Price rose 2.9pp from 37.5% to 40.4% over 1h (steady). Now at 40.4%.

Days to resolution: 159 days. Theta-bleed is negligible over this short horizon, as the deadline is well over 90 days away. The ★DIRECT news ("Bolsonaro’s son runs for president with a mission: Get dad out of prison") is a high-quality, concrete confirmation that Flávio Bolsonaro is indeed running for president, directly supporting the YES outcome and aligning with the upward price trend. The CONTEXT event ("Concern stirs Lula camp as election bid loses momentum") suggests the main rival's campaign is weakening, which indirectly supports the YES side as well. The news momentum is not intensifying but is not fading either; it is steady, with the main story being the formalization and confirmation of Flávio Bolsonaro's candidacy. After clustering, there is 1 distinct ★DIRECT momentum signal and 0 counter signals. Momentum signals: trend=1, counter=0. Remaining space: 9.6pp (from 40.4% to 50%). Step 3 hard rule check: No rules bind against continuation, as there is at least one concrete ★DIRECT event supporting the trend and no counter-signals. Coverage is thin, but the quality of the direct signal meets the conviction floor for MEDIUM.
