[Whale Watch] $4K YES on More Tech Layoffs in 2026 Than 2025 at 87.2c (11:49:01 PM ET)
The Trade
Someone just bet $4,224 that tech layoffs in 2026 will exceed 2025 totals. That’s 4,844 contracts bought at 87.2 cents, meaning the market prices this at roughly an 87% chance. No notable slippage on the fill.
The Price Impact
The market sat at 87 cents before the trade and barely budged, closing at 87 cents after. Trade flow here is actually lopsided toward NO — 88% of contract volume was NO-side — making this YES bet swim against the current.
What This Market Is
Kalshi is asking whether total tech sector layoffs in 2026 will be higher than in 2025. YES pays out if layoffs are worse; NO pays if 2026 is flat or better.
The Bottom Line
At 87 cents, the crowd already expects more tech carnage in 2026 — this whale is just adding fuel to a fire that’s already burning hot.
