable in prediction markets when macro conditions show no catalyst. The absence of Fed rate-cut narrative (real rates remain restrictive) contradicts the euphoria embedded in that odds.
