Bulls say
“Historical data shows that April in Istanbul occasionally sees daily highs dip to the 8-12°C range during cloudy/rainy conditions, and Istanbul averages about 10 rainy days per month in April, meaning cold-rain events are not impossible even if uncommon.. The market asks for EXACTLY 10°C (presumably a range bucket), and while average highs are 15-17°C, the distribution has a tail — historical outliers exist where early April highs hit approximately 10°C according to the research..”
Bears say
“The market asks for EXACTLY 10°C as a temperature bucket, not 'at or below 10°C.' Even if a cold front arrives, the probability of landing in a narrow 1°C band (10°C specifically) rather than 11°C, 12°C, 13°C, or 14°C is multiplicatively small — you must both have an unusual cold event AND have it land in that precise bucket.. Current forecasts (as of ~April 7) show 15-17°C for early April, meaning a drop to 10°C would require a ~5-7°C anomaly below forecast in under 48 hours. This is a multi-sigma deviation from both climatological norms AND the current numerical weather prediction consensus..”
