This market will resolve according to the number of times Ted Cruz (@tedcruz), posts on X between June 16, 12:00 PM ET and June 23, 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 single moment, while this market aggregates real-money forecasts from traders who have financial incentive to predict accurately. Prediction market odds often diverge from polls because traders incorporate private information, recent events, and dynamic adjustments as new data emerges. For social media activity forecasts like this one, market prices reflect traders' expectations about Senator Cruz's posting behavior, which may differ from any public commentary or historical averages. Markets tend to update faster than traditional surveys.
On Polymarket, traders set the odds through continuous order-book trading, where buyers and sellers submit bids and asks for outcome shares. On Polymarket, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. The price of each outcome reflects the marginal probability assigned by the last matched trade. As new information surfaces or trader sentiment shifts, prices adjust in real time. You can enter limit or market orders to buy or sell shares at your chosen price, and your position's value fluctuates with the market price until resolution. The spread between bid and ask prices indicates liquidity and trading activity.
This market resolves around Jun 23, 2026, after the conclusion of the specified week. The outcome will be determined by counting verified posts from Senator Cruz's official social media accounts during that period. Once the event window closes, the result is confirmed against credible public sources and the market settles accordingly. Traders holding shares in the winning outcome receive their payout, while losing positions expire worthless. The exact resolution typically occurs within days of the end date, pending final verification.
Several factors may shift trader expectations and market prices leading up to resolution. Major political developments, legislative activity, or public controversies involving Senator Cruz could alter his social media posting frequency. Changes in his communication strategy or campaign priorities may also influence activity levels. Market participants monitor his historical posting patterns and recent trends to refine their forecasts. News coverage, platform algorithm changes, or shifts in political momentum could prompt traders to reassess their positions. As the resolution date approaches and actual post counts become observable, prices typically converge toward the true outcome.
