On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. Each share represents a claim on one outcome, and the price you see reflects the most recent trade or the current spread between buy and sell orders. As new information emerges or trader sentiment shifts, prices adjust in real time. The implied probability is derived directly from the share price, so a higher price means the market is assigning a greater likelihood to that outcome.

Several factors could shift trader sentiment and move prices before this market resolves. Team roster changes, injury announcements, or roster substitutions for either squad could alter perceived strength.

Media coverage, expert analysis, and community discussion can also sway trader conviction.
