This market will resolve according to the number of times Khamenei (@khamenei_ir), posts on X between July 21, 12:00 PM ET and July 28, 2026, 12:00 PM ET. For the purposes of this market, only main feed posts, quote posts and reposts will count. Replies will NOT count towards the total - however, replies which are recorded on the main feed will be counted by the tracker. Deleted posts will count as long as they remain available long enough to be captured by the tracker (~5 minutes). The resolution source for this market is the "Post Counter" figure for posts found at https://xtracker.polymarket.com. Individual posts can be viewed by clicking "Export Data". If the tracker does not update correctly in accordance with the rules, X itself may be used as a secondary resolution source.

Prediction markets and polling serve different purposes. Polls measure stated preferences or opinions at a snapshot in time, while this market aggregates real-money forecasts from traders betting on a verifiable outcome—the actual count of posts. Market odds reflect traders' collective assessment of probability, incorporating available information and incentivizing accuracy through financial stakes. For social media activity, prediction markets can capture nuanced expectations about posting behavior that traditional surveys cannot easily measure, making them a complementary data source for understanding likely outcomes.
On Polymarket, this market is priced through an automated market maker that converts trader buy and sell orders into real-time odds for each outcome. On Polymarket, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. The top outcome currently reflects expectations around a specific post-count range, with the price representing the collective confidence of active traders. As new information emerges or trading volume shifts, the odds adjust continuously, allowing participants to enter or exit positions at prices that reflect the latest market consensus on Khamenei's likely social media activity.
This market resolves around Jul 28, 2026, once the observation period concludes and the actual post count can be verified. The outcome is determined by counting verified posts from the specified social media account during the July 21–28, 2026 window, confirmed against credible public sources. Traders' positions settle based on which outcome bracket the final count falls into, with payouts distributed accordingly to those who correctly predicted the result.
Several factors could shift odds in this market. Major political developments, international incidents, or domestic events in Iran might influence posting frequency or platform availability. Changes in Khamenei's communication strategy, technical disruptions to social media platforms, or shifts in his public engagement patterns could all impact trader expectations. Additionally, as the observation week approaches, historical posting data and recent activity trends may prompt traders to adjust their forecasts, causing price movements that reflect evolving confidence in different outcome ranges.
